Trump has Covid -- We discuss what this means with Coronavirus expert Craig Spencer MD Oct 02, 2020

Show notes

In today's special episode, Cliff and I talk to NYC emergency room doc Craig Spencer MD about Donald Trump, Melania, favorite Trump aide Hope Hicks, and RNC chair Ronna Romney McDaniel all being diagnosed with Covid-19. Craig is the Director of Global Health in Emergency Medicine at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center. He currently divides his time between providing clinical care in New York and working internationally in public health as a board member of Doctors Without Borders USA. Craig has dealt first-hand with the Coronavirus pandemic in NYC. He walks us through a timetable of when Trump might have been infected with the Coronavirus, when Trump was likely contagious, what the risks are for someone Trump's age with Trump's comorbidities, to what degree Trump must now isolate himself from the public, and whether it's even safe for Trump and Joe Biden to debate in two weeks. Cliff and I then talk about what the diagnosis means for the presidential race, about Trump not even letting Biden knows that he might have been exposed, and more. Lots to discuss.

"Arrogant un-American crackhead," our presidential debate recap Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

In today's patron-only special episode, Cliff and I recap last night's presidential debate with the best (or worst) clips of the evening, and our take on who won, and whether it even matters. Among the clips: Trump's incessant interruptions; Trump embracing the Proud Boys white supremacist group; Trump talking about a coup; taxes; the ACA; masks; the vaccine and Trump's wacky bleach idea; the economy; and Kellyanne claiming riots help Trump. We also have a long discussion throughout about whether Fox News' Chris Wallace totally botched the debate, or whether, after having listened to the clips again, Wallace may have shown Trump to be a bully, which won't help him with white suburban women, a key demographic in November. This is one of our subscriber-only episodes, but you can listen to a free 30-minute clip here, and to hear the rest of the 82-minute show, and support our work, please become a patreon over at Patreon, thanks.

We have a long discussion with Fred about his story, his new book "Find the Helpers: What 9/11 and Parkland Taught Me About Recovery, Purpose, and Hope," and about the time Brett Kavanaugh refused to shake his hand.
