Harvey Cushing: A Biography By John F. Fulton Read by Edison McDaniels, MD Coming soon to Audible! The 1946 biography of Harvey Cushing by John Fulton on audiobook for the first time ever! “The Power of One, the Impact of Many.” For neurosurgery, there is no individual who encapsulates the power of one better than Harvey Cushing. Cushing (1869-1939) is the founding father of modern neurosurgery and was remarkably productive even by today's standards. It is estimated that in addition to everything else he accomplished, he wrote the equivalent of 1,000 words a day for the entirety of his 70 years on this earth. He also operated on over 2,000 brain tumors (less than 5 attempts had been made to operate on any brain tumor before him, only one successfully). This was at a time without antibiotics, specialized imaging, blood transfusions, intensive care units, or anything more than primitive early anesthetic techniques. He quite literally invented modern brain surgery. HARVEY CUSHING, A BIOGRAPHY, by John Fulton.  • This is the definitive biography of Harvey Cushing, published in 1946. • First time ever on audio! • This is not an AI production. The voice is mine, and all technical aspects of the production are my own work. I am a team of 1. This is a highly polished presentation. • The audiobook is 45 hours in length..  • Listeners can go directly to individual chapters or any of the excerpts or bonus materials. The Story of a Great Medical Pioneer Written in 1946 by the eminent scholar and physiologist John F. Fulton, a man who knew and worked alongside Cushing, this is the definitive biography of one of the most significant figures in the history of medicine and surgery. Cushing's legacy is present in every operating room in the world everyday, for he was much more than the father of modern neurosurgery: among other innovations, he was the first to follow blood pressure during surgery and the first to develop a practical means of doing so. He was a pioneer in electrocautery, otherwise known as the electric knife, which is used in most operations today to control bleeding. He worked out the relationship between gigantism and pituitary tumors. These are just a few of the numerous innovations and discoveries he is credited with. He counted among his friends and patients many of the foremost physicians, statesmen, scientists, and scholars of his time. One of his daughter's married FDR's son. Included among the correspondence here are notes and letters with Sir William Osler (the father of modern internal medicine), Walter Reed (the man who conquered Yellow Fever), William H. Taft, The Mayo Brothers (founders of The Mayo Clinic), William Halsted (the father of modern surgery), and many, many more. This work will be of great interest to neurosurgeons, medical students, nurses, neurosurgical physician associates, medical product reps, and anyone with any interest in the history of medicine. Cushing knew everybody who was anybody in medicine during the first third of the 20th century and it's all described here in remarkable prose. There is much material here on the founding of the Johns Hopkins Medical School as well as the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston. Includes the founding of the the Cushing Brain Tumor Archive at Yale and The Harvey Cushing Society, now known as the AANS. It will be easily accessible and can be listened to in piecemeal fashion, such as to and from work for 10 minutes at a time, or on a long car ride or when traveling by plane for hours. A surprising amount of Cushing's advice remains relevant to today's physicians in general and neurosurgeons in particular. I am a board certified neurosurgeon. I am also an accomplished audiobook narrator. I developed this over the years as a hobby that I could work at at any hour of the day or night amidst the busy schedule of a practicing neurosurgeon. I have a professional recording studio in my home and have recorded over 50,000 minutes of spoken word audio.

Original Campaign Speech by incumbent President Wiliam H. Taft.Full text:William Howard Taft: We are living in an age in which by exaggeration of the defects of our present condition, by false charges and responsibility for it against individuals and classes, by holding up to the feverish imagination of the less fortunate and the discontented the possibilities of a millenium, a condition of popular unrest has been produced.New parties are being formed with the proposed purpose of satisfying this unrest by promising a panacea. Insofar as inequality of condition can be lessened and equality of opportunity can be promoted by improvement of our educational systems, the betterment of the laws to ensure the quick administration of justice, and by the prevention of the acquisition of privilege without just compensation—insofar as the adoption of the legislation above recited and laws of a similar character may aid the less fortunate in their struggle with the hardships of life—all are in sympathy with the continued effort to remedy injustice and to aid the weak. And I venture to say, that there's no national administration in which more real steps of such progress have been taken than in the present one. But insofar as the propaganda for the satisfaction of unrest involves the promise of a millenium—a condition in which the rich are to be made reasonably poor and the poor reasonably rich, by law - we are chasing a phantom. We are holding out to those whose unrest we fear, a prospect and a dream, a vision of the impossible.After we have changed all the governmental machinery, so as to permit instantaneous expression of the people in constitutional amendments, in statutes, and in recall of public agents, what then? Votes are not bread, constitutional amendments are not work, referendums do not pay rent or furnish houses, recalls do not furnish clothing, initiatives do not supply employment or relieve inequalities of condition or of opportunity. We still ought to have set before us the definite plans to bring on complete equality of opportunity, and to abolish hardship and evil for humanity. We listen for them in vain.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

