Our First Political Chat! | "Trump Checks" and the Alternative for Germany

This season, we're giving the Pop Quizzes a break.

Instead, every Thursday we'll have new content from each of our presenters. On the first Thursday of the month, we will be discussing recent political events through a historical lens.

Today, Joe and Jon cover the promised $5,000 checks offered by President Donald Trump if his party wins the midterm elections, as well as the historical irony of Germany's traditional parties ignoring a serious political issue and how it is fueling the rise of what many believe to be a radical movement that promises fundamental change in that nation.
