From WNYC in New York, this is on the media. I'm Bob Garfield. And I'm Brooke Gladstone. In an ordinary

election year, this might be the point at which we see candidates defending their tax plan,

our foreign policy vision. But of course, this is 2016, so instead, this is happening. Feats of strength,

Hillary Clinton opens a pickle jar to try to quash the latest campaign conspiracy theories.

I mean, I really do.

This is a man who has more sociopathic tendencies than any candidate in my adult life.