“It's true. But it takes more than that to kill a bull moose.” This is the story of one of the most unique, bitter, impactful, and noteworthy elections in US history: the presidential election of 1912. President William H. Taft is sure that he's carrying on the progressive legacy of his dear friend and mentor, Theodore Roosevelt. But TR disagrees. Returning from an African safari and European tour, Teddy feels compelled to challenge his old friend for the GOP nomination as he touts his progressive “New Nationalism” plan. His challenge will split the party and several friendships. But TR isn't the only one talking “reform.” A rising star in the Democratic Party, Princeton Professor and President T. Woodrow Wilson, is also looking to take his party down the progressive path. The professor is putting his “New Freedom” up against TR's New Nationalism. Nor is Woodrow the only challenger. Socialist Eugene Debs thinks both the Prof. and TR are too still conservative, and he's armed with greater support for the socialist cause than the nation has ever seen. A Republican. A Socialist. A progressive Democrat. A progressive Bull Moose. That mix alone is interesting, to say nothing of the friendships that will end or a nearly successful assassination attempt. This is the election of 1912. ___ 4 Ways to dive deeper into History That Doesn't Suck Join our growing facebook community Get our weekly newsletter, The Revolution Become part of the HTDS Patreon family Subscribe to Greg's monthly newsletter, Connected History Learn more about your ad choices.

