Up The Middle: Politics for the Rest of Us!

Why Talk Radio Sucks!

Today, Yergz vents a bit of frustration, as he tells you about Brian Kilmeade, Erick Erickson and Jesse Kelly. Yergz reminds you that he's the only one that encourages you to tell him he's wrong (if that day actually happens), that he's the only one to tell you not to just listen to him, but to let his work be your starting point.  He reminds you that no one else gives you their show notes and says, "Here!  Prove me wrong!"  or "Here, I've given you a starting point!"

Get off the porch and run with one of the real big dogz!  Go with Yergz "Up The Middle"!

In this epsisode we return back to the segment "Crushing ICE," where Yergz takes a look at the illegal activities of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency.  Here we talk about Agent Christian Castro, the second agent to be charged with a crime from the inappropriate conduct while on the job.

Then Yergz takes a look at the history of Memorial Day, as well as the fact that the military already has a month dedicated to it, like so many anti-Pride people say it needs.

This is the final segment of each weekly radio show episode.  "From the Heart" is a great one-on-one type of chat with Yergz.  Maybe he breaks away from politics for a bit, maybe it's a march right down Pennsylvania Avenue!  But it's always "From the Heart!"

Ex-CIA Officer John Kiriakou talks about how the CIA had two bad people in the directorship of CIA.  Yergz reminds us that this was when there were "adults in the room," keeping Trump in check and on course.
