Civic Media's own Dan Shafer from the Recombobulation Area joins Mark to talk about what legacy President Biden leaves after the Harris loss. They discuss what blame falls on the shoulders of the former President for not bowing out earlier, and the damage done to the party as a whole from the fallout. They also talk about the whirlwind of a first week in office for President Trump. Finally, they touch on what the Democrats need to do in order to have success again.

"They got to change the way they talk to people." Dan Shafer in reference to the Democrats

In Mark's final segment, he gives his thoughts on whether or not Kamala Harris had the right or wrong message, and what he believes needs to be the focus of talking points for Democrats in the next election cycle.

"We have to talk about the dangers of this type of politics. That has to be a huge message." Mark Becker during his Musings
