Summary
Trump may have quit the Screen Actors Guild, but his presence in the GOP looms large as ally Marjorie Taylor Greene gets party support. Emily, Jon and Anthony discuss the Congresswoman, conspiracy theories and what we can make of her apology to Congress.
Also, Republican Representative Robert Aderholt explains why he voted not to certify President Biden’s victory.
And we bring you the Americast half-time show, a performance to rival this weekend’s Super Bowl!
Studio Director: Emma Crowe Producers: Natalie Ktena, Frankie Tobi Editor: Dino Sofos
