Podcast:Political Playlist Happy Hour Published On: Tue Aug 04 2026 Description: On this episode, Anna and Michael raise their eyebrows at the pending confirmation of Todd Blanche, the current acting, soon-to-be official Attorney General of the United States. Because here's the thing, Blanche is Trump's former personal lawyer. Does this smell of corruption? It sure does. A handful of Republican senators got Blanche to agree to not pursue Trump's weaponization fund which would have paid the likes of Jan 6 rioters and more. BUT does that mean Trump and Blanche won't try to reinvigorate the fund in the future? We talk about how corruption is a new salient election message that might actually resonate in a new and surprising bipartisan way. So tune in if you care about morals, values, ethics... those sorts of things. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
