Juntae would like to issue the following correction regarding his statements on John Bolton and Mike Pompeo in this episode:

"On John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, Juntae meant there was a lot more concern over the influence of Mike Pompeo in the current Trump cabinet than the others when he was first appointed earlier this year, but what we are witnessing is the opposite of those concerns."
