Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter talk about the surge of Covid-19 cases and silence in times of crisis. Why do politicians sometimes avoid the spotlight in a crisis? How do you condition the public for a major announcement? Can the federal government be doing more? And - most importantly - was VanVleet really worth $85m for four years? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
