A five-time Emmy winning SNL comedy writer/producer, joins a four-time #1 NYT bestselling author, a three-time highest-rated national progressive radio host, a two-time Grammy winning artist, and a former US Senator. So, it gets a little crowded in the booth when Al talks public policy and sometimes political comedy with notable guests. Think “The Daily” without the resources of the NYTimes.

Pulitzer Prize Winning Historian Anne Applebaum of The Atlantic
We begin our wide-ranging conversation by discussing the attack on a Moscow concert hall last week. What are the implications of that violence? And who is behind it? Then delve into the US's failure to fund the Ukrainian effort and the resulting loss of life. Will we help them? Or will Republicans continue to enable Putin? Anne also lays out the dangers of a second Trump term. With autocracy on the rise around the world, what would it look like here in America?

Always a great Podcast
Al, if you want to know what’s going to happen in the Trump trials ask Andrew Weissmann and then plan for the opposite to happen. Nobody has been more wrong than Weissmann as to the Trump legal cases…..He also screwed up the Mueller Report. Trump has run circles around the Dems, MSNBC legal pundits, and other fools. Trump is cancer. It’s a very simple concept.
Right now the Dems are in the denial phase which will be followed by the prison rape phase…..
Dems have absolutely no idea the freight train bearing down on them. The Trump victory will destroy the the Dem Party.
Come on Al…
Can we please stop pretending that the vast majority of Gazan’s oppose Hamas. The opposite is true. They elected these animals & now they are democracy-loving innocents?
How many civilians are dying in Ukraine? How many UK children are being killed & kidnapped into Russia?
Funny, outstanding
It’s good
