The gang is all together on this one, as they're trying something new out, stay tuned for more info on that. More impeachment talk, this whole 'will they, won't they' story line is getting pretty tiresome. Talking about the Katie Hill scandal as no one else really seems to be. Representative Ilhan Omar is in trouble again, this time for what she wouldn't comment on, the acknowledgement of the Armenian Genocide. And our continuing segment, TrashWars.

Brian, Carin and Amy are joined by John Stiles this week, as Javier has 'trash' things to deal with. Amy's theory on coordinated attacks on former majority leaders. Lots of impeachment talk. Carin is calling Fake News on Hillary's, 'Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian Agent' comment, as she was in fact, misquoted. Mittens Romney inspires everybody to out their own secret Twitter accounts.

Brian, Amy, and Javier are joined by Lady Lawyer, Emma Greenman. Although she has no interest in representing any of them. Going over the details of Amy getting hit by a car, spoiler alert, she's just fine and getting more press then ever. So how do we feel about the US engaging in a 'passive genocide' in the Middle East? Trump's tweets keep upping the ante in terms of crazy and entertainment, and how the vernacular is perforating its way into our culture. A quick stop on the Klobo-shop after the last debate, can we all agree that Biden is O-V-E-R? And St. Paul is FINE, no thanks to Amy.

The gang is all here to dive head first and dissect the Trump rally in Minneapolis, from both perspectives. The tensions were definitely high before, during and after the rally. How the fringe on both sides is becoming increasingly dangerous to us all. The Yang pill is the medicine the right refuses to take. Taking accountability for racism in the Republican party is crucial if they are going to move forward. And the hypocrisy on both sides, enough already.

The gang is all together and there is much to discuss with the impending investigations that could lead to impeachment. Big concepts get thrown around, and both sides make their case. The wild claims against Elizabeth Warren, that are only helping her cause. Poor Bernie Sanders had a little shpilkes, but should be back just in time for New Hampshire.

Diving head first into the impeachment process. What is going to happen, anything, everything? Unpacking the actual motivations of the Bidens, and that they are a symptom of a bigger issue in this country. Al Franken is back in the spotlight and Carin shares a very personal story about male entitlement. Trash Wars with Javier, ya'll need to quit your dumping.

Javier, Carin and Amy are joined by Amy's son, but not really, Will Dammann, former intern to the program. The Democratic debates were pretty hard for everyone to digest, is there any candidate that can pass the 'electability' test? It certainly isn't Joe Biden at this point. Saying our goodbyes to another Trump cabinet member, John Bolton, but good riddance on this one. The latest enemy to the populace, Big Vape. In Minnesota news, legislators are in trouble, for creating jobs? Well there's more to it than that.

Finally back in a decent studio, Amy, Javier and Carin are joined by 'baby lawyer,' Leah Koch, she wishes she was that kind of Koch. In local news, we have a First Dog and Ilhan Omar's personal life continues unfold in the public eye. Why distinctions are very important when looking at this situation of campaign finance and infidelity. The Terrorist Watch list, how to get on and off of it, nobody really knows.

Also, Ilhan Omar's taxes, and relationships, have been called into question, again. One thing we can all agree on, campaign finance is confusing.
