Summary

Happy Friday, Broadcast Fam! As early voting commences today on redistricting here in Virginia, John zeroes in on that topic, reminding everyone of the flip-flopping on the issue that has occurred, as well as the circumvention of state law to precipitate any vote. Additionally, John talks to pundit Elizabeth Pipko about the Trump Administration's second-term progress, we welcome former Virginia Governor & Ambassador to Europe Jim Gilmore back to the podcast, and the show concludes with an extended conversation about the extent to which a society should exalt and enact a policy of personal responsibility.
