James and Al pay tribute to legendary journalist Dan Balz, examine the state of the country, analyze Trump’s performance so far, and announce the top vote-getter for the title of the most dangerous member of the administration.  Do you think you know who it is?  Then, they welcome Shane Harris of The Atlantic to discuss the battle between Trump and the intelligence community.  They look at the validity of the Steele Dossier, his multiple impeachments, and game out what comes next.  They also review the political impact of 47’s failure to release the Epstein files, and break down the effects that it has on the MAGA base.
