This week Marion interviewed Nancy Pelosi. She recaps the conversation with comedian Jarlath Regan and together they reflect on the latest news from the campaign trail. Can Donald produce the cash to pay his bond on Monday? Is the bond amount too high? Marion has a surprising take on this one.

How are we still talking about Donald Trump when Texas and other border states are allowing people to die during their attempted crossings? SB4 threatens to make this appalling situation far worse. Can it be stopped? The 5th Circuit has allowed it. Now it’s the Supreme Court’s chance to stand up but don’t count on that. Is the Supreme Court the most dangerous force in America? Is their goal to retain a white America? Surely that’s already impossible?

Over in the extended episode we hear who might be Trump’s blind date running mate. He is turning this into a game show. Marion reflects on Leo Veradkur’s Washington visit and why politicians tend to resign. What kind of resignation was this? The Oscars and the future of funding for Israel brutal assault on Gaza. A new investigation has made shocking revelations about October 7th.
