Episode Details

Jon Herold and Chris Paul kick off with the usual banter (t-shirts, a broken ice maker) before getting into the mainstream media's sudden admission that election polls might be, in fact, fake, which segues nicely into growing chatter about a possible second Trump impeachment attempt. From there the conversation lands on the actual centerpiece of the episode: the new White House ballroom construction and what it might mean beyond just a fancy new event space.

The guys dig into the history of continuity of government planning, why underground infrastructure tied to presidential safety has been a recurring theme for decades, and whether the ballroom project fits into that pattern or if they're reading too much into a construction project. There's a tie in to the impeachment talk too, exploring what a Democrat controlled Congress pursuing impeachment might actually accomplish politically versus legally.
