On today's episode, Ian and Adam discuss single-payer healthcare, the ongoing MAGA civil war, and some college football playoff news.

The DNC Chair campaign has begun. Historically, it hasn't been as important as some pundits might suggest, but is this year different? Ian and Adam break down how this could signal a new direction for the Democratic party and why this year is more important than years past.

Ian and Adam also celebrate Rep. Annie Kuster for stepping down at the age of 68, realizing that she is just not the best person for the job any longer and wanting to hand it off to a younger generation.

And 82% of Obamacare applicants come from states that voted for Donald Trump. Ian and Adam discuss why that is and how there are some voters who did not know the Affordable Care Act and Obamacare were the same thing.

Single-payer healthcare is the best form of health insurance for the United States. It's a sane and humane option that ensures no one in this country goes bankrupt because they get sick. So why hasn't it taken off yet?

We have a lively debate on the Jackass of the Week, featuring the likes of Nancy Mace and Matt Gaetz.

A MAGA civil war has broken out between Donald Trump's anti-immigration base and their tech billionaire overlord Elon Musk regarding H-1B visas. Who will win?

Ian and Adam discuss the college football playoff and the need for a fixed seeding format, as well as Bill Belichick's introduction as the new head coach of the University of North Carolina Tar Heels football team.
