Together, we research and break down complex, and even controversial, topics facing our society. Our goal isn’t to convince you to see things our way. We want to build a foundational understanding of these complicated topics so that we can address them together. We talk about some pretty heavy stuff on this show, and we tackle topics that might feel polarizing. But we do that because we have an important goal in mind: We want to change the way people have hard conversations. And, we think we can do that using research and discussion to create common understanding. And, since you’re here, we hope you want the same thing. So we suggest getting comfortable, and maybe having a good drink on hand as we work through this stuff. Welcome to our fireside.

We begin the episode with some whisk(e)y, some reflection, and some expletives as we discuss the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Then, we discuss the ins and outs of Presidential Pardons - well, clemency, to be exact. We talk about where the power comes from, and how the Department of Justice process works. Oh, and we threw in some trivia just for fun. Because, who doesn't love trivia?!

Loved listening today. So interesting and appreciated your perspectives. I agreed with sooo much of what you discussed and your opinions. When you said you can still be a Republican without Trump I thought yes people. Wake up. I look forward to 2021.
