This week, Brad and Steven are back to talk about the unrest at the Canadian border and the hypocrisy of Republican politicians when it comes to protests. They also wonder out loud if Merrick Garland has died and not bothered to tell anyone as the erosion of our democratic foundation continues apace. Happy listening.
