January 2, 2019

The MR crew is back with a news roundup!

On today’s show: Ro Khanna explains the problem with Dems endorsing PAYGO. Call your House Rep at 202-255-3121 and tell them deficit spending is fine! Elizabeth Warren announces presidential campaign. How would she fare against Trump? Outgoing Democratic senator Joe Donnelly warns his party: When you talk “Medicare-for-all,” you “start losing the people in my state.”

On the fun half: Terry McAuliffe says free college isn’t good because rich people would get it too, but Medicare-for-all “or whatever you want to call it” needs to happen. Flashback: Hillary Clinton uses the same attack on free college. Pompeo says Brazil and US will work to bring “democracy” back to Venezuela. Mike from PA provides perspective on Warren’s strengths and weaknesses. Candace Owens claims Trump’s popular with the youth generation because he’s “punk rock.” Louie CK’s terrible stand up on kids today, gender pronouns. Plus, your calls and IMs!
