DJT Double Down
Show notes
Erin and new official Hysteria co-host Leigh McGowan dig into the aftermath of the blue Tsunami, including Stephen Miller’s new Chief of Staff gig, the aborted impeachment of Pete Hegseth, and the administration’s latest attempt to shut down Planned Parenthood. They also cover Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang affair with a Chinese spy, Melania’s ridiculous new vanity project, and the sentencing of scumbag Russell Brand. Then they wrap up with petty rants about the ridiculous whining of the online right.
