John regularly exposes liars and “spokesholes” while providing blunt, fast paced analysis of the latest news. Whether getting up to the minute information from reporters on scene, newsmakers that have the inside story, or contributors to the program, John Kobylt covers it all from crime, local politics, corruption, business, social issues, and more.
