This week we sit down with Stephen Richer, the Recorder for Maricopa County in Arizona. Richer, a Republican, defeated the Democratic incumbent in November 2020, and has been at the forefront of investigations into allegations of election fraud made by Trump.

This week we sit down with Chris Krebs, former Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the senior Trump Administration official responsible for securing the 2020 election. In November 2020, then-President Trump fired Krebs via Twitter due to his commitment to debunking election-related disinformation, much of which was being promoted by Trump and his allies.
This week we sit down with Tom Rooney, former Congressman from Florida, to discuss the rise of Trumpism, outrage culture, and a path toward sanity in our politics.
This week we sit down with Barbara Comstock, former Congresswoman from Virginia, to discuss recent events within the GOP and what impact they’ll have in 2022 and beyond; how doubling down on Trump and the events of 1/6 will impact the party's ability to reach reasonable voters of goodwill and engage with them on the issues that matter most to families across the country.

This week's episode features Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt, who penned an Op-Ed two days before the insurrection that Adam Kinzinger found particularly inspiring.
