Donald Trump is not self-made, and maybe not a billionaire. New York Times investigative reporter Susanne Craig joins us to recap their explosive investigation.

Show Rundown:

Interview with Susanne Craig - A year and a half in the making, the New York Times dug through Trump empire financial records from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, and arrived at some incontrovertible truths: Donald Trump is not self made, and in fact received hundreds of millions worth of financial help from his father - some of it via what the New York Times has deemed clear tax fraud - to get where he is today. Susanne Craig, one of the writers, lays out the story in detail. You can read the original story here.

Hot Takes - Our long Kavanaugh nightmare is almost over with his confirmation all but assured. We talk about the politics that got us here, and whether it will ever get any better.

Predictions - Three college games, three NFL games.
