The whole thing reads like a film-school screenplay. I don't believe any of it. Not you, or the connection of "your son" to that Hannity call.
If its fake, Petronski, it's a pretty elaborate setup, based on the sign-up dates. Wish I'd heard it myself. Having fielded some local talk radio myself, sometimes I get a gut feeling just by hearing someone say "hello" that they're going to be pushing an agenda outside the topic, and it's best to put it away quickly.
