Summary
To debate or not debate? That is the question for Donald Trump's campaign, with the GOP primary field bigger than ever even as Trump's polling lead grows larger and larger. Raheem Kassam joins the show to make the case for Trump sitting things out, while Charlie brings up the arguments in favor of Trump confronting his rivals directly. Plus, country star John Rich reacts to rumors that Jamie Foxx has suffered serious health issues due to an unwanted Covid vaccination, and speaks up for countless other Americans who have been harmed by Pfizer shots and left without legal recourse by Congress.
