Welcome back to the ModState Podcast.

As the impeachment inquiry drives on President Trump's personal Lawyer Rudy Giuliani has deepened the scrutiny and made it harder for his supporters to go to bat for him. What will be the tipping point? Is there a tipping point? What event could make the dominos fall and Republicans abandon the support of the president? Nate makes the case that Republicans support the president because they realize it is their key to re-election. As the allegations mount could the icing on the cake be the greatest foreign policy blunder since the Iraq war?

The Kurds have been utterly abandoned without a clear plan or objective from the President of the United States. His former Secretary of Defense resigned because of this plan and now President Trump has sprung into action abandoning a group that fought side-by-side in Syria against ISIS. How will this sit with future allies and groups that we partner with? What does this invasion by Turkey mean for the Kurds? Tune in and have a listen.

Welcome back to the ModState Podcast.

Again, gun violence is the main topic of conversation in homes and in the media. US citizens are left wondering where we go from here. But where do we go from here? Where can we point fingers? Can we point fingers? Does mental health play a role in this or can someone who is homicidal due to brain washing not have mental health issues? How do we go about tightening the grip of the 2nd amendment without violation other liberties? Tune in and listen to this heated conversation between John and Nate.

Listeners beware that this is a stream of consciousness episode. Both hosts are sensitive, empathetic and sympathetic to the experiences of every citizen and mourn with the nation over those lost to these senseless acts of violence.

John and Nate do not pretend to offer solutions to this problem but are merely trying to work out our present is situation in America, where we might be going, and how two ideologies clash.