Las propinas son siempre un tema polémico. ¿Hay que dejarlas? ¿Es obligatorio? ¿Me van a mirar mal si no la incluyo? ¿Se va a quejar el camarero? En España son voluntarias, pero para los profesionales, especialmente en el sector de la hostelería, son esperadas. Son un gesto de agradecimiento por el servicio recibido, o una forma de asegurarse un trato preferente si el cliente va a volver en el futuro.Pero se trata de un tema eminentemente cultural, con importantes diferencias según el país en el que nos encontremos. Así, hay algunos países, principalmente en Asia, donde es una costumbre muy mal vista, que incluso se puede considerar grosera o de mal gusto. Algo parecido pasaba en Paraguay, donde las propinas eran vistas como una especie de soborno incómodo, pero con el aumento del turismo recibido se han ido normalizando, y los profesionales ya las esperan con alegría.Hay otros países, como la vecina Francia, Cuba, Países Bajos, Alemania... donde son obligatorias. En algunos casos, incluso es un servicio incluido en la cuenta, del que no te puedes librar.Pero donde se libra la batalla principalmente es en países como Canadá, India, República Checa... y sobre todo Estados Unidos, donde las propinas son un pilar fundamental para los sueldos de los camareros. Y para los taxistas, los peluqueros, los recepcionistas de hotel... No son obligatorias, pero son casi un deber moral. Da igual si el trato recibido ha sido bueno, malo o regular, se espera que se dé. Y en algunos casos hasta se incluye el porcentaje esperado en el ticket.¿Cómo surge esta tradición? ¿En qué momento las propinas se volvieron tan importantes para los trabajadores? ¿A qué se debe? Sorprendentemente, la cultura del 'tipping' está en realidad fuera del país. De hecho, hasta 1840 no existía esta práctica, según el historiador Kerry Segrave.Era una tradición europea. Se calcula que se originaron en Inglaterra en el siglo XVI, cuando los huéspedes dejaban dinero para los empleados de sus anfitriones, para compensar el trabajo adicional que les generaban. Un libro anónimo inglés de 1795, recogido por la BBC, explica un poco su funcionamiento en aquella época. "Si un hombre con su caballo se aloja en una posada, además de pagar la factura debe dar al menos un chelín al camarero y seis peniques a la mucama, al mozo de cuadra y al limpiabotas, lo que suma media corona".Un viajero inglés llamado John Fowler, famoso ingeniero especializado en ferrocarriles, viajó a Nueva York en 1830, con esta experiencia y esta cultura de las propinas a sus espaldas. Tomó numerosas notas durante su visita, entre las que destacaba el siguiente gasto: "Total, 81 centavos; camarero 0, mucama y botas, ídem; y cortesía y agradecimiento por el trato. ¿Se verá esto en Inglaterra? Pasará algún tiempo antes de que allí se convierte en costumbre".¡Creía que la costumbre de que no hubiera propinas se trasladaría de Estados Unidos a Europa! Sin embargo, ocurrió lo contrario. Cuando el siglo XIX tocaba a su fin, los estadunidenses importaron la costumbre europea. Fue la vocación elitista de aquellos americanos, imitadores de las prácticas de la aristocracia europea, los que empezaron a dar propinas en su país. Era un gesto como para recordar que tenían una educación refinada.También jugó un papel fundamental en la consolidación de esta práctica el fin de la esclavitud. Los restaurantes querían seguir teniendo mano de obra negra gratuita, así que adaptaron las propinas para convertirás en el salario de los empleados. "Les dijeron a los negros: te vamos a contratar, no te vamos a pagar, pero puedes recibir propinas", explica Saru Jayaraman, activista pro derechos laborales, en declaraciones a BBC. Hay que tener en cuenta que los empleados negros representaban casi la mitad de la industria hostelera.El racismo también ejercía una gran presión en este aspecto. "Los negros aceptan propinas, por supuesto, uno espera eso de ellos, es una señal de su inferioridad. Pero dar dinero a un hombre blanco me daba vergüenza", señaló en 1902 el periodista John Speed, según NPR.Como ahora, las propinas ya recibían críticas en aquella época. En 1904 surge la primera sociedad contra las propinas, que llegó a sumar más de 100.000 personas que se negaban a pagar propinas. Uno de los principales detractores de esta práctica era el propio presidente, William H. Taft. Hasta 6 Estados llegaron a prohibir por ley las propinas, aunque en la década de los 20 derogaron todas estas leyes.La cultura del tipping, de las propinas, se consolida definitivamente en 1966. El Congreso aprueba entonces la Tip Credit, una disposición que permitía a las empresas del sector servicios pagar a algunos empleados por debajo del salario mínimo. Daban por hecho que sus ingresos se verían compensados a través de las propinas recibidas.En la actualidad, el salario mínimo de estos trabajadores está fijado en 2,12 dólares por hora, una cifra que lleva congelada desde el año 1991. Son muchas las voces que vuelven a insistir en prohibir las propinas en Estados Unidos. Algunos Gobiernos regionales, como los de California, Oregón o Nevada, han impulsado leyes en este sentido, que elevan el salario mínimo de los camareros, para que no dependan de las propinas para completar los ingresos básicos.Una tendencia que ha llegado ya a la Casa Blanca, que busca impulsar esta especie de Ley de Antipropinas, que tiene como principal objetivo reducir la precarización salarial.

Tras más de 20 años investigando científicamente a los hombres más ricos de su época, Napoleón Hill aprendió el secreto de la riqueza del famoso industrial y escritor Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie no sólo llegó a ser multimillonario sino que hizo millonarios a una multitud de personas a las que enseñó su sabiduría. Piense y hágase rico es una obra diseñada a partir de su experiencia para conseguir el triunfo económico y personal de la humanidad entera. Gracias a este libro, la riqueza y la realización personal están al alcance de todas aquellas personas que lo deseen. Para lograr sus objetivos, entrevistó durante 25 años a 500 millonarios que le revelaron el origen de su riqueza: Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford, Elmer Gates, Charles M. Schwab, Theodore Roosevelt, William Wrigley Jr., John Wanamaker, William Jennings Bryan, George Eastman, Woodrow Wilson, William H. Taft, John D. Rockefeller, F.W. Woolworth, Jennings Randolph entre otros

