You have a natural talent for talk radio and speak well and kept the show moving. As a fellow El Pasoan, I’m glad there is a local host who can speak positively for our city. I am a republican and figured out your views about our President are different than mine but that won’t stop me from listening to the show. We all are entitled to our opinions and beliefs and I’m open minded to hear what the other side has to say about our current issues. Look forward to hearing more shows and catch up on the older ones.
