This is an I-Heart podcast.

Welcome to the Tudor Dixon podcast.

I have one of my friends with me today from the Clay and Buck Network, Carol Markowitz.

She is not only a podcaster, but she also has a few different columns in the New York Post

openly profess her faith and practice her faith, it's like something we just take for granted.

Definitely. So I was born in Russia and I came to the U.S. and every single year we celebrate the day that my mom and I arrived in America.

And I think about this because all I've ever wanted was my kids not to have an Americaversary.
