EP83 - Trump, DOGE, Woke Liberals Being Woke Liberals, Epstein...

Sorry about the choppy video. Shutter speed got messed up when adjusting some things on the main camera. Oops. Today, Brian and Reggie get into the latest and greatest in the circus of political theater. And what a circus it is! Trump's congressional address was revealing but also not unexpected. DOGE is cleaning house. Epstein files have yet to be released. And what is up with the American Christian church and how they do outreach. ------ Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@randbtalks Check us out on Instagram: https://instagram.com/randbtalks?igshid=MmIzYWVlNDQ5Yg== Check us out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095476576481&mibextid=LQQJ4d Also available as a podcast on your favorite platform or via RSS feed here: https://media.rss.com/randbtalks/feed.xml
