Summary

We weren't having a "recession," we were having (we were told) a "vibes-session." Mike wishes we weren't told that. It added nothing. Plus, a looming January 6th indictment for Donald Trump thrusts some hard choices onto Republican candidates who don't know how to be bold enough to win. And the return of David Grann, author of The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder.

0:40.7

Would we be able to ask?

0:41.9

Is he fit to serve?

0:43.2

Absent in indictment, relying only on Trump's ten-year words and other non-looming, but quite

present indictments, privately, this is the subhead of the Politico article, privately.

0:54.7

The fear is that a third indictment, even if it's the most serious one yet, will once
