Summary

Sami and Alise are back breaking down all the news of the week, starting with an important update about Betsy DeVos' yacht (it is adrift at sea), and what Melania Trump watches on TV (CNN). Then they dive into the the Michael Cohen tape, which basically proves Trump is a mob boss. Finally, they introduce a new segment called "Who's The Biggest A-hole in Congress" where they talk about Reps. Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan, the a-holes behind the latest attempt to impeach Rod Rosenstein. Stick around for an uplifting interview with Shaneice Simmons, the Associate Director of Civic Engagement at Rock The Vote, on how you can get registered and get involved.
