John talks about a mixed bag of Trump absurdities: congressional republicans are following his orders and ignoring the government shutdown, Trump boasting about his recent MRI and mental fitness, and Trump telegraphing his proposed military actions against Venezuela. Are narcoterrorists the new WMD's? Then, Professor Corey Brettschneider returns to discuss the legality of a president's emergency powers and the government's slow, steady dissection of America's basic civil liberties. Then winding it up, comedian Rhonda Hansome joins John to talk about current news and answer questions from listeners on how to cope in MAGAland.
