First again our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and the loved ones involved in the Las Vegas Massacre. There are just no words to describe the horror. John and I discussed the Catalonian succession vote in Spain. Seems that the powers that be didn't want to see it happen and attacked innocent people who were voting. There were hundreds of injuries for absolutely now reason. And the vote, largely symbolic, still went to independence. As John says, "It's easy for a small area to setup a country these days." |

James Hirsen joined us for a talk about Trump vs. The NFL. But first we had to discuss the slaughter that took place in Las Vegas. The horror of being a sitting duck and not even knowing it. Our hearts go out to the victims and their loved ones. Next we talked about the Mainstream Media and the NFL. They're both going down the tubes together. Next mess with your brand. It's like the Grammies, the Emmies and every other award show. When you upset half your audience, bad things are going to happen. |
