Summary

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss what Donald Trump is already putting into place, including Tom Holman as border czar (family separation will be a feature, not a bug), while mainstream media are all pledging to normalize Trump even more than they had been doing. The desperation from the Democrats is palpable, going so far as to suggest that Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor retire right now. To support the show and gain access to the Weekender episode on Friday, as well as live shows and exclusive analysis, head over to Patreon and become a patron.
