The Raw Deal (27 June 2025) with co-host Paul from CA and special guest, Sofia Smallstorm

After a review of the latest from Ukraine and the war between Israel and Iran, we turned to Sofia's discussion of books about the Kennedy men and women and especially JFK's sexual history. It was a fascinating presentation with astute observations by Paul. Looking forward to featuring her again.
