Then we dive in to the events of January 6th (23:50), Trump’s insane response, 25th Amendment versus impeachment, and our immediate reaction to Trump being deplatformed.

We wind down with a quick recap of the Buckeyes win versus Clemson, a quick peak at the title game matchup, and Harbaugh’s extension (1:12:00).
