Description
The MeidasTouch brothers kick off the show with a brand new segment called “Please excuse my racism, I have ______,” where they recount the latest and craziest excuses people have made for their hateful remarks and actions. The brothers then talk about the horrific mass shooting that took place in Atlanta and the rise of anti-Asian hate in American. The brothers then shift to the current topics in Congress, discussing the passing of the Violence Against Women Act and the bill to honor the Capitol Police, both of which faced opposition from the GQP. Next, the brothers welcome Playboy White House Reporter, CNN Political Analyst, and host of the Just Ask the Question Podcast Brian Karem to the show to discuss his riveting tales of being arrested for protecting sources, driving around minefields in Kuwait, being the first to go to Pablo Escobar’s palatial prison and his contentious relationship with the Trump White House. Later, the brothers discuss Mitch McConnell’s threat of a “scorched earth” Senate.
