In this episode, Alex is happy that Kevin McCarthy defended Ukraine during a press conference in Ukraine. This tells Alex that there is some hope. Next, Alex looks at how CNN will be holding a town hall with Donald Trump next week. It seems like the media did not learn from past failures and is willing to give Trump airtime. Alex worries that it is looking like 2016 all over again. Normalizing Trump is dangerous and it will help him. Finally, Alex rants about Governor Greg Abbott’s vile comments after a tragedy in which a family of five was shot outside their home in Texas. Abbott focused on the immigration status of the victims in a vile attempt to inject politics into the tragedy.
