Jason Lewis, the former congressman from Minnesota and Rush Limbaugh guest host, sat in for Clay & Buck on Thursday to give his insider perspective on where our nation’s problems lie. He’s biased because he served in the House, but makes his case for why it’s the Senate that’s to blame.

His book: Party Animal: The Truth About President Trump, Power Politics & the Partisan Press.

Jason also welcomed John R Lott Jr., author of More Guns,Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws. Visit him at the Crime Research Prevention Center.

Meanwhile, the Democrats finally get legal cover for their partisan trick of releasing Trump’s tax returns, and it backfires.

Yet another Democrat scam backfires. Releasing Trump’s tax returns shows his net worth declined while in office. Is there a single Democrat who could say the same? Clinton? Obama? Biden? Pelosi doubled her net worth.
