Irishman In America Podcast With Marion McKeone

Super Bowl Weekend Washington Shenanigans Special!

The big football game hasn't even kicked off and Marion's voice is already as good as gone. She puts on a show of guts in today's podcast as she joins comedian Jarlath Regan to talk about the week's latest news. Is Taylor Swift working for the Defence Department, is LA about to be washed away and will Tucker get his interview with Putin? Most importantly Donald Trump's attempts to convince the world that he should be allowed do whatever he likes because he was once the President look to be over. In yet another calamitous week for the GOP Mike Johnson ran from the building, Mitch showed his hand and Biden learned how to rattle the man before he throws the football.

Last night President Joe Biden attempted to connect the dots between Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Today Marion McKeone attempts to explain the latest developments.

Jim Jordan's challenge for the role of speaker looks dead in the water or is it? We dig into the questions you have submitted including the latest in the Trump RICO indictment, the use of opinion polls and Britney Spears' starting new memoir. (Patreon exclusive content)
