One of my favorite political commentators, author, and journalist, P.J. O'Rouke has recently passed away. So I decided to re-release an older episode with him, and may he rest in peace. ----Everyone's favorite topic... Trump. I interviewed PJ O'Rourke back in May. But today (the day this show releases) is pretty much the one year anniversary of President Trump's inauguration.

PJ tells you how the world would be different. He gives you scenarios to dream up a new world.)He also asks you to vote differently... Hypothetically, who would you vote for if you picked the president based on who you'd go on a road trip with.Our conversation makes you think. And laugh. An
