Summary
Michigan and Wayne County have repeatedly been targeted in Trump’s attempts to overturn the election results. In particular, he and his supporters have singled out Detroit, a heavily Democratic, majority-Black city. We talk to Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib about that effort. Plus, we get her take on what’s next for House Democrats and what she’d like to see from the Biden administration.
And in headlines: what happens when the Pope likes posts, no more politics in Animal Crossing, and Rudy Giuliani melts. Plus, we’re joined by writer and comedian Demi Adejuyigbe.

| 0:00.0 | It's Friday, November 20th. I'm Achilles Hughes. |
| 0:08.7 | And I'm Gideon Resset and this is what a day where we are preparing to eat our favorite |
| 0:12.3 | Thanksgiving dish, whole cans of delicious cranberry sauce. |
| 0:15.5 | Yeah, not the ones with the actual cranberries in it. I want Jello-esque cranberry sauce that |
| 0:20.9 | literally is a can. Yeah, if it doesn't bounce off the ground, then it doesn't count. |
| 0:26.1 | Yeah, what is that? On today's show, a conversation with Congresswoman |
| 0:36.2 | resheated to leave about the election and what comes next, then some headlines. |
| 0:40.4 | But first, a quick announcement. We're going to be taking a short break all next week for Thanksgiving. |
| 0:45.2 | So in the meantime, our friends at PODSEF America and PODSEF the world will be putting out |
| 0:49.2 | episodes. So definitely head over there if you're in need of some political sanity. |
| 0:53.2 | And we'll be right back in your feeds on Monday, November 30th. |
| 0:56.6 | Yeah, before you know it, hope you can all take a break as well and be safe without making |
| 1:01.0 | your family sad as a tough task. But back to today's show. In the aftermath of the election, |

| 1:11.4 | has dramatically failed at every turn. Today, he is reportedly set to meet with top Republican |
| 1:16.5 | state legislators from Michigan who he invited to the White House. I guess Trump wanted to concede |
| 1:22.4 | in person. Just he reportedly wants them to put in electors that will vote for him because, of course, |
| 1:28.3 | both lawmakers have said previously that the person with the most votes in their state will be |
| 1:32.4 | certified the winner. That person is President-elect Joe Biden and the certification deadline is next |
| 1:37.9 | Monday. So we will have to see. And this comes after an episode in Wayne County that we talked about |
| 1:43.2 | on yesterday's show where Republican members on the canvassing board initially voted against |
