How Love of Money Replaced Love of Nation and Spirit Apr 05, 2023

Patriotism and religion are luxuries. When you can’t pay the rent or feed your family, when you’re pestered by bill collectors, it’s hard to think of anything other than money. OPEC Plus are cutting back oil production to raise prices. Are they doing it just to spite America and other democracies around the world? Did Saudis Cut Oil Production To Punish Democracies? Also Rep. Mark Pocan drops in to reflect on the recent wins in Wisconsin.
