Summary

Democrats are scrambling after Biden's terrifyingly bad debate performance. And SCOTUS delivers for Donald, offering him and other presidents absolute immunity for crimes committed while acting "in official" capacity. Comedian Caitlin Durante of The Bechdel Cast and journalist with The Intercept Prem Thakker join Francesca to discuss. Plus, after months of promising investigations into Israeli war crimes, the Biden Administration has done little except running cover for them. Prem explains what it's like to try and hold the State Department accountable for just one of the many atrocities: the murder of 6-year-old Hind Rajab and her family. Finally, a necessary game of "What's Good" where we all decide to watch Paddington.
