469. Algatraz And Other Insufficient Punnery (w/Emily Flake+Jim Tews)

This week host Negin Farsad is back from vacation and takes on Trump's Big Shitiful Bill. She also asks if Elon Musk is the right person to launch an ever elusive 3rd Party. Also in this ep: can you ask your waiter where they’re from? And finally a MAGA summit designed to lure younger women into the fold with the promise of "less burnout and more babies." Joining Negin is the excellent comedian and cartoonist for the New Yorker, Emily Flake & comedian Jim Tews, who's new special "Jim Tews with Pictures" is a must watch. We here at Fake the Nation try to make the stressful parts of political and cultural life less stressful so, enjoy!
