Author Anthony Amore introduces us to a far more fascinating a dangerous person in his new book, "The Woman Who Stole Vermeer: The True Story of Rose Dugdale and the Russborough House Art Heist."Also, the Squad and Obama go at it and the literary industry lays down the law. And, more elected officials living the non-Covid rule life.Get Anthony's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Woman-Who-Stole-Vermeer-Russborough/dp/1643135295L...

Does everyone in the national press depend on the president's cabinet picks to heal their wounded psyches? We try to determine what is psychologically going on with the people who are supposed to be covering the transition. We also check in with Jordan Peterson, who is at the center of a woke rebellion in publishing, and provide an update on the arrest of Ashburnham spitter Hale Powell.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMcjxSThD54Follow the show on Twitter: @burnbarrelpodFacebook: www.facebook.com...

America, we haven't hired the best people. As a matter of fact, we're being led by a legion of the absolute worst. And we're not talking about Donald Trump.

It's days later and Eva Longoria is still apologizing for her comments on Latinas. Historian and MSNBC contributor Jon Meacham's pompous praise for Biden's speeches turns out to be because...he's Biden's speechwriter. The only thing that can calm Tom down is the dulcet tone of Hugh Grant telling Stephen Colbert what it's really like to have COVID.

If you are one of the 70 million plus people who voted for Trump, the TV talking heads want you to know you have a lot of self-reflection to do about your bigotry and selfishness.

Election night is still not over nearly 24 hours after the polls first began to close, and Trump, it turns out, was not down 17 points in Wisconsin! Multiple swing states are yet to be called and both Democrats and Republicans are leveraging everything they have to try to make sure they vote count goes their way. Trump will fight to the end, but even if Biden is sworn in next January, Democrats are certain that they've already somehow lost.Follow the show on Twitter: @burnbarrelpodFacebook: www....
