Hey Steve: I have to disagree with one of your statements. You said something to the effect, that when people see what the new left wing members of the house do, it will swing back to the right. Well, if voters cant see all the crap left has done, especially in the last two years, they will remain blind and stupid. I cant believe that the left won the house. The public is very responsible for draining the swamp and they refuse to do that. Great that Marsha and Bill won!! Thats a bright spot. Hope we retire Alexander in the next election in favor of a real conservative. That’s my thoughts. Have a good one.
Both men will be a breath of fresh air to the airwaves.
Best news I have heard today! Morning radio has not been the same since Steve left and welcome Michael!
