Summary
<p>Donald Trump sics the Justice Department on his enemies, the UN sics its escalators on Donald Trump, and, somewhere in Florida, Lovett’s mom tries to remember if she took Tylenol. California Congressman Eric Swalwell stops by to discuss the potential shutdown, Prop 50, and liberal cringe’s greatest hits. Bassem Youssef and Paul Scheer join us to break down our bad reality and even worse movies. Then we give the wheel a 360 to look back on our own 180s, before spinning out into the night.</p><p>Get tickets to LOLI NYC & more upcoming shows at <a href="http://crooked.com/events">Crooked.com/events</a>.</p><p>For a closed-captioned version of this episode, <a href="https://youtu.be/T5aDwxCUiKg">click here</a>.
