No matter where you sit on the political spectrum, it is safe to say that things are not going well. Record high inflation, fuel prices, and overall costs of living plague the average American who already is more than likely buried under some other form of non-mortgage debt. (Student loans, medical expenses, et.al.) Pile that under civil discord, international unrest, and a handful of other headlines de ‘jour (take whatever flavor of fear mongering you want today) and you have a perfect recipe for a barn burner of an election. This week on The Malliard Report, Jim takes on the wild challenge of every first Tuesday of the month and opens the lines up for live calls. While there is always an element of surprise and unexpectedness, a live call show is always a favorite. While still the open forum of a live call show, this episode maintains a theme and theme centric discussion. The continual downward spiral of the current two-party system, and the implementation of a viable third party. Maybe something like a “Malliard Duck Party.” Could we make it a thing? Jim has already secured the domain name, so it must be real right? Live calls are always a great show, and the callers’ insights are truly the best out there. Make sure you are not missing out on the action yourself. Join us every Tuesday in the Duck Pond live chat over on malliard.com, 9 P.M. EST.
