Can we bridge the deepest political divide in modern US politics? Pour a morning glass and watch as we tackle Trumpism, immigration, and the American economy without the usual political vitriol.

In this episode of the Whiskey Inspired podcast, John and Rick sit down with Penelope bourbon and Nc'nean single malt scotch to explore why people passionately love or fiercely oppose Donald Trump. This isn't your average political debate--it's an exercise in true civil discourse aimed at understanding the underlying motivations from both sides of the aisle.
