Brad is first joined by Paul Lisnek, legal and political analyst for WGN-TV in Chicago, to talk crime, punishment and campaign 2024. 
This includes how Trump's conviction in the New York election interference case will affect the presidential race.
They also discuss a new secret recording of Justice Alito rejecting compromise and saying that one political party will 'win.'

Then Tara Devlin, the host of the Tarabuster podcast, exposes the GOP's flirtation with Fascism.
She also explains the many problems with the way that most of the U.S. media covers news and politics these days.
Finally, Tara and Brad discuss the growing number of gifts that conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has received, but did not claim on the disclosure forms for his job, as well as what the reaction would be if this had been a liberal Justice.
