Maurice just woke up from a nap and Amanda forgot to do the pre-show notes. Still, the podcast soldiers on with a LIVE pre-show that includes the hosts’ controversial opinions on national anthems, public school starting hours, and possibly Canada. But we get into some real news content: The Inflation Reduction Act that isn’t, Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan that almost wasn’t, and a semi-automatic weapon ban that Maurice just can’t even begin to can. Plus, Maurice revisits his views on voting and explains how they’ve evolved.
