After 14 years on air, it's time to say farewell to the daily show. Bill is still going on as a podcast, but we won't be here every day. We'll talk about some of our favorite moments with some of our favorite guests!

Robert Mueller finally addressed his report on Wednesday afternoon. While he spoke in lots of legalese, but he definitely didn't exonerate Trump in his role of the election hacking of 2016. A lot of Democrats who were on the fence about impeachment will start calling for it. We talk to Alan Pyke from ThinkProgress, radio commentator Alan Pyke and Hanna Trudo from the Daily Beast!

At a town hall on Tuesday night, Republican Rep Justin Amash from Michigan fielded questions from constituents who gave him a standing ovation at the idea of starting impeachment hearings for Trump. Could this be a tipping point?We talk to The Hill's Jordan Fabian, Yahoo's Hunter Walker and Vox's Ella Nilsen!

Trump is back from a BIG summit with Japan! And what did he accomplish? NOT MUCH. He praised Japan's rivals, bashed Joe Biden and got NOTHING done. What a waste of time (AND taxpayer's money!)We talk to John Bennett from Roll Call, Matt Fuller from HuffPost, and Lauren Gambino from The Guardian!

Nancy Pelosi dared to criticize Donald Trump and say that his family needed to stage an intervention. There is growing talk that he is not of sound mind and body. So what is there to do? More and more people recognize that it's time to start impeachment hearings. We talk to Ginger Gibson from Reuters, Sabrina Siddiqui from The Guardian and Elizabeth Wydra, President of the Constitutional Accountability Center!

In a Rose Garden event yesterday, Donald Trump essentially shut down ANY bipartisan efforts to get anything done until the investigations into him cease. It's going to be a looooong several months until we throw him out of the White House in 2020. We talk to Rep John Yarmuth, Rep Mark Pocan and Chairman of the DNC Tom Perez!

Now that Trump shut down Don McGahn's testimony, will Democrats move forward with impeachment? More and more of them are getting on board with the idea. We talk to HuffPost's Ryan Reilly, Roll Call's Jason Dick and USA Today's Eliza Collins!

Now that the WH has shut down the idea of Don McGahn testifying, Democrats have ratcheted up their threat of impeachment. As Nancy Pelosi said, Trump is almost daring them to impeach him. But will they actually do anything? We also kick around some 2020 news!We're joined by Cate Martel from The Hill and our buddies Chris Lu and David Daley!

With Republican Congressman Justin Amash saying that Trump has committed impeachable offenses, it could be the beginning of the end of Republican support for Trump. There's still a LONG way to go, but if other Republicans follow suit, it could spell BAD news for Trump. The 2020 race heated up over the weekend as Joe Biden had his official campaign kickoff in PA! There's still a long way to go! We talk to Matt Ford from The New Republic, Steven Shepard from Politico and Niels Lesniewski from Roll Call.

We got a look at how much money Trump made in 2018 and it's a LOT of money. The Trump hotel alone pulled in 40 million dollars. We've got the breakdown! Bill de Blasio jumped into the 2020 primary! Does anyone care?We talk to Daniel Lippman from Politico, Cam Joseph from TPM and Rebekah Entralgo from ThinkProgress!

There was lots of reaction to the new horrific Alabama abortion bill yesterday. Every Democratic candidate for President made a statement about the law. Will they fight to preserve Roe vs Wade?Also, we are inching closer and closer to war with Iran. Are there any adults who can prevent it?Plus, we have a VERY big announcement about the future of the show! We talk to Rep Al Gree from TX, Justin Sink from Bloomberg and Brian Katulis from the Center for American Progress!

We are inching closer and closer to a war with Iran. People like John Bolton have been wanting this for YEARS. And they finally have get it if John Bolton and Donald Trump get their way. Could this all be part of Trump's re-election plan? It worked for George W Bush...Alabama just passed the toughest abortion law in the country. Will the Governor sign it? Will it make it to SCOTUS?We talk to Jennifer Haberkorn from the LA Times, Graham Vyse from Governing Magazine and Ed Chung from the Center for American Progress!

Trump continues to pick a trade fight with China. There's no real reason for this, but the American people are paying the price. Even Trump's economic advisor Larry Kudlow disagrees with Trump. He's going to cause another recession.Donald Trump Jr has been called to testify in the Senate. He's getting advice to NOT go. Lock Him Up!We talk to Sabrina Rodriguez from Politico, Asawin Suebsang from Politico and Nikki Schwab from the NY Post!

We are starting to hear the Democrats raise their voices about starting impeachment hearings. Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi continue to downplay it, but if public sentiment starts calling for it, they may very well go down this path. Stay tuned. Donald Trump has no idea what he's doing with regards to the trade war with China. He is doing serious damage to American manufacturing with his tariff battle. At what point does this become too much?We talk to Politico's Laura Barron-Lopez, Ray Locker, the author of Haig's Coup and Strategic Partnerships Director for End Citizens United Adam Smith!

Donald Trump Jr has been slapped with a subpoena. His father responded in a very public way on Thursday. He also accused John Kerry of breaking the Logan Act, which Trump definitely doesn't understand. He also accused Robert Mueller and James Comey of GASP being friends! Guest host Kaili Joy Gray welcomes Mark Greenblatt from Newsy, Addy Baird from ThinkProgress and Erica Sackin from Planned Parenthood!

