Summary
I've been a bit skeptical of my senator, Mark Kelly. I've said so on this show plenty of times. But yesterday David and I went to a "Kick Out Corruption Tour" event at ASU, organized by Stand Up America and End Citizens United, and… I came home genuinely impressed. Kelly talked Citizens United, congressional insider trading, Trump's insurrectionist slush fund, the weaponization of government, AI, and more — all without notes, without a teleprompter, with actual command of the facts. Oh, and I got to ask him the question I've been wanting to ask: why did he vote to confirm those Trump judicial nominees? His answer surprised me. I'm not saying I've drunk the Kool-Aid. I'm saying he earned some respect. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
