It’s Summer ’16 Again: Prisoner Swaps, Trump Takes Shots & JD Flops

In this episode, Alex ponders why only Mexican Beer seems to come with a lime, then he dives into more substantive issues. It feels awfully similar to the summer of 2016 — Trump is reverting back to his divisive and animalistic rhetoric as the country is warming up to an historic candidate running against him. Specifically, Alex focuses on Trump’s comments around Kamala Harris being a biracial woman. Later, Alex looks into the recent prisoner sway between Russia and Germany/the United States. He argues that prisoner negotiations are never perfect, and while he is glad people like Paul Whelan are home, he worries this has emboldened Putin to keep taking hostages. Finally, Alex reflects on Gov. Josh Shapiro and why he would be the best VP choice.
