Ballot with Patrick Gutfield - Where Politics Meets Pop Culture

We dive into the wild world of Trump's courtroom antics, where his slumbering visage is drawing comparisons to Andy Warhol's "Sleep." We'll also explore the fallout from Biden's bizarre cannibal comments, which have the White House scolding reporters for making jokes and Papua New Guinea residents setting the record straight on their sky-meal vetting process. Plus, we'll touch on the National Enquirer's role in burying Trump scandals and the former president's struggle to stay awake during his own trial. Tune in for a healthy dose of political satire that will leave you both amused and bewildered.

Come for the sass, stay for the sanity—and blame the A.I. for the jokes that don’t land.
