Wash your hands! The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared that the Coronavirus outbreak is officially a pandemic. With no known cure, the best medicine for Americans and the world right now would be a Consoler-in-Chief. Instead who we have is the unempathetic POTUS Donald Trump, whose sad attempt to calm us all in a rare Oval Office address sent the stock market into further schisms and that’s where we begin this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show when Halli and her partner in politics, former White House correspondent Matthew Cooper slice and dice all things politics, and Donald Trump, too, the podcast available at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com and on all your favorite apps.

Here we are in the midst of an official poandemic and we should all feel better because Donald Trump and his New York slumlord son-in-law, Jared Kushner, are in charge. But Trump, looking nervous as hell as he delivered bupkes in real remedies and a lot of blame in his Oval Office address might have made matters worse. Who will save the day? Former Vice President and presidential hopeful, Joe Biden? Is Senator Bernie Sanders quest for the White House over? Is the stock market plunge temporary or permanent? Oh, and just in case you missed it, Hollywood’s Number One couple Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson test positive for the virus and onetime media mogul Harvey Weinstein ,got 23 years in the pokey for all his dastardledly deeds.

The Coronavirus Pandemic, the failing presidency of Donald J. Trump, the 2020 stock market plunge, Election 2020, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and we’re just beginning this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show podcast, always available at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com and via all your favorite apps.

Is Donald Trump a racist? Is the country as fractured as it was in the lead up to the Civil War? These questions and more are discussed when joining Halli at her table on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show are New York Times bestselling author, longtime Fox News political analyst, Ralph Peters, and veteran White House corespondent and Halli’s partner in all things politics, Matthew Cooper.

If you haven’t read one of New York Times bestselling author, retired U.S. army officer, political talking head Ralph Peters Civil War novels, you don’t know what you are missing. There is a reason Ralph Peters has been called “the finest Civil War novelist writing today.” Now the author of  33 books that include award winning bestselling fiction, military strategy, memoir and over 1,000 published articles and essays, an expert on Russia, is out with a gripping new Civil War novel, DARKNESS AT CHANCELLORSVILLE, his latest historical fiction nominally the story of the last great Confederate triumph in the Civil War, more importantly, a story of the social and economic challenges that were not resolved by the wartime deaths of 750,000 Americans, challenges that continue to face our nation today.

From there Halli and Matt move on to review the week in politics beginning with the question of the week: Is President Donald Trump a racist? Or is he a demagogue? The President told four Democratic Congresswomen of color to go back to the countries where they came from. Was Congress right to condemn Trump for his incendiary tweet, that many say was racist? And what of the “Squad” the four freshman Congresswomen continually stirring the pot? Are they racists, too? What’s happening to Bernie Sanders? Is Kamala Harris Trump’s new target? And we’re just beginning. What a show! See you there!

Is Trump a racist? Is the country as fractured as it was in the lead up to the Civil War? Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, which is the Democrat best hope to defeat Donald Trump?

Yep, finally America was able to get a look at the Mueller Report, sorta, a redacted version of what we’ve all been waiting for, for a very long time. Did Mueller do his job or was Donald Trump able to obstruct justice? Did Trump’s new Attorney General Barr serve the people as he is supposed to do, or is he acting as Trump’s personal counselor? Did the Russians hack our 2016 election? Was Mueller Time good news for Trump or bad news for Trump? A good day for the Dems or a bad day? What comes next? Impeachment? And then there’s Hillary Clinton. Welcome to The Halli Casser-Jayne Show and we’re just beginning.

Halli and Matt get into the weeds and offer up some surprises when they take to the airwaves. It’s Mueller Time, collusion, conspiracy, obstruction of justice.

America’s political parties are broken and they need fixing. So says the authors of a provocative new book, Ian Shapiro and Frances McCall Rosenbluth in their new thought-provoking book RESPONSIBLE PARTIES: SAVING DEMOCRACY FROM ITSELF. Ian Shapiro joins Halli, along with Halli’s partner in politics veteran White House correspondent Matthew Cooper join Halli this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, the podcast posted at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com.

In our first half-hour, Halli and Matt slice and dice the week’s political news. Beginning with Trump’s government shutdown, now the longest in history, exploring the news that the FBI was investigating President Trump as a possible Russian asset before Robert Mueller was appointed Special Counsel, and the even more startling news that  President Donald Trump went to “extraordinary lengths” to keep details from his conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin secret – even from officials within his own administration. And that’s just where we begin.

In the second half-hour, Halli interviews Ian Shapiro, the co-author of the fascinating new book RESPONSIBLE PARTIES: SAVING DEMOCRACY FROM ITSELF. In their book Yale electoral expert Frances Rosenbluth and Yale political theorist Ian Shapiro dissect the political party system to argue that devolving power to the grass roots is not the solution; it is part of the problem. And that efforts to decentralize political decision-making have made governments and especially political parties less effective and less able to address constituent concerns. They argue that to revive confidence in governance, we must restore power to political parties, the core institutions of representative democracy.

America’s political parties, Donald Trumps as Russian asset, did Trump purposely destroy all evidence of his private talks with Vladimir Putin, is Mitch McConnell alive…those topics and more when journalists Halli Casser-Jayne and Matthew Cooper, and Yale political theorist Ian Shapiro talk politics on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, the podcast posted at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com.

The Trump Administration issued a devastating climate report, which Trump, like the Wizard of Oz told Dorothy to do, told the American public to do: ignore the facts. Oh, and did we mention that Miki Brzezinski became Mrs. Joseph Scarborough? It was just another week in the storied presidency of Donald J. Trump. Welcome to The Halli Casser-Jayne Show and they’re just beginning.
