For Better or Worse, the state of it all Oct 04, 2017

Show notes

Francis talks to Adam Weinstein, Task and Purpose senior editor, veteran and writer all over about the state of America. We talk about an article Adam wrote about Spencer Rapone, the West Point Communist, and Alejandro Villanueva and their important roles in American society. And just how we're royally screwing that society over by climbing into our echo chamber bubbles and shutting out the rest of the world.
