It's hard to read the news these days without asking yourself, how did we get here?

Fiasco is a history podcast for the co-creators of Slow Burn.

In our first season, Bush v. Gore, we examine an unmistakable turning point in American politics,

the 2000 election, which resulted in a high-stakes stalemate, ended with one of the most controversial rulings in Supreme Court history.

So if you're trying to make sense at the present moment, check out Fiasco, Bush v. Gore. Listen on the IHeart

Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. You can't catch me. Oh, wait, I guess you

can. It's one more thing. Armstrong and Getty. One more thing.

So, protesters ran out on the field of Monday night football.

We'll talk about what they were protesting and all that sort of stuff and a little background

on that in a second.

But here's what the call sounded like during the game.

And here comes a stoppage and play because someone has run on the field with a smoke bomb that is pink and he's running up the sideline.

Now a couple of Rams come over there and make the tackle head first into the player who has taken the field.

And he's in a cloud of pink smoke so you can't see him and now

on him are a couple of security guards that guy is headed to the slammer and it will not be a good

night head into the slammer so the manning's oh wait a minute wait a minute wait minute. If I attacked an old woman with a screwdriver on the streets of San Francisco, I probably

wouldn't be headed for the slammer.

Nope.

They would fill out some forms and turn me right back on the street.

If I had a gun, it might take another 10 minutes.

What?

Under the old DA, that's right.
