Chris Van Hollen reports we're all paying for Garcia to remain in El Salvador prison. Sebastian Gorka threatens political enemies of Donald Trump. Lisa Murkowski is afraid of retribution. Elon Musk is building a creepy harem of birthing wives. Heroes of Democracy. Grim economic outlook from Fed chair Jerome Powell.

Cliff Schecter Day

Cliff and Bob worked together on political ads and blogging for nearly 20 years. He was also Bob's Tuesday co-host for a couple of Scaramuccis earlier this year. He runs an extremely popular Substack – blueamp.co. And make sure to follow his YouTube channel called Cliff's Edge. Today we talked about the breaking news from Judge Boasberg's court, the bombshell Wall Street Journal story about Elon Musk's harem, whether Donald will be held accountable for the array of daily atrocities, and more.

Measured, Gracious, and Self-Aware

Happy Tax Day! Donald and Bukele insist there's no way to return Abrego Kilmar Garcia. The art of the deal. Debunking the lie that Garcia is a member of MS13. Stephen Miller says the White House won in the Supreme Court. Heroes of Democracy: Chris Van Hollen. Donald threatens to send American citizens to El Salvador concentration camp. Sucker Bill Maher falls for the most obvious con-man in the world. Talking to political enemies is not the same as shilling for their character.

I love Bob but I’m having a hard time listening when his co hosts/guests seem to derail his show and the topic he is discussing. I love when Bob has Cliff and other guests who actually discuss the topic/s on his mind. Otherwise they’re a distraction and I’m not interested. Maybe find some new, serious and funny co-hosts? The others can start their own pod that discuss the people they know and their self promoting. America needs more Bob and less Bravo convo!
AWESOME show!
