They then discuss the reports of a leaked audio tape that seems to implicate Donald Trump in the Jack Smith led investigation of Top Secret documents. They finish the episode off by analyzing the conservative boycott of Target and how climate change is causing insurance companies to falter or stop offering insurance altogether.
