71: Michael McFaul & David Folkenflik

With Russia in upheaval, and our media not exactly sure how to cover the Biden Administration, Al and James are joined by former Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul , and NPR’s David Folkenflik to take a look at how both will fare after the transition to the new presidency. Can the media keep the Biden Administration honest while respecting the American people? And will Russia fall to the wayside on its own or will more action be necessary? No matter how things play out, Al and James don’t think the Republican party will be much help in the foreseeable future, but there’s always hope!
