Welcome to the inauguration podcast of the Whitney Shortt Show. We have a big topic today and we will do a deep dive into the history of the filibuster and why the Democrats are trying to push it as "Racist" when just last year they used it 327 times.
Unlike a lot of political articles or podcasts, I want to show you where I got my info so you can make your own decision on what I'm talking about. Every episode will have my articles, videos, or book links that I use.
