Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss how the GOP Presidential candidates must decide whether they'll publicly announce a pardon for Donald Trump if they win the presidency, and whether Trump could come up with a plea deal if he threatens to release classified material during his trial. They analyze the bullshit burger that the Republicans are serving regarding the corruption allegations against President Joe Biden before touching on the ridiculousness of JD Vance stripping key safety measures out of his train bill and finishing up connecting the dots regarding Joe Rogan's desire to hold a debate between an expert in the field of vaccinations and a conspiracy kook who happens to be running for president.
