Hello and welcome to the Slate Political Gap Fest for March 30, 2017,

the Darkness at Nunez Edition on David Plotts of Atlas of Stura.

Emily Bazlon of The New York Times Magazine is New Haven. Hi, Emily. Hello.

New Haven. New Haven. Any one of the all three of those places. John Dickerson is, I don't know

where he is. I think it's Spring Break or something. He's gotten a day off. They've released him

on work release. He's probably working somewhere. So we don't have John today, but that's okay

because we have Jamel Bowie Slates Chief Political correspondent here in DC with me. Hello, Jamel.

Hello. On this week's Gap Fest, Devon Nunez is he a useful idiot, an American patriot, an

actual villain. We'll talk about the bizarre collapse of the House Intelligence Committee and

the investigation into Donald Trump's campaign ties to Russia. Then we'll Democrats overplay

their hand after the abject collapse of Trump care. And then why are so many people on the right so

obsessed with coal? And we'll talk about Donald Trump's new climate plan, such as it is,

his plan to make the climate worse. Plus we'll have cocktail chatter. And for Slate Plus,

we're going back and forth, but I'm making a game time decision. We're going to talk about

lack gate. Is it okay to breastfeed someone else's child? We'll determine that once and for all.

If you're not at a Slate Plus member, go to slate.com slash Gap Fest Plus. Also, on Wednesday,

May 10th, of course, we have a live show here at the Warner Theater in Washington, DC. Slate.com

slash live for tickets. And we have a special guest who is going to join us. Evan McMullen,

the conservative presidential candidate, the Utah and the former intelligence official,

who's been saying such interesting provocative and eloquent things about the new president

is going to be our guest for that show. We're really excited that Evan is coming. So join us.
