Summary

On the Gist, how do 39% of registered voters "approve" of Trump's performance? 39%; really? In the interview, Mike is joined by Stan Barnes to talk all things Arizona. Arizona just gave its two Senate seats to Democrats in a shocking upset for the long-time red state. Barnes is a former Republican state senator turned party consultant for the Copper State. He talks to Mike about the impact of Wednesday's Capitol chaos on the Republican party and how there's no "putting Humpty Dumpty back together again." And, today in Remembrances of Things Trump, the people who left the Trump administration before it became en vogue. In the spiel, a slew of resignations following the chaos.

the Sabbath, and we all need a bit of a break right now. Well, not all, out of curiosity,

I check the president's approval rating. So the capital was stormed Wednesday afternoon,

0:58.8

the day of and the day after that assault, morning consult conducted polling as they do,

1:06.8

and the question was, do you approve of the job the president is doing? They gave them

1:11.8
