Welcome to the AM Update, week in review. A collection of the best moments from Aaron McIntyre's

0:08.0

morning update. All right, and now here's this. A tale of two takes on the last election emerged

0:13.6

over the weekend. Here is the All In podcast who interviewed comedian Andrew Schultz, and he

0:20.7

provided his take on what exactly happened in the

0:23.7

2024 election between Donald Trump and, let's just call it, the Democrat Party.

0:28.1

1:28.1

you want these things you don't really want that let us we've studied and we've

1:32.1
