The Trumps Go To Washington

January 12, 2017

The Chief and Lou Michels kick off the show to talk about Trump (Surprise, surprise, right?). What will actually happen with Donald Trump divesting his businesses to his sons?

The Chief and Lou Michels actually agree with Trump on something – drug companies.

A quick debate about insurance companies is touched on before talking about the Raiders and what looks like an inevitable move to Las Vegas. Is the possibility of the Chargers moving to The Stubhub Center just an affirmation that the NFL is becoming a studio crowd?

We round out the show by talking about the American workforce and the rise of automation. As some skill sets become obsolete, do some workers become untrainable? In an adapt or die environment, how will the lower class succeed?
