6/26 New Covid Wave a Fox News Flu & “I’m Losing It, Bro!” w/ Digby & H. Jon Benjamin

June 26, 2020

Sam and Digby recap the week’s biggest stories with Digby of Salon and Hullabaloo include the politics behind wearing masks, the state of Trump’s 2020 campaign, and the rising positive COVID case rate across the south. Jon Benjamin joins Sam to discuss their latest t-shit collaboration, “I’m Losing It, Bro!” but the two did not consider how to split the proceeds before launching the initiative. The shirt proceeds will go to the Skid Row Housing Project. Benjamin also reveals that he “hate listens” to the Majority Report. 

And in the Fun Half: Trump can’t name a second-term policy priority, a caller’s experience with the NHS, Fox News anchors struggle to explain why Trump polls look so bad, the GOP is running on keeping confederate statues up, Covid breakouts across the south, Larry Kudlow adds another wrong prediction to his mantel, reasons to be excited about the progressive movement, and the DC statehood vote, plus your calls and IMs!
