Hi, I'm Andy Levy, former Fox News and CNN-HLN guy and current cable news conscientious objector.

I'm a former libertarian who now sits pretty comfortably on the left.

Hi, I'm Danielle Moody, former educator and recovering lobbyist.

But today, I'm an unapologetic, woke commentator on America's threats to democracy.

And I'm producer Jesse Cannon, and I'm here to make sure things don't go too far off the rails.

We're here to have fun, smart conversations with some of the most knowledgeable and entertaining people

in politics, media, and beyond.

Our goal is to try and make sense of our current crazy world, our new abnormal, and hopefully

even make you laugh through the tears.

What a great show we have for you today.

Melissa Drew Grant, journalist, author, and senior editor at the New Republic,

joins us to discuss the Lake and Riley Act,

a harsher immigration bill that could jail undocumented immigrants for minor arrests,

even without charges.

But before we get to that, we're going to have a live reaction to Donald Trump's inauguration.

But first, let's have some fun. Danielle, and to our listeners, I actually have some good news.

From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world.

Also, we will be the envy of every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer.

That, of course, was how Donald Trump started his inaugural address.

And I'm going to be honest.

I watched as much as I could of it until I couldn't take it anymore.

And then, because I'm a professional, I kept watching.
