Trevor lets kick things off by talking about all the news that we wont be talking about today, which i know sounds really weird, but thanks to donald junta trump, we dont have time to cover some of the more fun stories. For instance the Washington Post is reporting that the Prime Minister of israel Benjamin Netanyahu has been bringing suitcases full of dirty laundry with him whenever he visits the u.

Lastly, i will not be bullied. So mr. Trump is no longer here. The donald trump show is over. I will
