Show notes
Eli Merritt is political historian at Vanderbilt University, where he researches the ethics of democracy, and he's out with a new book, Disunion Among Ourselves: The Perilous Politics of the American Revolution. He sits down with Mike for a discussion of the radical differences of each of the founding colonies based on location, and together they wonder what the world would be like had the colonies never become the United States. Also on the show, Mike Pence blames Trump's "crackpot" legal team for January 6th. And in the Spiel, early rising conservative pundits got the first bit at the indictment apple.
Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
