Should Biden pardon Trump? A discussion with guest Greg Pinelo.

Chicago Tribune humor columnist Rex Huppke joins us again for a hilarious discussion about death, corruption and economic decay.

Uber-conservative former GOP congressman Joe Walsh on whether there's anything disgruntled Republicans can do to save the GOP, and the rest of us from them.

Election forecaster Rachel Bitecofer is back to talk about the latest polling for the 2020 elections.

Joe Biden is besting Trump in the latest polls, even though Trump is getting way more TV time. The crisis has not been kind to the great orange one.

Trump thinks bleach can cure the Coronavirus. He's kind of an idiot. It can't.

Today's episode is about the Republican/Fox News effort to re-open the states before they're ready, pretty much guaranteeing a lot more people are going to get sick.

Chicago Tribune humor writer Rex Huppke joins us for a long discussion about everything and nothing.

Gun control advocate Cliff Schecter ("The Real McCain," Daily Beast) and LGBT leader John Aravosis (The Economist, UN, CDF, AMERICAblog) give you an unfiltered and humorous insider's look at the latest political news from a decidedly anti-Trump perspective.

Today we discuss, among other topic the growing holy war between the Pence and Pete Buttigieg. Buttigieg, who is openly-gay and married to a man, has publicly challenged Mike Pence's obsession with sex and Pence's hypocrisy in being, as Mayor Pete calls it, "the cheerleader for the porn-star presidency." Well, Mother (aka Mrs. Pence) is not amused, and struck back at Buttigieg yesterday, accusing him of being intolerant of her intolerance. We also delve into Bernie Sanders' taxes, why it took four years for him to release them, and the hypocrisy of Sanders supporters, like the Intercept, forgiving Sanders' refusal to release his returns while pillorying Donald Trump for doing the same. Next up, we talk about the Republicans yet again trying to demonize Maxine Waters, this time for daring to hold a hearing with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who apparently wanted to be having cocktails with foreign dignitaries instead. And we also talk about the GOP's ongoing effort to turn the Mueller probe, and Trump's un-American behavior, to their advantage. This is 12-minute snippet of the hour-and-9-minute episode.

In today's episode: - Cliff and I talk about the ridiculous slap on the wrist that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort got for massive tax fraud. - That anti-Semitism resolution and the ongoing debate over Rep. Omar and the GOP's ability to blow things up that they're actually guilty of. - Joe Biden's comments on desegregation from 1975, and when we should and shouldn't care what someone said or did decades ago if they're good now on the issues we care about. - And finally, increasing concerns that Trump won't leave office in 2020 even if loses.

I realized this morning that I know Mira Ricardel, the woman Melania Trump is trying to get fired from the National Security Council. Mira Ricardel (then-Baratta) and I worked together in the US Senate in the late 1980s and early 1990s when we both handled arms control issues, she for Bob Dole and me for Ted Stevens. I wanted to talk a bit about my memory of Mira -- she wasn't terribly nice back then either -- but also about an incident that happened to her when we were on my first arms control congressional delegation (codel) in December of 1989, when a top US embassy official openly discriminated against Mira for being a woman. All of this colors my views of Mira today. Hope you'll find it interesting. You can subscribe to our podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/UnPresidentedPodcast?

One day left to the midterm elections, and Cliff and I walk you through the latest polls. In a nutshell, the Democrats still 'should' win back the House, while the Senate 'should' remain in GOP hands. But turnout can change everything.

Four days away from the midterm elections we provide lots of election updates, and talk a bit about Trump's racist new Willy-Horton-style anti-immigrant ad that, of course, blames Democrats for something Republicans actually did.

Never-Trumper, and former-Republican, Max Boot talks to us about his new book, "The Corrosion of Conservatism: Why I Left the Right." Max, a former conservative Republican who is now pro-choice, pro-LGBT, pro-environment, pro-immigration, and pro- gun control, talks to us about what Trump has done to the Republican party, what the Republican party let happen to itself, and why Democrats must win the midterm elections on November 6, 2018.
