This week, we dive deep into the Michael Flynn, including the original events that led to what is going on today.  We also talk about the Survivor finale, which was a nice bow to the best season of Survivor yet. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-moderate-podcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-moderate-podcast/support

Dad is back this week, and he had to make up for lost time apparently! We didn't get to a lot of what we wanted to talk about, but we did share some quarantine stories as well as more 'rona talk.

This week, Jimmy is flying solo, talking about Justin Amash and his bid for the Libertarian Party candidacy, the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, and the flu numbers in recent years that are supposedly as bad as the COVID numbers (spoiler alert...they aren't).

This week, we talk about the new revelations in the alleged Joe Biden/Tara Reade sexual harassment (assault?) situation and how/if we should apply the Kavanaugh standard. We also talk about the whole Trump disinfectant fiasco, when the Coronavirus started, and what the next round of stimulus packages might look like. I also rant about Mitch McConnell's take on state and local government funding.

On the 25th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, we reflect on the tragedy that, at the time, was the deadliest terrorist attack on US soil in history. We also talk about the historic relationship between the President and the press and its place in our freedom, So. Cal protestors, and some of the economic impacts of COVID-19.

This week, we get back to talking about the Coronavirus, talking about some of the "theories" out there about the virus, including whether California has already faced the virus, and what else might be causing us to be sick besides the virus. Also, we talk about the chaos in Wisconsin leading up to their primary this past Tuesday. Speaking of chaos, we talk about the latest tribal council on Survivor.

This week, we take a break from the craziness that is COVID-19 and instead focus on the craziness that is Tiger King. The kids also come on for an entertaining segment you won't want to miss!

This week, we talk about the impacts of our work lives as a result of the coronavirus, as well as the role the media has played, Trump vs. the media, and what's in that $2 trillion CARES Act. Next week, we plan on making it a COVID-free zone on the show!

In this first edition under the official stay at home directive, we talk about the latest numbers on COVID-19, the hoarding mentality, and what your local government is trying to do to balance following the Governor's orders while continuing to provide services to the public. We also talk about the latest Democratic primaries and what's coming up, as well as the latest on Survivor, where Denise made one of the biggest plays probably in the show's history.

We are following Worldometer to track the COVID-19 pandemic. Check it out here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

It's impossible to avoid talking about COVID-19, so we of course have to discuss.  But it is a mix of comparing it to past pandemics and, more specifically, coronaviruses, as well as the political aspects.  We also discuss the results of Super Tuesday II. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-moderate-podcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-moderate-podcast/support
