Show Notes
On this week’s episode: Trump and Tall Tyler get this whole North Korea thing settled ... "Impending nuclear war" will manage to basically fall out of the news cycle ... And we break down how accurate the President was with his "ranking of the races" that he did completely unironically this week.
