Ken and Rick have decidedly differing views on how AG Merrick Garland has handled the Trump investigation.  We debate.  We also explore how Evangelical Christians have destroyed their credibility with their slavish devotion to Trump. Lawrence O'Donnell had a monologue for the ages this past week in anticipation of the trial starting in Manhattan, while Trump's attorneys show just how competent they are.  All this and more...

Last week, we explored the great American Tradition of Pitch Men, and made the argument that Trump is the greatest of all time.  His grift has gotten him to the highest office in the land and convinced 70 million of our fellow voters to be convinced that he's the one to save us.  Well, in this episode, we feature one more that certainly should have been included last week.  Alex Jones.

Dating back 200 years or more, with the 'Snake Oil Salesmen', and others hawking their wares door-to-door or at County Fairs or boardwalks, America enjoys a long tradition of pitch men.  We explore some of the best in the past 40 years or so, and ask where the line is between pitch men and grifter.  There is no doubt that there is one who stands out as the best in history.

In a wild several days including Trump obtaining both another delay in one case, and a three week warning before a Jury is set to be seated in another...we share some of the Elon Musk interview with Don Lemon that ultimately got Lemon fired on his first day on the job at the app formerly known as Twitter.  Was it the questions about Musk's tolerance of Nazi's and white nationalists?  Or perhaps it was the challenges to Musk's assertions that the old Twitter was a bastion for leftists.  Or maybe the pressure that Lemon offered on Musk's use of Ketamine.  We discuss.

There is no disputing that America is at a place that we've not been since the 1860's.  We really are two separate nations.  Our differences appear to be irreconcilable. Therefore, instead of taking up arms and killing our fellow citizens over politics and whether we should convert from a Democratic Republic to an Authoritarian form of government, why not negotiate a civil separation and create the Red States of America and the Blue States of America?  Each state can hold referendums on which side they'd like to align themselves with.  We can negotiate all of the various aspects of future cooperation and revenue agreements among the two new countries, elect respective head's of state, representatives and such.  Each state could enact it's own border policies, taxation policies and welfare policies.  Interstate travel would be negotiated, civil liberties would have to be agreed to in advance, but Blue States would be responsible for their affairs, and likewise for the Red States.  A joint defense pact would be negotiated as well.  This way, we can avoid the obvious bloodshed that would arise if we do it the old fashioned way.  We discuss this and much more.

Big week.  MAGA finally ran out the clock on Nikki Haley with the Super Tuesday results. President Biden blew away the low expectations set by both left and right by delivering a forceful State of the Union address, Eric Swalwell schools MAGA members of congress on the border bill, and Marjorie Taylor Greene told a foreign journalist to fuck off when asked about Jewish space lasers.  Just another week.

The election of 2024, and quite probably the future of American democracy comes down to a battle between two grandpas.  One, a kindly and beloved man with a loving family and a history of kindness and caring, and the other a career con man who has cheated and lied his way through life, and is threatening to end our system of government.  We discuss.

This week, psychologist Dr John Gartner, formerly of Johns Hopkins University Medical School, sounded the alarm...on Donald Trump.  Trump's slurring and inability to sometimes formulate complete sentences appears to be a sign of growing dementia and possible early stages of Alzheimer's.  He asserts that Trump is becoming more dangerous by the day. "This is a tale of two brains. Biden's brain is aging. Trump's brain is dementing," he says.  "He just becomes incomprehensible when he engages in free association word salad speech that is all over the place. Again, that's a sign of real brain damage, not being old, not being slow, not losing a step not being, but of severe cognitive deterioration." "What I don’t understand is why those clips aren’t replayed over and over in the mainstream media. Isn’t Trump babbling incoherently the most newsworthy part of his rally? You can be sure it would be if it were Biden."
 

Don't believe him?  We provide ample evidence via those clips in this episode from just one of Donald Trump's speeches this past week.  You decide.

Aside from another mass shooting at a Super Bowl celebration, a massive, multi-hundreds of millions of dollars judgement against Trump and his spawn, the assassination of the leading opposition figure in Russia by Putin a month before the elections there...did anything of interest happen this week?

Ken has a unique look at what Joe Biden is going through at 81 years old.  He can relate he says.  We discuss.  Also, we focus on how this election is going to have to be conducted in order to keep Trump out of the White House again. And it isn't going to be pretty.  Time to get dirty.