In this episode, Brynn Anderson and I listen to an amazing series of lectures from the legend, Napoleon Hill.. Napoleon discusses several principles of success that can help you manifest abundance in your life.. He also guides us through several techniques to help greater develop your person, and achieve everything you desire.. Drop In!Napoleon Hill Bio:American born Napoleon Hill is considered to have influenced more people into success than any other person in history. He has been perhaps the most influential man in the area of personal success technique development, primarily through his classic book Think and Grow Rich… Napoleon Hill was born into poverty in 1883 in a one-room cabin on the Pound River in Wise County, Virginia. At the age of 10 his mother died, and two years later his father remarried. He became a very rebellious boy, but grew up to be an incredible man. He began his writing career at age 13 as a "mountain reporter" for small town newspapers and went on to become America's most beloved motivational author. Fighting against all class of great disadvantages and pressures, he dedicated more than 25 years of his life to define the reasons by which so many people fail to achieve true financial success and happiness in their life. During this time he achieved great success as an attorney and journalist. His early career as a reporter helped finance his way through law school. He was given an assignment to write a series of success stories of famous men, and his big break came when he was asked to interview steel-magnate Andrew Carnegie. Mr. Carnegie commissioned Hill to interview over 500 millionaires to find a success formula that could be used by the average person.These included Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford, Elmer Gates, Charles M. Schwab, Theodore Roosevelt, William Wrigley Jr, John Wanamaker, WIlliam Jennings Bryan, George Eastman, Woodrow Wilson, William H. Taft, John D. Rockefeller, F. W. Woolworth, Jennings Randolph, among others. He became an advisor to Andrew Carnegie, and with Carnegie's help he formulated a philosophy of success, drawing on the thoughts and experience of a multitude of rags-to-riches tycoons. It took Hill over 20 years to produce his book, a classic in the Personal Development field called Think and Grow Rich. Napoleon Hill passed away in November 1970 after a long and successful career writing, teaching, and lecturing about the principles of success. His work stands as a monument to individual achievement and is the cornerstone of modern motivation. With sales of more than 100 million, his book, Think and Grow Rich, is the all time best-seller in the field. Get bonus content on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Good Morning, Colorado, you're listening to the Daily Sun-Up with the Colorado Sun. It's Thursday September 23rd.   Today - The state's system that treats children with severe mental health issues is completely overwhelmed. Some kids are staying in county office buildings given the lack of safe housing. And on top of that, nearly 70 foster kids across the state are missing.   But before we begin, let's go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett's book “Colorado Day by Day”:   Today, we're going back to September 23rd, 1909 when President William H. Taft, standing on a stage in Montrose County, set a golden bell down on a silver plate. An electric current opened the gates holding back the Gunnison River and water flowed through a 6 mile tunnel to the Uncompahgre River valley. President Taft predicted that “this valley, with an unpronounceable name, is going to blossom like a rose”, and within a few years 470 miles of canals were built to encourage diverse agricultural products.   Now, our feature story.   Colorado's system that treats children with severe mental health issues is so stretched that kids are in jeopardy. That's the upshot of a fiery letter sent by county health directors to state officials, and the details are bracing. Children in crisis are staying in motels and county office buildings for a lack of safe housing. Child protective workers spend hours, even days, on the phone trying to help them. And nearly 70 foster kids across the state are missing. Jennifer Brown has the details.      To read more of Jennifer's reporting on children in state custody, go to coloradosun.com.    And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today:   A Colorado State University Pueblo student who authorities say made threats towards staff and fellow students at the school has been arrested after police say they found “a large cache of loaded weapons” and nearly 1,000 rounds of ammunition in his vehicle on campus. Robert James Killis, a 24-year-old who the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office says has military experience, is suspected of unlawful carrying/possessing a weapon on a university campus after the arrest Wednesday. The offense is a low-level felony.   Littleton police have named a suspect in a shooting that wounded one of their officers in the chest. Police are seeking 33-year-old Rigoberto Valles Dominguez, who remained at large Wednesday. The wounded officer, David Snook, was hit in his arm, leg and torso. He remains heavily sedated in an intensive care unit, Littleton Police Department Chief Doug Stephens said during a news conference, adding that the officer has ”a long road ahead of him.”   The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission has issued its second-largest penalty ever -- imposing a $2 million fine against oil and gas operator KP Kauffman. The company was initially hit with a $1.8 million fine but the commission raised the tab after concluding that KP Kauffman had engaged in a “pattern of violations” for leaks and spills. The largest fine, $18.25 million, was issued in 2020 to Occidental Petroleum Corp., the state's largest operator, for a 2017 house explosion in Firestone that killed two people.     Jim Sheeler, beloved for remarkably evocative obituary writing during his years as a Colorado journalist, has died in Ohio at the age of 53. In 2006, when he worked for the Rocky Mountain News, Sheeler won the  Pulitzer Prize for Feature writing for Final Salute, a long-form story that chronicled the work of Major Steve Beck and how he helped the families of Marines who lost their lives in Iraq cope with the cost of war. Sheeler later taught at the University of Colorado and at the time of his death was a professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.      For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

