Episode 324: The Burger Kingification of Seccession (National Divorce & Georgia Grand Jury)

This week on Look Forward, Jay and Brad return to a political world that has been rocked by a series of explosive developments in recent days. In Georgia, a grand jury has reportedly indicted former President Donald Trump on criminal charges related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Meanwhile, in a controversial move, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has reignited calls for a "national divorce," calling for the peaceful separation of red and blue states.

Over in the House of Representatives, Republican leader Kevin McCarthy is under fire for his apparent fealty to the MAGA movement. He recently made a symbolic sacrifice to the Trump wing of his party by removing a GOP colleague who had criticized the former president.
