Everything happened VERY quickly this week...
Former Chief Strategist Steve Bannon resigned as Executive Chairman of Breitbart and Amelia thinks she knows why (she also thinks he didn't resign). The White House bungled a statement about the President's physical and none of us picked up on it (except Rachel Maddow, of course).
Plus Haiti, El Salvador and the entire continent of Africa are sh*toles according to Trump.
And Amelia thinks a porn star named Stormy Daniels could've swung the election the other way.

Remember when Trump threatened to rain fire and fury upon North Korea? Well now American Journalist Michael Wolff has rained it down on him in his book, 'Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.’ Based on hours of interviews with Trump's senior staff, The President himself, and "Sloppy Steve" Bannon, the book paints a damning picture of the Commander in Chief (are any of us surprised?) So, what really goes on in the West Wing? What made Trump's former campaign director turn on him? And are we really supposed to believe The President's claims that he's a "very stable genius"?

How does a woman come back from 'unruliness'? Well, she doesn't. This bonus episode is an excerpt from a conversation Mia had with Buzzfeed Senior Culture Writer and PhD in Media Gossip, Anne Helen Peterson. They discuss the shrillness of Hillary, the bluster of Trump's White House, and why he's more likely to gain re-election every day.

We are almost a year into this nightmare. Is it over yet? Only by a quarter (impeachment not withstanding). As we approach the end of Trump's first calendar year in office, it's time for a Presidential stocktake. Host of Planet America and founding member of The Chaser, Chas Licciardello, joins Mia Freedman in the pod studio to talk Javanka, sexual harassment, North Korea, Scaramucci, Bannon, Alabama and some of the other things that have happened since Trump took office. What do they mean? And what will happen over the holidays?

A Democrat has beaten a President-backed accused child-molester in the race for Alabama's ruby red Senate seat. But before Roy Moore's loss, Trump used a few of his MANY spare seconds to fire off a tweet implying Senator Kirsten Gillibrand had performed sexual acts for political favours. Oh, and then there was the New York Times piece that took us even deeper into the minute-by-minute workings of the Trumpian White House. Mia and Amelia deep dive on all this and marvel at how you can run a country fueled by 12 cans of Diet Coke a day.

Of course it was Trump on the pussy grabbing tape. Despite reports that The President is now denying it, the other guy on that Access Hollywood bus, Billy Bush has exploded back into the public eye this week to insist that it was indeed Donald Trump's voice saying those vile things. Plus, a thoughtful listener question that has both Amelia and Mia intrigued, and Amelia shares a juicy snippet of information about her Facebook usage.

Christmas has officially come early. Over the weekend, Former Trump Security Adviser Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in January. That's right. Flynn has flipped. As part of a plea bargain with Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Flynn is agreeing to tell him anything and everything he wants to know. Mia and Amelia pickup the phone in a flurry to deep dive on what this means, and who's going down.

It's official. The President has decided he no longer wants the infamous Access Hollywood (pussy grabbing) tape to be a thing, so he's branded it 'Fake News'. Also, Time magazine phoned and asked Trump whether he'd like to be their Person Of The Year for 2017, which is all good and well except for the fact no one can verify this save Trump himself. Elsewhere, in a press conference intended to thank Native Americans for their service as codetalkers during the war, The President managed to not only belittle them, but also hurl a racial slur at Senator Elizabeth Warren. Plus, Melania's first Christmas in the White House: how does it differ from Michelle Obama's, and why can Mia and Amelia not stop laughing at the photos she's posting on Twitter?

IT'S THE PEOPLE'S SHOW. This week, we put the feelers out on our Facebook page to see if there were any topics you wanted us to delve into and the responses were overwhelming.
Rachel Corbett is filling in for Mia Freedman, and leads Amelia Lester down a Mike Pence-shaped rabbit hole as they discuss what the Vice President stands for, and whether it's true a Pence Presidency would be worse than a Trump one. Plus, what power, if any, does the NRA hold over the government and why do gun laws seem impossible to change despite all these mass shootings? And, why aren't we listening to all the women who accused Trump of sexual harassment during the campaign?
