Truth in the Barrel with Amy McGrath

One year ago, Amy joined Lisa Parker (aka "Mamaw") on her wildly popular show, Mamaw's Porch N' Politics and had a lively discussion about a host of whole host of things. One year later, Amy thought it would be fun to have Lisa on her own proverbial porch and have a catch up on what has been happening with our so-called leadership since. They talk Hegseth, Iran and even make a few key predictions for next month's midterm elections. You're not going to want to miss this one!
