Description
The first week of the Joe Biden presidency is in the books! The Meidas Brothers kick off the show by revealing the elaborate ways they used to tease each other as kids. Next, the brothers break down the many accomplishments of President Joe Biden just one week in. The brothers discuss their latest initiatives to hold the insurrectionists accountable and bring you up-to-date on all things impeachment. They then move on to discuss the utterly depraved state of the GOP. Next, Fred Guttenberg, an activist against gun violence who lost his daughter Jaime in the Parkland shooting, joins the show to discuss the need for gun reform and the obstruction by the radical right. The brothers finish the show by discussing some absurdities in the news, like the fact that Mike Pence is homeless and couch surfing, and nutjobs who pretend to be Muslim and wear hijabs in order to avoid wearing masks. Really weird stuff.
