I'm Charlie Sykes. Welcome back to the To the Contrary Podcast. Boy, it has been one of those weeks.

Barry Weiss decides to gut 60 minutes. The Trump DOJ is going after the woman that Donald Trump sexually assaulted.

Donald Trump also wants his face on the $250 bill, even though there is that law.
