<p>Erin and Alyssa dish on Trump’s State of the Union address and Kash Patel taking the Olympic US Men’s Hockey team from hero to zero. They also unpack the disturbing case of Representative Tony Gonzales’ inappropriate relationship with a staffer and how Republicans are weighing the calls for his resignation with their razor-thin majority in Congress. Then they wrap up with the latest on the Epstein files and a petty preview of Candace Owens’ new series on Erika Kirk, “The Bride of Charlie”.</p><p>For a closed-captioned version of this episode, <a href="https://youtu.be/aBwjQkggVaU">click here</a>.
