  <itunes:subtitle>Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses the importance of understanding transparency and accountability while examining the incoming administrations for 2020! It is better to be cautiously optimistic than just lay down your guard and not be watchful! It is important to get an understanding of just what the new elected officials are planning before deciding to blindly follow them while declaring they have saved the day!

This is a part 1 episode that is purposefully vague... due to time sensitive information! Part 2 will follow... but it is TO BE DETERMINED when! (Part 2 will be called: Where Did You Go)... stay tuned!
