Summary
The corruption in the Trump administration is so shameless and so abundant that neither the media nor regular people can keep up. While Ivanka’s purchase of a private “fixer-upper” island is getting a lot of attention (aside from infuriated Albanians), the private equity deals her husband is making while supposedly negotiating Middle East peace are not. Trump himself has never had so much money—including from the top businesses paying to play—that the corrupt generational wealth he’s creating will even be around for Barron’s great-grandkids to enjoy. Dems need to start connecting the dots now. Plus, Bill Cassidy is putting his future lobbying career ahead of the American people, no one should ever count Pelosi out, and Tim says Platner is looking like a risky choice.
Stephanie Ruhle joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.

| 0:41.0 | I am great. And there's only one, there's only one, because everything else is excellent, terribly sad |

| 0:53.1 | what you're going to say. |
| 0:56.5 | It airs at the time that I tape this podcast. |
| 0:57.5 | Yes. It's going to be very challenging for us to be on air together. |
| 1:01.1 | But we're going to try to make it work. |
| 1:02.8 | We're going to make it work, especially because the show, one day a week, is going to have a live studio audience. |

| 1:13.5 | Christmas tree, it's this boy with an audience. I do need an audience. I'm aware that you tape at |
| 1:20.9 | the same time, but I have a feeling we're going to lure you to the Big Apple on those days when |
| 1:26.1 | there's an audience standing by. Talk to the producers. Find me a podcast studio and building. And I can just kind of pop, I can pop right over. We'll figure it out. We'll talk off. We're on the case. We'll figure something. We'll talk offline. Okay. There's a lot of real news. This is real news too, but there's a lot of news affecting what's happening in our country that you would think we don't start with. |
| 1:44.4 | But I'm obsessed. |
