A Tsunami Coming

Episode #4

Bill and Phil are joined by Dr. Suzanne Chod to discuss a potential Democratic tsunami this November, if the Democrats should think big and look to flip states like Texas, what we should make of President Trump’s commutation of Roger Stone, and how impressed we were with Trump’s claim that he “aced” his cognitive test.
