This week, our pal and former colleague Mollie Hemingway sits in and fortuitously, there's a ton of media stories to discuss, starting with the President's epic press conference. Later, NewsMax CEO and Presidential BFF Chris Ruddy joins to give us his insider POV of the machinations of White House staff. Then another old colleague, author and musician James Poulos stops by to discuss why he's intent on making Tocqueville great again with his new book The Art of Being Free: How Alexis de Tocqueville Can Save Us from Ourselves. Also, some thoughts on the Deep State, a phrase that has suddenly come back into the zeitgeist.

Analysis of yesterday's Trump freakshow features almost nothing of any actual substance and lots of raving about the performance art. Then we've got Mr. Robinson drooling about Trump's staggering intelligence. Such is political analysis in the age of Trump. Gag me. If you're NeverTrump...I'd skip this one.
He's at 38% now in Gallup. But at least he's entertaining, amirite?

I was NeverTrump, and I did this one. There was criticism amidst the qualified kudos.

If you're still NeverTrump (and I was) a month after the inauguration, you need to move on.

Mike Lofgren wrote a book about the Deep State vs. the Constitution, according to a thirty second Google search.
Maybe he would have a perspective on Trump suitable for use in a podcast.
