I may not be able to mail you a gift, but I can give you the gift of knowledge this Christmas! This is the second half of the conversation that Benji, Harry, and I started back in Episode 2, so if you haven’t listened to that, pause this episode and watch that one first. This time, we break down some of the arguments about why Biden isn’t mentally fit to be president, uncover the problems with how Biden treats his disability, and talk about some of the awesome things the president-elect has done to support the stuttering community. Have a safe and happy holidays everyone!
