This Show
Part 1: The Day After
The morning after the 2016 presidential election, Dale arrives hungover and shaken by Trump’s surprise victory. The cast processes the result — Dale struggled to sleep, moved his 401k to cash, and worries about the next four years. They play clips of Trump’s acceptance speech, Van Jones’ emotional CNN commentary, and Martha Raddatz choking up. Intern Dylan shares his shock, a Fort Hood soldier caller defends the outcome citing Benghazi, and Dale pushes back hard. The tone is raw, emotional, and unscripted.
