15 billion dollar, dollar, sounds like money laundering to me who owns the New York Times and why does he need to launder 15 billion dollars
breaking news, breaking news 🤪😁😂
Jo Jo was awful. I had to ditch after 5 minutes. It is too bad, because we are on the same side.
great show Bob!
Keith Olbermann on Countdown gives a great dressing-down of Bob ("shut the eff up!") Costa and a great historical rationale FOR Bob to shut the eff up. Don't know if you or Buzz read this here, Bob (speak the eff up!) Cesca, but if so, disseminate the KO punch! A formidable ally.
Bob and Hal - I think Trump is trying to nickname Nikki Harley, "Nimrod" but he can't even manage to pronounce that correctly FFS!
maybe he's trying to say nimrod
Great show... Buzz on point with his analysis. Bob has amazing energy!
Like Texas, the Catholic Church needs to take care of what’s in their own backyard.
why is it when the consequences of abortion, especially the physical and psychological, are discussed, "people" is the word used, not "women"?
omg you started with "So I married an axe murderer" I love that movie
We love you Bob, Jodie and of course T-Rex!
I love all of you...just so you know!
Thank you, Bob. It makes me cry to hear you say that! I'm a fan of yours forever, dude!
