Episode Description from the Publisher

Today's news kicked off today's show: Todd Blanche's attorney general nomination gets pulled after he refuses to put in writing that Trump's IRS "slush fund" scheme is dead — and two Republican senators aren't buying it. Then, the never-ending question of whether Mitch McConnell is alive, dead, or somewhere in between, plus Trump's new AI "pre-crime" policing plan straight out of Minority Report, and Kash Patel's defamation lawsuit over being called "googly-eyed" gets thrown out of court. (Well, they ARE googly eyes and creepy too!) In the second half, I talk with Erin Riley about her new book, The Mighty WMMR: An Oral History of Philadelphia's Rock Radio Revolution — stories from the golden age of terrestrial radio, breaking Springsteen and Billy Joel, and life behind the scenes at one of the country's most legendary rock stations.
