Hi, I'm Andy Levy, former Fox News and CNN-HLN guy and current cable news conscientious objector.

I'm a former libertarian who now sits pretty comfortably on the left.

Hi, I'm Danielle Moody, former educator and recovering lobbyist.

But today, I'm an unapologetic, woke commentator on America's threats to democracy.

And I'm producer Jesse Cannon, and I'm here to make sure things don't go too far off the rails. We're here to have fun, smart conversations with some of

the most knowledgeable and entertaining people in politics, media, and beyond. Our goal is to try

and make sense of our current crazy world, our new abnormal, and hopefully even make you laugh

through the tears. Hello and welcome to another Sunday bonus edition of the new abnormal.

He gifted a cyber truck wrapped in Trump's post-assassination attempt to Trump that he

couldn't take because it would be an FEC violation. And even Mr. Trump said that's a little much for me,

Chief. He did the handy dance, as we're calling it, with Mr. Trump at one point, you know, the one

where he's kind of given a handy. Yeah. Oh, dear God.

I knew what you mentioned.
