10/17/23 - Stolen Babies, Stolen Credit Cards

Brain Trust Live

In Which We Discuss:

1. The only person brazen enough to try to lead the house GOP is, obviously, a criminal.

2. With no Speaker, House Republicans turn to prop comedy for their messaging needs.

3. George Santos stole a baby on Friday to distract us from the fact that he stole the credit card information of his donors.

4. We know Gavin Newsom wants to be the president, but for now maybe he could remember he’s still the governor of California.

5. There is honestly nothing more embarrassing than this year’s GOP presidential primary.

6. How quickly will Trump violate his federal gag order? And can he promise to still speak on windmills and whales in the process?
