We're back this week with a full episode covering the way the COVID-19 crisis' domination of media has obscured two huge stories of alleged political misconduct: the allegations against Joe Biden by Alexandra Tara Reade, and the suspected insider trading conducted by Senators Richard Burr and Kelly Loeffler. CW: sexual violence against women.

Unfortunately due to coronavirus chaos, our hosts weren't able to get together and record an episode of No Fugazi this week. Thankfully Nina has no life, so she was able to step in and provide us with this short update on how the coronavirus relief fight is going - no spoilers but Trump is no populist and we're probably all going to die.

Nick and Nina sit down to talk about how the Democrats have managed to turn the coronavirus outbreak from Trump's fatal flaw into the reason why he'll be reelected.

This podcast has had a lot of talk about "Culture Wars," but, what are Culture Wars? How did they start? Who fights them? Are they Fugazi? So for this special, extended episode, Nina and Nick give you the history of American political parties pushing so-called "wedge issues" to contest elections without challenging the prevailing orthodoxies in economics and foreign policy.

On today's episode, Nick goes all the way in on a bizarre Super Bowl pre-game vignette featuring Martha Ford reading the Declaration of Independence. We are not making that up. Listen and learn why the NFL plays their championship game through the lens of a Paul Verhoeven dytopian Fascist vision. And bonus content where Nina asks, if the US were in the Middle East, would the US describe it as a failed state?

Nina apologizes if her sore throat distorted the audio slightly.

Today we deconstruct the fact-checking industry and its progression from double-checking Bush flunkies to its current role, picking arguments with leftists on behalf of right-wing think tanks. And then, special bonus topic: going apeshit about Iowa.

In our first regular episode, Nina calls her shot for the 2020 election and goes in on the most fugazi of constituencies: the mythical Never Trump Conservatives. Find out why this class of professional Republicans has been so committed to selecting the Democratic nominee for President, and why their attacks have been so ineffective against Bernie Sanders.
