346. Sam Bee (Replay). The Kurds are Being Slaughtered. Democrats Debate Again. The Middle East Jenga Game. Sam Bee at The DMV. The Daily Show Reunion Tour. Fighting Back with Comedy. Djibouti and Naugahyde.

Our August break is continuing with a replay of one of our favorite chats we’ve ever recorded. This one is really fun. 

Over the next few weeks we’ll be re-sharing conversations with some of our favorite guests as they share their stories of independence, integrity, information, inspiration and definitely impact.

We’re kicking the series off with a conversation with comedy legend Sam Bee. And if you're a Lindsey Graham fan, this one is not for you. Recorded live from the Manhattan Classic Car Club back in 2019, this episode is a candid, no-holds-barred conversation with one of America's most important voices in comedy and journalism.

As you’d expect, Sam doesn’t hold back, delivering a blistering critique of the administration, the politicians who enable it, and the moral compromises being made in Washington to placate Trump. Sound familiar? This episode is a look back at 2019 when we were just getting started. But once you give it a listen, you might be surprised by just how relevant it still is.
