Several proceedings are in front of us that are defining who we are: yes, Trump's unsuccessful attempt to keep his January 6th documents protected, but also the trial of our economy and whether inflation will hover and be painful to recovery. Plus: a beat on the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse.

Chris applies the concept of sabotage to several situations we find ourselves in right now: the January 6th Select Committee continuing to issue subpoenas as the DOJ has not yet sorted what to do about Steve Bannon's non-compliance. And whether Karen Tumulty is right that the Progressive Dems should be thanking moderates for slowing down Build Back Better. Plus: A beat on the tragedy at the Astroworld Festival.

Chris is back at it and ready to dig into what is in the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and a reminder to not take your eye off of Facebook and social media accountability. Plus: Losing a hero in Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers.

Chris kicks the tires on whether Dems will and can work immigration reform into the reconciliation bill. And a beat on inflation concerns. Plus: the 'Rust' film set shooting: Chris has an easy fix to keep this from happening again.

Chris doesn't want to debate the problems, he wants to figure out the solutions to them. Applied today to the reconciliation framework, the Great Resignation, and the Facebook Papers. And a beat on voting rights as THE hill to die on for Dems.

Chris submits that the reconciliation is gonna get done. But will voting rights? And another thing- once the vaccine is approved for 5-11 year olds, will parents get their kids the shot?

Chris breaks down Trump's delay tactic in suing the National Archives and a deeper dive on Joe Manchin's position of opposition on climate and the Clean Electricity Program. Plus: Protecting the immuno-compromised among us.

Chris remembers the exemplary life and legacy of General Colin Powell. And Another thing: Is Biden doing enough on voting rights?

Chris looks at how it takes cooperation to make pretty much anything happen, and the lack of any such keeps us stymied from progress. As applied to: vaccine mandates vs liberty, Build Back Better infighting, supply chain breakdowns. What are your priorities?

Chris applies the lens of our 'standards' to look at what we allow and when we say 'enough': with COVID and kids; with John Gruden's resignation; with former President Trump and Ashli Babbitt; with comedian Dave Chappelle and with our politics.
