9/25 Stealing the Election By The Book & McConnell’s Pursuit Of The Courts w/ Alex Pareene & David Feldman

September 25, 2020

Sam hosts Alex Pareene (@pareene) of the New Republic and comedian David Feldman (@David_Feldman_) to discuss the biggest stories of the week including Mitch McConnell’s relentless pursuit of the American judiciary.

On today’s show: Trump booed at RBG remembrance at SCOTUS.

Alex Pareene (@pareene) of the New Republic joins Sam to discuss the week’s biggest stories, including: Mitch McConnell and the GOP’s relentless — and potentially unstoppable — quest to capture the judicial branch for decades to come. The technically legal methods Trump and the GOP will use to steal the election. The Democratic Party’s uneasy relationship with its base.

Comedian David Feldman (@David_Feldman_) joins Sam to discuss what campaign strategy the Democrats should pursue: promise nothing and don’t spook the voters. Everyone just needs to chill out, all right?

On the fun half: Trump says political forces want to hold back the vaccine as a “political hit.” Trump again tells story when journalist Ali Velshi was hit with tear gas cannister. Rick Scott struggles through speech about how left is destroying American values. Florida AG shares office’s plan to investigate Bloomberg’s efforts to pay formerly incarcerated residents poll tax fees. Greg Gutfeld says felons shouldn’t be allowed to vote because they’re irredemable and stupid. Ben Shapiro defends Trump’s transition of power comments, Trump never thinks about the questions asked of him. Plus, your calls and IMs!
