Episode 16- Jake Tapper: Troop Defender

Trump gave his first State of the Union address, proving that even the foulest and most foolish around us can talk and stand at the same time when prompted. This achievement prompted liberals to heap obsequious praise on the man-child in chief, and a chicken executive served as “designated survivor.” What could have been less appealing? Cue Joe Kennedy’s counter speech, and the drool that followed.

Let’s face it, everything’s more substantial than the State of the Union address, so we pulled some criminal justice stories from Baltimore, San Francisco, and Detroit that we think you need to hear about. We’ll also discuss Trump’s material impact on job growth and arm you with knowledge. Compare that to the feeble mainstream press that bombards you with nonsense like Corey Lewandowski screaming TOM BRADY BABY and self-appointed troop defender Jake Tapper.

In the pop culture corner, we talk about Comedy Central’s Nathan For You and Corporate, with an emphasis on their anti-capitalist messages. And for story time, Sam will tell you about the perils of the papaya tree.
