Sami and Alise are back to break down a truly insane week in news. First, Alise gives us some highlights from her trip to Cuba and Sami tells us about a strange series of books from the 1800s that low-key predicted Trump's rise. Then they get into the news of the week, starting with Senator Kamala Harris' announcement that she'll be running in 2020, and the latest on the government shutdown which is into its 34th day. Next they talk about the cancelled State of the Union, and a Buzzfeed report with damning new info on the Trump Tower Moscow project. Finally, they talk about Rudy Giuliani's latest on-camera f*ckup, SCOTUS upholding the trans military ban, and a very, very scary climate update. Learn more about your ad choices.
