This week, we cover a spectacular interview with Michael Flynn that will...well, just listen because it's really hard to describe how you will view it unless you listen to me break it down. We also talk about some of the infighting with the Democrats and how that all might play out in the Biden Administration. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-moderate-podcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-moderate-podcast/support...

This week, we talk about a state that finds itself in the national spotlight of Presidential politics for the first time since possibly 2008 (and that was only because the Republican nominee was from the state). Arizona is finding out what it's like to be a swing state. Will it swing the other way, or do what it has consistently done since 1952? We also talk about the absurd and virtually impossible threshold to open amusement parks in California, Republican Senators and their relationships and ...

This week, we dive into some early numbers on the 2020 election, but as the 2016 election would remind us, it is way too soon to make any predictions on where this will go, especially given how close the swing states are. And since it is almost a guarantee Trump will dispute the results if he loses, we talk about the closest election in our nation's history...and I'm not talking about Bush v. Gore.

I don't know what it is, but people have all of these (stupid) reasons why they don't want to wear a mask. Is it because they simply don't like to be told what to do? Is it because they only care about themselves and "aren't afraid of the virus"? Is it because of some vast left wing conspiracy? Who knows! But we talk about it all on today's program.
