February 17, 2021

John Fetterman, Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania and candidate for United States Senate in 2022, joins Emma to talk about his fossil fuel pledge, running for Senate, whether he supports medicare for all, and more. We also discuss Rush Limbaugh’s death and Joe Biden’s town hall.

On the fun half: Sam calls in re: Rush, Biden wants biracial commercials to save us, corporations are going socialist, and your calls and IMs!
