## Resource

Democratic Strategist Max Burns guest hosts for John. He focuses on key issues that are shaping our nation today. Max kicks things off with a lighthearted nod to the Indianapolis 500, but quickly dives into the serious issues at hand, including the alarming state of Trump's waning support among Republicans and the fallout from Stephen Colbert's final show. With guests like Brad Lander, a former New York City comptroller and candidate for Congress, and Insha Rahman, the president of the Vera Institute of Justice, this episode goes deep into the startling implications of recent legislation and the challenges facing Democrats.
