In this week's episode:
“I Don’t Know What I’m Going To Do”
Maybe he doesn’t know what he’ll do, but John Kasich is at least laying the groundwork for a potential run for President in 2020. Steve and Mike speak with Ethan DeWitt, a reporter for the Concord Monitor who sat in on Kasich’s appearance before the paper’s editorial board this week.
