In This Episode

Erin and Kurt are back with a full plate. First up: Anthony Fauci has now pled the Fifth 111 times — a “Guinness-worthy” record — and Alan Dershowitz thinks Congress should offer him immunity to get real answers on COVID. From there, they dig into the fiery Dana Bash–RFK Jr. interview and debate who actually took the bait (spoiler: Kurt’s sports-officiating analogy comes out swinging). Erin gets personal about holding grudges “like a handbag,” then the two turn to Rosie O’Donnell’s return to The View — is ABC handing Trump free rent in her head, or handing itself a ratings and licensing headache? They close out on James Carville’s on-air warning that he’d leave the Democratic Party if the socialist wing takes over, and what that means for the party’s “big tent” going into 2028.
