But this is where we are, America, going into this weekend, if they can do it to Renee Good and they can do it to Chung Lee Tao, and they can do it to William Verme, the combat veteran, and they can do it to five-year-old Leon Romoz and other kids, they can do it to anyone, and they can do it to you. I'm Welcome to Independent Americans.

Welcome to episode 423.

0:34.9

I am your host, Paul Reichoff, coming to you from New York City, USA, and it is Friday, January 23rd, which means it is football Friday.

0:48.5

And Willie Geist is here for it. Snowpocalypse is coming, but so is Willie. It's Notorious B.I.G.

is coming, but so is Willie. And this storm has a name. It's Winter Storm Fern, but we've got our

2:41.1