Phil and Jake are joined by friend and fellow Ted-head Phoebe Assenza for a deep-dive discussion and ranking of Theodore Roosevelt on the List of Every Damn Thing.If you have something to add to the list, email it to list@everydamnthing.net (or get at us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook).Make sure to check out Phoebe's Substack.SHOW NOTES: Phil claims his sister (and recent EDT guest) Alexa Green said dry-cleaning is a mutually-agreed upon lie that holds society together. Phil takes it a step further and claims that laundry detergent might not be real either. He knows for a fact that dryer sheets aren't real. Phoebe disagrees as a laundry-doer in humid and smelly New York.  Phil also says that peanuts should be marketed as the most crunchy form of peanut butter; peanuts become peanut butter once you chew them so they should be sold as a less messy form of peanut butter. Here's the History Vs. Theodore Roosevelt podcast that Jake listened to for show prep. The Strenuous Life is a speech in which T.R. said that “danger, hardship, and bitter toil… win the splendid triumph.” As a sickly kid, Roosevelt's father pushed him to challenge himself physically and it became the cornerstone of Teddy's persona — walking into danger like the Battle of San Juan Hill, choosing a rugged life in the Badlands rather than seeking comfort in New York after the death of his mother and wife on the same night.  William McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist. The guy who tried to assassinate Teddy Roosevelt said McKinley visited him in a dream and told him to do it.   The "Man in the Arena" speech is actually called “Citizenship in a Republic”. Roosevelt was a backer of the Simplified Spelling Board, who pushed to simplify spelling. Grave-robbing was a big deal before someone thought up donating your body to science. The Panama Canal was completed in 1914 (the Suez Canal was completed forty-five years earlier in 1869). Turns out it was actually TR's dad (TR senior) who was one of the founders of the American Museum of Natural History, not TR.  Lamarckian evolution, as we discussed, is a discredited idea of evolution where acquired characteristics are inherited. The classic example is a giraffe. Lamarck explained that a giraffe's neck is long because its ancestors stretched their necks to get leaves and passed the longer necks along to their descendants.

