We are joined again by Dr. Steve Turley (see book and YouTube link below).  The guys dive right into President Trump’s speech to Congress last night.  It appears that the country is having a return to normalcy.  The pendulum swung so far to ab-normalcy over the last 4 years, that most of the country now realizes that we were ruled by Bonafide lunatics.

The Left is just seeing the world through these radical eyes, and the rest of the country is seeing now, how The Left see’s us all.  I mean you have gone insanely left when you lose the Village People and Snoop Dogg.
