It's becoming pretty clear that U.S. President Donald Trump is ripping up the political

playbook.

And when it comes to what it all means for Canada, well, as they say, it's complicated.

But our podcast, two blocks from the White House, is a way to make sense of it all.

Join me, Willie Lowry, and senior Washington correspondents, Paul Hunter and Katie Simpson

every week as we break down the headlines from Capitol Hill with a Canadian spin.

This is a CBC podcast. just do it do it live you know what i think i fuck it will do it it live. This is actually kind of a fitting way to sort of transition into the episode. I really want to keep this pen, so I'm going to take that away from you. Yeah, I'm not going to lose it. I just want to play with something. Not this. I'll play with my nipples. There you go. The last time we were recorded with you, I remember...

Who's you?

Actually, you brought in a bottle of aquafina and you chug the fuck out of it.

And you were talking about how you drink like, I don't know what, like 10 bottles of

these a day or something.

I'm not registering that I'm in pain or I'm not registering that, like... It's like my dad walks around with fucking chronic back pain because he's just used to, he's just like, this is my life. That's how I feel like when I take way too many mushrooms. I'm just like, this is it now. This is it forever. Yeah. So same thing with the water. I was like super dehydrated. And then we went to this, we went to this music festival in like the middle

just gonna like drink drink a bunch of water while I'm here but then you know as you do at a

festival in the middle of the woods did some drugs drugs that make you want to drink a lot of water?

The next day I woke up.
