Show notes
Hey friends, thanks for joining us on Wear We Are this week! There's been a lot of news over the last week -- the first is that we finally have a speaker of the House! With Speaker Mike Johnson unanimously voted in by Republicans, we look at how Dems handled this situation and at how Christian Nationalism is being thrown in the mix with Johnson. Next, former VP Mike Pence dropped out of the race this weekend. And we have new polling on political violence that as we dug into it live on the show, we found some major problems and discuss the pitfalls of surveys and polling.
