in a Great show this week:

We discussed the 2nd impeachment trial, and the evidence that was presented, as well as whether Trump will be convicted.  We also talked about where the "line" is and should be in terms of being objective and standing up for what is right and truthful. We also discussed places where all sides of the political spectrum are failing in this respect and could do better based on current events from this week. 

Special guest Charles Riley, a Journalist from the Jersey shore area, discussed the present challenges he faces while conducting writing stories in an objective and practical manner. He and Larry also got into a deeper discussion regarding the current state of identity politics, the conflict between left/center, and how all of these things effect society and voting patterns.

Sit back, and listen.
