Hey, it's Michael. Today, the run-up are show about the midterm elections and how we got

to this fraught moment in American politics. Last week, we looked at the rise of Christian

War Room. And while it's controversial enough that YouTube and Spotify won't publish it,

Glenn Story is the founder of Patriot Mobile. You got to hear what he has to say. I tell you
