Summary

Happy New Year! Grab a stool, as Jim and Greg return to their normal format for 2020. Today, they're grateful that the attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad was successfully stopped and no one was hurt and they also hope there are severe repercussions for the attack's Iranian sponsors. They're happy to see Julian Castro exit the campaign trail after a campaign that was rich in pandering but never found much support. And they discuss President Trump's $102 million cash on hand and the impact that could make in the campaign.
