Mike reflects on Dolly Parton’s death and the rare sense of unity surrounding her legacy before turning to Darlene Graham Nordone’s South Carolina Senate victory and the increasingly bitter state of American politics. He questions Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s remarks about blowing up the White House ballroom and argues that political opponents can disagree without celebrating violence or hatred. Mike is joined by Joe Piscopo, who shares personal memories of working with Dolly and talks about her warmth, generosity, musical brilliance, and ability to bring people together.
