Today we discuss, among other topic the growing holy war between the Pence and Pete Buttigieg. Buttigieg, who is openly-gay and married to a man, has publicly challenged Mike Pence's obsession with sex and Pence's hypocrisy in being, as Mayor Pete calls it, "the cheerleader for the porn-star presidency." Well, Mother (aka Mrs. Pence) is not amused, and struck back at Buttigieg yesterday, accusing him of being intolerant of her intolerance.

We also delve into Bernie Sanders' taxes, why it took four years for him to release them, and the hypocrisy of Sanders supporters, like the Intercept, forgiving Sanders' refusal to release his returns while pillorying Donald Trump for doing the same.

Next up, we talk about the Republicans yet again trying to demonize Maxine Waters, this time for daring to hold a hearing with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who apparently wanted to be having cocktails with foreign dignitaries instead.

And we also talk about the GOP's ongoing effort to turn the Mueller probe, and Trump's un-American behavior, to their advantage.
