480. We Need More Semicolons (w/Bob Crawford)

In this episode of Fake the Nation, host and comedian Negin Farsad is joined by author/podcaster Bob Crawford (American History Hotline podcast). Together they talk about the decline of the semicolon; dissect the weeklong Jimmy Kimmel saga; and talk about Trump's unhinged Tylenol rant. Crawford - who wrote the book on the matter - shares what John Quincy Adams in 1830 tells us about America in 2025. Crawford is a true history nut so this episode might actually make you feel...better.
