First, some exciting news! My dear friend and co-host Patrick is out on paternity leave.

Congratulations to the Pfingsten Family! Here’s hoping for healthy baby, healthy mom, and that sleep is in your near future, my man.

Joining me today is the always insightful and hilarious Rick Wilson, Co-Founder of The Lincoln Project. Few can say they professionally troll president-elect Donald Trump, along with the (now) dominant MAGA wing of the Republican Party. That’s probably because Rick cut his teeth as a Democrat-trolling Republican, before breaking hard with the party in 2016. He’s the author of multiple books, including “Everything Trump Touches Dies”, and host to multiple podcasts like the eponymous Lincoln Project Podcast. - Rick’s got some thoughts and advice on battling people who don’t play by any rules-

Parents: earphones for you or earmuffs for the kids. This one’s got more than a few cuss words.
