The Northern lights may be visible from Missouri overnight… have never seen them, but every time there’s a chance, but Ryan has never seen it. Then,  YouTube is set to remove new videos that falsely claim fraud changed U.S. election outcome. Finally, in this hour Normandy mayor's profanity-filled rant caught on audio just one example of hostile work environment, employees say.

*door creaks open* Oh hello!  Let us take your bags. Welcome to Castle SaysWhovia, your safe port in the storm. Come in, come in!

Yes, we’re all in here together, but there is plenty of room at the castle. Come, sit by the fire. Dan and Maureen will tell you stories. Mostly Maureen, She’s pretty chatty. And you can admire Dan’s beard! Look how it shines in the firelight! They talk indoor life, plants, ferocious badgers, fancy night, and more coping, coping, coping. Coping! It’s what this has always been, and now is the time to shine.

Oh, and Rand Paul. Because… Rand Paul is Rand Pauling harder than anyone has ever Rand Pauled.

Plus, the return of Sayswhosterpiece Theater, as Dr. Anthony Fauci attempts to be the sole voice of reason in an administration that's gone fully off the rails. 

Now, let us take your bags to your room. You can stay as long as you like. Don’t mind the ghosts.

In this episode, Van digs into the varieties of progressive foreign policy thought, and confesses to evolutions about his own thinking. Why Joe and Hunter Biden--who did no wrong here--remind us that foreign money corrupts the politics of democracies everywhere. What is the "Washington Post test?" And how is journalism itself complicit in empowering Trump? Also in this episode, why government memos are sanitized versions of history. Ask Me Anything: Which democratic presidential candidates does Van like? Is China neo-fascist (or neo-racist)? Non-Sequitur: Van's recurring dream about Ted Cruz.
