Twitter Ain't The Courts. And The Courts Ain't Twitter.

Dan and Corey open with a little house keeping on the following topics:
1) Short Twitter Files Recap
2) Brittney Griner's Swap for A Second Rate Bond Villain That Nobody Knew.
3) Kanye's Fall and Why You're Wrong About It.
4) Trump's Newest Business Venture! Genius or Grifting?...Possibly Both.
