Corrections:

Money spent on school tents was around 300 grand not 10 million

Dr Holland's Name is pronounced SHAY LA Holland and has been Lake Forest High School's Principal for 6 years

***Pete was last seen at Walgreens refilling his Xanax

Pete and new CoHost Sasha are joined by GInger to talk about how she was targeted by the Lets Do Better Campaign

Ginger donated $4,000 to the Caucus campaign

Ginger made a late-night Facebook tirade post with questionable language which was screenshotted and sent in a campaign email this past weekend by let's do better.

No donations would have been needed if the opposition candidates operated within the current system in place versus contesting the election because they were not chosen by the Caucus

Some of the quotes on this episode:

"The debate went so horrible by the opposition party,  that they had to resort to such tactics"

" I was trying to make a point to spur conversation"

"Listen to the debate and do your own research on who to vote for versus looking at my Facebook post"
