    Scranton Joe vs. Park Ave Trump

    Prosecutors in Donald Trump's criminal trial call their first witness: a former National Enquirer publisher who puts the former president at the center of a conspiracy to corrupt the 2016 election. Joe Biden wins a major endorsement from the building trades unions and works to define Trump as an out-of-touch rich guy who only wants to help his rich friends. In Pennsylvania, Connecticut hedge fund manager Dave McCormick officially wins the Republican nomination for Senate and will face Democratic Senator Bob Casey in the fall. Then, George Stephanopoulos talks with Dan about the challenges of covering Trump, his new book about the White House Situation Room.

These guys really take the sting out

America is weird and sad in so many ways right now, this team succeeds in making me feel slightly less depressed about it.

my favorite podcast

I somehow feel better about the crazy things going on in the USA after listening to these guys because they break things down in a digestible way and instead of complaining offer us ways to get involved and make change.

I love their banter

Their jokes are spot on, they dig into the opposition in very obvious ways which adds to the hilarity. You’re doing gods work gents.
