 "Nunes News" | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:33:58

In this episode, I recap the Devin Nunes situation and how bizarre his story is, including his assertion he can remain impartial in leading the House Intelligence Committee's investigation. Also, who (or what) influences the Freedom Caucus, and how the GOP's corporate tax strategy is setting up Trump for another big loss. Finally, we discuss how Trump's behavior with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel demonstrated his utter lack of how NATO works and why that matters.

 "It Was Sham Populism" | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:26:53

In this episode, I cover the utter failure of Trump, Speaker Ryan, and the GOP to pass a healthcare bill, and how much of a sham this whole thing was. We go into why the Affordable Care Act is not in a death spiral, and why the Republicans own whatever happens in healthcare from now on. Plus, more context around James Comey's testimony and the FBI's "credible evidence."

 "Everytime They Say 'Freedom,' Watch Your Wallet" | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:27:27

In this episode, I dive into the behind-the-scenes machinations of the flailing GOP Healthcare Bill, and what happens next. How might they change the bill, and how does the strategy work in the face of the Freedom Caucus's desire to not replace Obamacare with anything at all? I then talk about the "nuclear option" - what it is, what it means, and why it matters. Finally, we go into the unique ethics issues and conflicts of interest in the Administration, and the chilling interview Trump gave to TIME magazine.

In this episode, I talk about the upcoming vote on TrumpCare, and the important context around it, as well as the Wall St. Journal's editorial about Trump's potential for being perceived as a 'fake president.' Plus more on the Gorsuch hearings, and how the FBI's investigation into Russian meddling into the US Election taints the President's nominations to the Supreme Court. Finally, I take your questions regarding AG Jeff Sessions and why he isn't being held accountable for lying under oath, the likelihood of Trump being impeached, and what Ivanka Trump brings (or doesn't bring) to the table in the White House.

 "The Framers' Number One Goal: Avoid Tyranny" | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:30:08

In this episode, I discuss new information about former Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort's cozy relationship to Russia, and why the need for an independent special prosecutor is so important at this time. Also, what it means for Ivanka Trump to hold an unofficial position in the White House unbound by ethics laws. Finally, I point out upcoming elections in Kansas and Montana where you can support progressive candidates and start turning the tide.

 "We Are Now in the Twilight Zone, Folks" | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:34:05

Today, I'm sharing some context around James Comey's testimony regarding Russian meddling in the US Election and why it is a big deal, and is Trump's unfounded wiretapping allegation really an impeachable offense? Plus, I take your questions related to impeachment process and the transfer of "soft power" to China.

 "Unnecessary, Gratuitous Cruelty" | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:30:12
