Summary

President Elect Biden’s cabinet is beginning to fill up, and James and Al have a lot to say on the subject. And if the party wants to win both seats in the Georgia Senate run-offs, they would do well to listen! Then, they are joined by Bloomberg columnist and author of Trump Nation, Tim O’Brien to give insight into the final machinations of the Trump White House and what we can expect from him going forward. Luckily there is some optimism from historian and author of The Great Influenza, John Barry, when he helps us game out the next phase of our battle against COVID.
