Kara kicks off a Scott-free August with guest co-host Anthony Scaramucci — lawyer, podcaster, founder of SkyBridge Capital, and yes, former White House Communications Director for Trump (briefly). Kara and The Mooch break down Trump’s decision to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the latest tariff moves, and some nuclear saber-rattling with Russia. Plus, MAGA builds up its war chest, Trump tussles with Charlamagne tha God over Epstein, and the Smithsonian sets the record straight on Trump's impeachment.
