What A Day - Dems Debate In The Palmetto State

Last night seven democratic presidential candidates took the stage in Charleston, South Carolina for the tenth debate of this election cycle and the last one before Super Tuesday. Overall, this one was a mess. We’ll talk you through the big moments, and the ways the candidates tried to define themselves against frontrunner Bernie Sanders. 

And in headlines: Bob Iger retires, Trump’s least favorite Supreme Court justices, and the CDC weighs in on coronavirus.

The Daily Signal - Arizona GOP Leader Explains Why Area Voted Against Sanctuary Status

 When talking about the immigration issue, more focus is often given to those coming into the country illegally, while citizens who live in border towns and cities are more often left out of the conversation. On today’s podcast, I speak with Chris King, the first vice chairman of the Pima County Republican party, who talks about what it’s like to live in a border area, and why Pima County voted not to become a sanctuary city. 

 

We also cover these stories:

  • In the wake of President Donald Trump’s visit to India this week, Trump announced that the United States would sell the host country $3 billion worth of military equipment.
  • The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases says that the spread of the coronavirus in the U.S. is imminent. 
  • President Trump called for Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg to recuse themselves from cases related to him in remarks on his trip to India.

Brought to you by... - 41: The Red (M&M) Scare

From the mid 1970s to the mid ‘80s, red M&M’s disappeared. American consumers had become worried about the safety of red food coloring after some questionable Russian studies prompted the FDA to look into whether one particular dye might be causing cancer in rats. But years later, the red M&M made a triumphant return, thanks in part to a college kid in Tennessee and an inside joke that took on a life of its own.
