Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the unanimous decision by SCOTUS to keep Donald Trump on the ballot on Colorado. They pivot to Super Tuesday and how Trump will most likely sweep, sending Nikki Haley out of the race altogether. This leads to some analysis on the latest New York Times poll that indicates Joe Biden needs to get a lot more active in a hurry.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman provide crucial historical context to why Trump's NATO statements this weekend are damaging to the world order. What makes it all worse is that Republicans are full-throatedly supporting his position. Trump then throws some casual misoginy Nikki Haley's way, as he always does, which normalizes this behavior. They finish up by examining Joe Biden's personal twitter feed and how it inflames the conspiracy cultists out there rather than win points among his supporters.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman had to talk about the latest news of a 32 year old man in Pennsylvania who not only killed his father by beheading him, but live streamed it to the world, all because his father worked for the federal government. Add to this the news that a caravan of American citizens are driving down to the border to make some sort of statement about the immigration crisis at the border, and we're moving towards a real crisis. They finish the show with a breakdown of the latest David Brooks article in The Atlantic that purports to take the temperature of the country and gets things amazingly wrong.
