January 24, 2020

Brandon Sutton (@PrettyBadLefty) and Film Guy Matthew Weiss (@langdonboom) join us.

On today’s show: Fox Business reporter explains his scoop about Obama wanting to speak out against Bernie. Medicaid block grants under Trump outsource cuts to states. The significance of Obama-to-nobody voters and the prevalence of POC in that demo. The role of race and gender rhetoric, and how those categories are connected to class.

Film Guy Matthew (@langdonboom), official MR film critic, calls in to give us an on-the-ground report from the Sundance Film Festival.

The critique that Bernie hasn’t been vetted: lol wut? What kinds of attacks could Trump use on Bernie? Warren confronted by mad dad who paid off daughter’s student loans. Dan Crenshaw says student loan forgiveness is “buying votes.” Sylvia Garcia explains how Senate Ukraine caucus supported Victor Sholkin’s removal. TUESDAY: Josh Hawley says there are no new facts presented by House impeachment managers. FRIDAY: Tim Scott: House impeachment managers have not added a single fact to the record (despite votes to do so). Rick Scott is upset he can only drink water during the impeachment trial. Rudy on Fox and Friends sounding like a Q-Anon believer. Acting ICE director says they intend to deport DACA recipients if SCOTUS rules w/ Trump.
