Sarah and JVL go deep on the day everyone knew would eventually get here.

Also: Why do the anti-antis hate the Never Trumpers above all others?

Sarah and JVL talk about DeSantis losing ground while becoming the new Republican establishment.

Sarah and Bill talk about his recent trips to Europe, Ukraine, DeSantis, Kamala, focus groups and the national divorce talk.

Sonny sits in for JVL so Sarah can talk about the year’s best movies.
