Guardians of the Republic

In a new segment, we scan the nation for challenges the Republic that happened this week. PLUS who brought their acting A-game to the Dem debate.

Is James Comey an object lesson for how not to guard the Republic?  And we found some polling on the huddled masses yearning to breathe free.  Plus political take downs and altered hurricane maps.

Patrick discusses his Monmouth Poll that shook the political world and Ian breaks down how Joe Walsh skillfully defended the almost indefensible this week.  Plus hot takes on Nikki Haley, Brexit and more.

Do Democrats have their eyes on the prize in 2020; Medicare for All polling is a muddy picture; voices from the Iowa campaign trail.

A look at polling on gun issues and calls to speak out against white nationalism. And some "hot takes"on last week's Democratic presidential debate.

Robert Mueller and the case for impeachment hearings - but maybe not impeachment itself. And we ask if it is do-or-die time for some Democratic presidential contenders in our debate preview.

The tribalism behind "Send Her Back," a look at polling on government confidence, and what political parties can learn from The Bachelorette. Our Guardian of the Week comes from the health care field.

We discuss the controversy between President Trump and the "Squad" and hear firsthand what is on the minds of New Hampshire voters.  We also take a look at polling on economic anxiety, rate the 2020 candidates' performance skills in our “hot takes” segment, and see if anyone is deserving of Guardian of the Week honors.

We talk about the president's latest tweet and how it relates to factions in American politics. We also remember H. Ross Perot who passed away this week, take a look at Trump's polling trends, offer a few "hot takes" on who should get in or get out of the Democratic race for president, and end with our Guardian of the Week.
