Added 2021-12-17 05:32:53 +0000 UTCToday's show breaks down President Biden's pivot from passing the Build Back Better Act to passing the Joe Manchin-cosponsored Freedom to Vote Act, S. 2747. What's in the bill? Is it Manchin'ed? Listen and find out!
In the "B" segment, Andrew points and laughs at insurrection John C. Eastman's doomed attempt to prevent Verizon from turning over his phone records to the 1/6 Commission.. It's funny because they're all dumb.
Finally, we have a very brief update on the Activision lawsuit you won't want to miss.

You can't safely pick off mold from bread. Both are inedible and will get you sick.

It's like the difference between a loaf of moldy bread that you can still pick off the mold and eat versus a plate of horse shit. Like the plate of shit is much worse, but it's not like the moldy bread is good.
