Episode #25 - The Right and Wrong on Immigration
A conversation this week that would have been on the atrocities that our White House and Department of Justice was doing to terrorize and destroy families seeking asylum here in the United States, but then President Trump had to ruin that by signing an executive order, stopping the separation of children and parents. So just listen, it all goes somewhere, and no where at the same time. As always, follow us on twitter; @aan_pod!

Aug 13, 2017
Episode #6 - Charlottesville, Virginia and the Aftermath-Forwardpath
A special recording, in the aftermath of the violence and tragedy that occured in Charlottesville, Virginia, I felt like it was probably good for me to record my thoughts on the events.

From our presidents vacation-tweets, to his press conference-threats; I give my opinion. I also go into my opinion of what makes up the majority of our voting population. Everyone should have the right to vote, but it is the responsibility of the voting population to be educated in the issues. So I talk a little about that, as well as my opinion on the failing completion of the nuclear power plant that is now no longer under construction here in South Carolina. All of that and more this week! As always follow me on twitter; @barrettgruber.
