David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles to tell unflinching truths about Lindsey Graham, the pilot fish senator to Donald Trump who died suddenly, and shockingly. Rothkpof unmasks the "odious" truth about the shape-shifting, two-faced senator. And he relates it to Trump himself and explains why it's time to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth, about both men's moral turpitude. They examine the battle over Trump's attorney general nominee, fresh questions surrounding Ukraine, Iran, and the Strait of Hormuz, and why Trump's foreign policy continues to generate instability abroad. They also break down the latest fights over election integrity, the administration's attacks on the press, the unraveling of America's public health infrastructure, and what all of it reveals about the direction of the country.
