First, GOP Congressman Devin Nunes quitting Congress in a matter of weeks, in order to become the CEO of Trump's new social media company. Cliff and I are skeptical as to why Nunes is doing this.

Having said that, the first 20 minutes of the show somehow became a long, but interesting, discussion about the origins of World War II. You know how we get.

UnPresidented: Creating change that empowers the ResistanceTrump was planning a coup, top military leader fearedToday's big story is that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley -- America's top career military official -- so feared that Donald Trump was preparing a military coup that he reached out to other military leaders in an effort to thwart it. A just unbelievable, yet all too believable, story from a new book by two senior Washington Post reporters. Cliff and I talk today about why this story matters, why it's not just a case of "we already knew that," and what this means going forward for those of us who care about this country...

UnPresidented: Creating change that empowers the ResistanceIs Biden being too bipartisan?In today's episode, the big issue is whether President Biden is being too bipartisan by asking former conservative Republican anti-Trump Senator Jeff Flake to be his ambassador to Turkey. Cliff and I think there's both a philosophical and Machiavellian reason for Biden to choose Flake, so we're on board. We also talk about everyone's favorite Supreme Court jester Brett Kavanaugh, and Trump's recent comments blasting him. Then on to Texas, where Democrats continue to thwart a GOP effort to pass new Jim Crow laws in that state. Next up, Dan Crenshaw has suddenly discovered that the Civil War was bad...

From that, we move to the Arizona presidential election "recount," where even GOP officials have had enough of the Trumpers' games. We also get into how Trump and his minions, including that Women for Trump lady, have upped their rhetoric about the election having been stolen -- even for them, the new rhetoric is bad.

This isn't just about the GOP being upset that Cheney was mean to Trump. When you look at this move, alongside the increased noise we're hearing from Republicans defending the Insurrection, the Jim Crow 2.0 laws that GOP is passing in the states, and the fact that Republicans are currently favored to win the House back in 2022, it's clear that Republicans are preparing to steal the 2022 congressional and 2024 presidential elections, and...

We also get into the topic of why so many people aren't getting their second Covid vaccine, and why we think their reason is pretty bogus. Oh yeah, we also talk about how the media is lying about Biden's approval rating, trying to make some really good numbers sound bad.
