Summary

The Hacks are back this week with a live edition before students at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics. We talk all the latest— First, John Bolton’s new book coincidentally coincides with his willingness to testify before the Senate. If he is indeed called as a witness, how much will it matter – if at all? Trump defense lawyer Pam Bondi aims her case squarely at the Bidens and Burisma – is Burisma the new Benghazi? Biden, Sanders, Warren, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar vie for the lead in Iowa. With three of the five frontrunners trapped in jury duty, how will the final results take shape? Plus, the Hacks review the latest ads from all five top contenders, sharing their views on how the ad wars could impact each candidate’s position in the race. We take live mail bag questions from students at the University of Chicago, who wonder if there’s room for both Sanders and Warren to split the lead in Iowa. Our Last Call this week takes a closer look at a newly-minted Amy Klobuchar ad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices.
