2/4 - Jimmy Failla on JMN

Jimmy Failla joins JMN for the weekly edition of Headlines & Punchlines (they're interchangeable these days) - and shares his thoughts on "nationalized elections," Trump's latest journalist aspersion, and how maybe people are putting too much emphasis on what's SAID versus what's DONE...and why we're living a reality like the Doors' "Roadhouse Blues," so wake up this morning and have yourself a beer, if that's your thing. Hear more with Jimmy Failla on FOX ACROSS AMERICA weeknights at 6pm!
