Mikhail Gorbachev died on August 30, 2022, at the age of 91. Brandon discusses the man's life and political trajectory while making the case that Gorbachev's legacy deserves more appreciation.

And I, Topher, talk about new details in the unending drama that is former President Donald Trump versus the National Archives. Or FBI. Or Department of Justice. 

We also talk about a Ukrainian immigrant named Inna Yashchyshyn, or as Donald Trump, Senator Lindsey Graham and former Missouri governor Eric Greitens knew her, Anna de Rosthchild. She posed as a member of the famous, wealthy family in order to rub elbows with the rich and famous at glorious Mar a Lago. Was she a real estate agent? A charity president? A music promoter? A rampaging elephant? Wait, I got off track there.

Anyway, that's what's in this episode. Sorry it's late. As such, some of the news we mention may be out of date. I'm very, very sorry.
