Let me tell you Randy he is not fooling anybody with the way of his words I'm also a Vet and I know that he hates both of the professions I was in. we are in a lot of trouble in this country under this administration he is nothing but a lying hypocrite and Randy thank you for bringing this podcast to the forefront not that anybody has been
