About this episode

On the eve of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jake sits down with House Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn to examine how the civil rights leader’s legacy ties to voting rights battles in Congress today. Then, Jake asks Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy about Republican opposition to Democrats’ election reform bill. Afterwards, Rep. Michael McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, discusses how the United States should respond if Russia invades Ukraine. Next, with Covid-19 infection rates and hospitalizations the highest yet, Jake speaks with US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy about when the Omicron surge will peak and what the Biden administration is doing to ensure tests are available. Finally, Jake closes with an important message about former President Trump’s plan to put loyalists in key positions to advance his seditious conspiracy agenda.
