Thirty Pieces of Silver with Trygve Olson (Hour 1)
Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project joins us a day later than normal to update us on the state of both presidential campaigns.

Scott, you have an open invitation to The Todd Allbaugh Show, and as Trygve says, we’ll be nice to you. We just want to talk through your positions!
