After a week off, we’re back and putting our best foot forward with guests Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) and our good friend and podcaster Professor Richard Epstein. The Senator talks to us about Iran, Guantanamo, and his controversial “endorsement” of Bernie Sanders. Speaking of Sanders, our hosts explain why they admire him and wish Republicans would emulate him. Yes, you read that right. Later, Richard Epstein stops by to explain why Ted Cruz can run for President despite being born in Canada and the surprising chances the gives that a certain Democratic Presidential candidate gets indicted. Finally, a long time ago in a far away place (Switzerland), Peter Robinson had dinner with David Bowie. Yes, you read that right too.