Ohio State destroyed Maryland 73-14, which means the Buckeyes have won nine straight games by 20 points or more. And they out-gained the Terps in total offense 192-1 more yard than I gained from the couch watching that game. With a 46-41 win against the Tide, the LSU Tigers snapped Alabama’s 31-game home-win-streak. President Trump was at the game. He was the first sitting president since William H. Taft in 1909 to attend an LSU game, which is as political as this channel is gonna get. Minnesota upset Penn State 31-26 at TCF Bank Stadium. Antoine Winfield Jr. had two picks. Rashod Bateman snatched seven passes for 203 yards, and the win ended a 13-game losing streak against ranked opponents. The win against No. 4 Penn State was the Golden Gophers’ first against a top-five opponent since beating No. 2 Penn State in 1999. The Gophers have a two-game lead in the West Division with three left to play, which means the rodent is this close to getting exterminated by Ohio State. Clemson neutered the Wolfpack 55-10, but that team lost its manhood to West Virginia two months ago. Georgia’s defense decided to make like Judge Smails with Mizzou. You’ll get nothing and like it. The 27-0 victory was the third shutout the Bulldogs pitched this season, which is the first time that’s happened since 1981. Oregon and Utah didn’t play this week. But nobody noticed, and the Pac-12 Network probably didn’t either. And when it does you’ll never see it. Baylor damn near screwed up getting College Game Day to come to the crib. They beat Texas Christian 29-23 in three overtimes in a game that yielded five turnovers, six sacks and 21 penalties for 192 yards, which is 52 yards more than Max Duggan passed for and 93 more yards than Baylor rushed for, and my Baylor thank you for putting yourself in position to take this Sooner whooping in front of a national TV crowd. Lincoln Riley's Oklahoma Sooners barely beat Matt Campbell's Iowa State Cyclones 42-41 on Saturday night, and it's the closest thing to a bad win OU has seen in years. Jalen Hurts hit 18 of 26 passes for 273 yards and rushed for 68 on 22 carries. Brock Purdy passed for 282 yards with five touchdowns, and Breece Hall rushed for 110 yards on 18 carries. Oklahoma defensive coordinator Alex Grinch has some explaining to do as the Sooners have given up an average of damn near 45 points per game. Somebody stab me. Arkansas finally did what I said they were gonna do and removed Chad Morris from the driver’s seat in the hopes that Jesus will take the wheel. With a 4-18 record in Fayetteville, Morris got just one more game to get something going than he of the box-stealing, build a clubhouse clique, Willie Taggart, and has a record of 18-40 as a head coach. You can’t lose to Western Kentucky 45-19 and expect to be on the Razorback Christmas list. Chad Morris once worked at the University of Tulsa, and that’s my segue into 3-7 TU’s upset of 7-3 Central Florida in a game TU deserved to win. UCF did their damndest to help the Golden Hurricane with a Tulsa-esque 15 penalties for 120 yards, and Seth OK Boomer tried to give me a heart attack, but I didn’t stroke out though I’m sure some TU boosters did. K-State gave up the booty to Texas on a late smash from Dicker the Kicker who just keeps trying to make me use R-rated terms to describe his elongated right leg, but I have not given in yet. And Appalachian State is the Carolina states champ with wins over North Carolina and South Carolina. Transitive energy says you rank them right ahead of UGA, cowards.

This week on Out of Office: A Travel Podcast, Kiernan chats with James Van Nuys, the sculptor behind a new statue of Barack Obama, which will join 43 of Obama’s Presidential predecessors in downtown Rapid City, South Dakota as part of the “City of Presidents.” They talk about nearby Mount Rushmore, how Van Nuys got through sculpting some of the least notable Presidents, and the challenges ahead for whoever gets stuck molding #45.

We know about the Prodigal Son, but what about the Elder Brother? News of the week, words of the week, a 1909 Proclamation by William H. Taft and the recent Supreme Court decision on a large cross.

When President McKinley was assassinated and Theodore Roosevelt took office in 1901, progressivism became a powerful national movement. During his tenure as president, Roosevelt was a loud and effective advocate for “trust-busting,” the breaking up of enormous monopolies that had controlled prices and prevented competition. He also advocated for fair trade and pro-labor laws, including a decreased workweek, child labor restrictions, and workplace safety rules. Roosevelt, returning power to the White House not seen since Abraham Lincoln, set the stage for William H. Taft and Woodrow Wilson to continue the legacy of progressivism - that is, until World War I broke out.

In 1908, William Howard Taft (September 15, 1857 to March 8, 1930) was the Secretary of War under President Theodore Roosevelt, when he received the Republican nomination for President. After delivering his acceptance speech in Cincinnati, he traveled to Virginia Hot Springs, arriving on the morning of August 1.Walter H. Miller and George H. Werner of the Edison Recording Department were there to record Taft delivering some of his speeches. That evening, Miller and Werner recorded Taft delivering 12 speeches, each about 2 minutes long, which were released as Edison records. This speech, opposing a Democratic proposal for jury trial in cases of contempt of court, was released as Edison Record: 10005.Taft was elected and served as President from 1909 to 1913. He was later appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in 1921 and served until 1930. As Chief Justice he wrote the opinion of the Court in Ex parte Grossman, 267 U.S. 87 (1925), holding that the President can pardon criminal contempt of court.This recording is from the UCSB Cylinder Audio Archive.

The guys also talk about how border crossings by illegal immigrants have gone down since President Trump has taken office as well as how the media backed Trump into a corner during the primaries and how he used their actions against them.-A new study by border agencies show that the number of illegal immigrants crossing the border has gone down by 40% since Donald Trump has taken office.
