#440 - From Nashua to Haaazzaaa

Oh dear. Watching the New Hampshire returns, the lads do a spot-on impression of the good old, liquor-soaked days of 2016 Fifth Column and get pretty deep in their cups…so yeah, sorry about this one.

  • Trump wins

  • Cutting from Trump’s dumb speech

  • 20 percent for Dean Phillips

  • This is, in fact, democracy

  • No one says anything on cable news

  • The speeches

  • The overstatement machine

  • Moralism doesn’t work

  • A brave defense of Iran-backed Islamism

  • A sort of drunken rant about hipster Houthis

  • The New York Times on haaaazaaaaaa

  • It all falls apart…something about Tipper Gore, Jello Biafra, and covering every election but the U.S. one
