Is it enough? What has to happen to stop that? Given that it is like doridos all joking aside, it becomes like that. It comes, you know, indispensable, and you cannot stop taking these things.
Scott-Free August is here, and comedian Kathy Griffin is Kara’s first guest co-host! They discuss the missing Secret Service text messages, and whether Kyrsten Sinema will disrupt the Schumer-Manchin bill.
