Radio host Rod Arquette and I had fun tonight smacking around the media and Kamala Harris’ record on 105.9 KNRS in Salt Lake City. Here’s a few outtakes: “This presidential race is being portrayed as a choice of Hitler or Joan of Arc. But it’s not that simple.” “Harris talks about a having a future […]
