Mark Lawrence and Joe McGranaghan host a fabulous show.  Joe says the debate was worthless, Mark says it was exciting and valuable. Joe accurately points out that Elizabeth Warren won, and O’Rourke crashed badly. Mark disagreed, and seems to be the only person who liked Beto’s answers. They discussed answers, questions not included, and Mark completely forgot that in the last debate the dems said undocumented immigrants would be eligible for health care in their proposed plans (that was bad).  They also discussed Syria/Turkey/Pres. Trump and Lance called in about alcohol.  Mark was very snarky!

Dr. Alfred Kentigern Siewers, Associate Professor of English, Bucknell University, the above mentioned series, the implications of our time, what the ‘great America’ of the past entailed, and asking the question: What does it mean to be an American?
