This week, as Andrew and Tristan Tate face extradition to the UK, we discuss their ties to the Trump family, and the political headache this might cause the President.
Plus, JD Vance has a baby, the price of gas soars, and new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham is winning points with the President.
Joining me this week is Dr. Emma Long, an Associate Professor in American History and Politics at the University of East Anglia, though currently reporting from Heidelberg, Germany.
