4.2 – Fraud in Florida?!

November 13, 2018 by Phil Leave a Comment

This is a “Tweet ‘Em If You Got ‘Em” episode, focused on this tweet:

In essence, we’re talking about voter fraud in Florida, the state with the worst track record for close elections. And we’re also talking about the President, the Twitter user with the worst track record for facts.

3.5 – NAT-UH-OH!

June 13, 2017 by Phil Leave a Comment

NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) was created to stand up against the USSR. It’s been around for nearly seventy years, but most US citizens don’t know that much about it.

Neither do Kevon and Phil, but they’re trying! Here’s a tiny bit on NATO and how the President’s views on this could be an issue for the Russia investigation. Also, you can consider this a prelude to an EU/Brexit episode.
