Ep. 10: Dems in Disarray feat. Damin Toell
Description
In this conversation, the hosts discuss the first presidential debate between Trump and Biden, with a focus on Biden's performance. They also touch on the challenges facing the Democratic Party and the media's role in covering Biden's weaknesses. The conversation then shifts to the recent Supreme Court rulings, particularly the case involving Trump's immunity from prosecution for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The hosts provide an overview of the legal arguments and historical context surrounding presidential immunity. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the concept of official acts and who decides what qualifies as an official act. They explore the example of Trump's conversation with Mike Pence regarding the certification of the election and whether it can be considered an official act. They also touch on the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn the Chevron doctrine, which dealt with deference to agency authority. The speakers highlight the theme of the court telling Congress to do its job and not rely on the executive branch or the courts to solve issues. They also humorously name Mary Trump as the Grifter of the Week for selling merchandise related to her dissent tweet.
