Washington Times Opinion Editor Charlie Hurt joins Andy Parks to explain why he says Shakespeare would have been in love with Donald Trump. But first, what does Charlie expect in Biden's first 100 days? Is impeachment the top priority? "It's going to be a very, very long two years and it's going to get uglier than we've ever seen." Charlie says not only did Trump not get a honeymoon phase, he didn't even get a first term.

The impeachment of King Lear

Charlie Hurt and Andy Parks take a look at the results from Georgia. Charlie says Republicans need to do a lot of soul searching to figure out what the problem is here and where they are today. Is Donald Trump really to blame for problems in the party that go back 30 years? Will Republicans be able to learn the lessons? Andy asks, where to we go from here?

Peddling 'malaise' doesn't travel far in real America

Continuing to give Christmas thanks, Charlie Hurt joins Andy Parks with a look at the upcoming Georgia election and the importance of voting despite concerns of shenanigans. Andy wonders whether voters will trust that their vote is actually counted. "Whatever happens going forward, the worst thing that can happen is if people walk away... It is our duty to remember everything that President Trump fought for and accomplished, and to turn now to protect those accomplishments."

Give Christmas thanks, then go vote!

"So, this is what Death Panels look like." Charlie Hurt and Andy Parks get into who, of all people, is at the front of the line for the new coronavirus vaccine... Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Charlie says, "for these people, everything is about politics all of the time." He says not a single member of congress should be able to get the vaccine until every other American has had that opportunity. "The life of a Washington bureaucrat!"

All hail AOC, Death Panel Princess

"There is a reason that Democrats made all of these changes in this election." Charlie Hurt and Andy Parks talk about the odds of a window of opportunity for President Trump to prevail in the 2020 election. As Charlie says, it appears that the states have spoken and Joe Biden will be our next president. But the political options are still open to examine issues like censorship, journalistic integrity, massive mail-in ballot issues and the need to fight for what's right.

2020: Is it over for President Trump?

"Understandably, Trump supporters are profoundly frustrated today." Charlie Hurt and Andy Parks on how Georgia, once a reliable vote for common sense and freedom, has now become the No Man’s Land between two trenches locked in vicious battle for the future of the Republic. Charlie says these are hard times, without a doubt, and the problem is that people in the country are surrendering to outside forces. Can Republicans prevail in Georgia?

Waiting for Kraken

Charlie Hurt and Andy Parks ask, can you imagine the reaction if Trump had been attacked by a dog? "Somebody get that man a walker! With fresh tennis balls!" And we take a look at some of the "unprecedented" and "historic" picks to join the Biden administration, including former Secretary of State John Kerry as the climate czar. "At least we can all agree on one thing, Charlie says. "The guy is an unrivaled expert on hot air. And he made a lot of money — the old fashioned way. He married rich and got into politics."

Joe Biden and the 'Strolling Bones'

"Anything is possible." Charlie Hurt and Andy Parks get together to examine the details of claims made by Sidney Powell on the 2020 election. Charlie says a reasonable person might evaluate all these various improbabilities and conclude that somebody is lying. Maybe Kraken is just a myth. But this is our new world — the world of politics — in the age of Trump. Charlie says he's willing to believe anything now. Also, would a Biden presidency be the third term of Barack Obama?

Climbing into bed with the Kraken

"It must really be hard to live today in a nation of 73 million Nazis." Charlie Hurt and Andy Parks dig into Christiane Amanpour comparing the Trump presidency to Hitler’s rise to power. And then, we get Charlie's take on the state of the presidential race, the examples of voter irregularities, and where does the Trump campaign go from here? "The fact that we are having the argument is incredibly positive. It's a debate we should have been having for a very long time."

Trump should fight, and fight to the very end

Charlie Hurt and Andy Parks put their heads together to try to make sense of this election. Charlie says that President Trump has created such instability, it delights him. Is this a Biden victory lap? Is that premature? "Please, spare me all the pearl-clutching over President Trump and 70 million American citizens who are today rightly suspicious about whether this latest election was stolen." Charlie says he has more confidence today that President Trump has a real chance of winning this election.

An election in the era of conspiracies

Whether is was a Super Tuesday depends on who you ask. Charlie Hurt, Stephen Dinan and Andy Parks break down where things stand for the Democrats. Was it a total, complete rejection for Bernie Sanders? Were voters rejecting the idea of socialism? Is Joe Biden now in a position to put together the delegates needed to win on the first ballot?

So, was it a Super Tuesday?

Charlie Hurt, Stephen Dinan and Andy Parks reassess the 2020 presidential field. Why is Bloomberg running? Will Joe Biden’s family hold an intervention? And “Elizabeth Warren is no Ted Kennedy.” This week on Politically Unstable we ask… three weeks from now, who’s still standing?
