Dec 24, 2024•38 min•Ep 264•Transcript available on Metacast There’s a surprising face on the cover of Time Magazine, considering the fact that not 4 years ago the same face was accused of inciting an insurrection.

Oct 03, 2024•40 min•Ep 252•Transcript available on Metacast Another week, another attempt on Trump’s life. It sounds crazy, but a substantial percentage of polled Democrats aren’t troubled by the fact that there have been two assassination attempts on former President Trump.
