Topic: Senator Coons

Senator Coons calls for a change in Pentagon strategy in Liberia, suggesting that US troops stay to transition Ebola treatment units into permanent community health clinics. The hosts criticize the subtext of the report, suggesting it implies a long-term American military presence is required for basic infrastructure in Africa.

The hosts review a clip of Senator Chuck Grassley chairing a committee meeting to determine if he sounds intoxicated. They analyze his speech patterns and interactions with Senator Coons and Senator Flake. While one host suggests he sounds "slathered," the other concludes he is simply tired during the roll call vote.
