We’re Back! (And So Are the Iowa Caucuses)

Bill and Phil break down the Iowa caucus results and preview the New Hampshire primary, examine the GOP’s rewriting of the history of January 6th, discuss South Africa bringing a genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, and close by looking at data suggesting that all Americans feel like political losers.
