Summary

Max Burns guest hosts while John is performing on stage promoting his new book "Separation of Church and Hate". He talks about former FBI Director James Comey who was indicted by the DOJ for allegedly lying to congress in a 2020 hearing. The indictment was rushed through the Justice Department a few days before the statute of limitations expired. Then, Max speaks with Jaime Harrison who is a distinguished leader with over two decades of experience in politics, government, strategic communications, and organizational management. As Chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), he played a key role in reshaping public discourse, rebuilding the Democratic Party’s infrastructure. Next, he interviews Peter Rothpletz who is currently the morning newsletter chief for Mehdi Hasan’s incisive and fast-growing Zeteo media group. They discuss how the media is shaping the future. And finally, Max takes calls from listeners about current news and trending topics.
