Today we do a deep dive into the first night of the insanity that was the Republican National Convention. Our special guest is Chicago Tribune humorist Rex Huppke. Yeah, so, it was pretty hateful all around. In addition to have a necessary laugh about just how bad it was, we also discuss whether Trump's apparent strategy to appeal to the base even makes sense. Then we end with a discussion of the latest on the Coronavirus. That's a short description for a rather long show. Hope you enjoy.