Donald Trump is invoking executive privilege over all things Mueller Report. Rep Jerry Nadler says that we are officially facing a constitutional crisis. The Republicans will continue to cover for Trump and Democrats have their hands tied. So what can be done? For starters, GOP-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee has subpoenaed Donald Trump Jr. This story is far from over.Guest host Peter Ogburn talks to Max Bergmann, the host of The Asset, Democratic Strategist Jonathan Levy and Senior Fellow at Media Matters Matt Gertz

Rep Jerry Nadler is holding a vote to hold AG Bill Barr in contempt for the lies he told during his hearing about the Mueller Report. While conservatives continue to claim that the report exonerates Trump, Democrats are pushing back... None of them stronger than presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren. Guest host Peter Ogburn explains the situation and we hear from several voices on the issue. Plus, could Jerry Fallwell Jr be involved in a scandal? Michael Cohen says yes. When you hear about Falwell's background, everything makes a lot more sense. We talk to Adam Wollner from McClatchy, Joanna Piacenza from Morning Consult and Brittany Shepherd from Yahoo News!

Donald Trump has taken corruption to new levels in the government. But how widespread is it? We talk about it on today's show with guest host Jason Dick. We also talk some 2020 politics and the choice that Democrats will have to make. We talk to Katherine Tully-McManus and Jennifer Shutt from Roll Call and author Tim Krepp!

After a wild weekend where Donald Trump had an hour long phone call with Putin, tweeted about sports and generally disgracing the Presidency, what happens this week? The President has plenty on his schedule. We preview it with guest host Jason Dick! He's joined by Roll Call's Niels Lesniewski, Kathryn Lyon and Clyde McGrady from Heard on the Hill and Brandon Weatherbee from Brightest Young Things!

Attorney General William Barr lied when he testified to Congress earlier this week. That's a crime. So how will Democrats handle it? They have the power to impeach him, but without Republican support, it's likely to go nowhere. So how should they proceed? Guest host Igor Volsky talks to Alexander Bolton from The Hill, Christy Goldfuss from Center for American Progress and Hanna Trudo from the National Journal!

William Barr came to Congress to testify about the Mueller Report. He completely embarrassed himself, lied, provided cover to the President and made a mockery of the government. He used to have some credibility, but that is LONG gone. Democrats grilled him so mercilessly that he said he wouldn't come back for a second day of questioning that was scheduled. So what happens now? Robert Mueller MUST testify. We talk to Jennifer Williams from Vox about the situation in Venezuela, Matt Ford from The New Republic and Caroline Fredrickson, author of THE DEMOCRACY FIX: How to Win the Fight for Fair Rules, Fair Courts, and Fair Elections

Robert Mueller wrote a letter informing the current Attorney General that he mischaracterized the intent of his entire report. We now know what Bill Barr's mission was: to downplay the powerful conclusions of the Mueller Report. So now what? Robert Mueller should absolutely be allowed to testify about the intentions of his report to the American people. We talk to Li Zhou from Vox, Alex Seitz-Wald from NBC News and Zoe Tillman from Buzzfeed!

Joe Biden officially kicked off his presidential campaign on Monday. He's banking on working people to deliver the vote! Can he beat a crowded Democratic field? Can he beat Trump?It's infrastructure week! Can Pelosi and Schumer work out a bipartisan deal with Trump to improve the nation's infrastructure?We talk to Ginger Gibson from Reuters, Jon Allen from NBC News and Elaina Plott from The Atlantic!

While Trump is only about halfway through his first term, he's passed a BIG milestone. The Washington Post says that he has officially told over 10,000 lies in his time in office. It's amazing to consider just how many lies he can roll out in a short period of time. Now that Joe Biden is in the 2020 race, how does that shake up the primary? Most polls show him at the top, but can he keep that up?We talk to The Hill's Jordan Fabian, Politico's Chris Cadelago and Randi Weingarten from the American Federation of Teachers!

**SPECIAL GUEST HOST ALERT: Chris Lu, a former United States Deputy Secretary of Labor under the Obama Administration hosts our Friday show. This is the week of oversight and subpoenas. Trump is trying to stonewall the House Democrats from proceeding with any congressional hearings on security clearances, the U.S. census question, and testimony from Don McGahn and other officials. It's a long and difficult road ahead for Democrats as they try to navigate exercising their congressional powers and dealing with an administration that just won't cooperate. What Donald Trump doesn't seem to get or care about is there are checks and balances in our government for a reason...Who will win this battle? Trump or House Democrats?Chris Lu sits down with Executive Director of American Oversight, Austin Evers, Communications Director for DNC, Xochitl Hinojosa, and Legal Director for Democracy Forward, Javier Guzman.

Joe Biden has officially joined the crowded group of Democratic hopefuls to take on Trump in 2020. The former Vice President posted his highly anticipated announcement video on his Twitter account early Thursday morning. And the video didn't hold anything back, Biden brought Americans back to Charlottesville, where violence and hate led to the death of Heather Heyer. Biden called Trump out on his offensive and repulsive response to the incident, while trying to remind the American people that this is a battle for the soul of the nation.Polls leading up to Biden's announcement had him ahead of all the other candidates in the race. Now that he's in, will the third time be a charm or will the allure slowly fade?Bill sits down with Julia Manchester from The Hill and Eliza Collins from USA Today.

Trump enters a whole other level of pettiness after he orders his staff not attend the WHCA's annual dinner. It has been ninety- eight years since the first White House Correspondents Dinner and in that time only one President, besides Trump, has not attended. In 1981, Ronald Reagan skipped the WHCA's dinner after being shot from an assassination attempt. This years dinner will not include a comedian, but a presidential historian, after the infamous Michelle Wolf's performance left some attendees applauding and others embarrassed and upset. With Trump and his crew declining to attend certainly won't make any difference to Bill though, it's just means more booze for him!Today's guests are Ryan Reilly from HuffPost, Niall Stanage from The Hill, and John Bennett from Roll Call.

CNN had a line up of five Democratic presidential hopefuls Monday night: Amy Klobuchar, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, and Pete Buttigieg. One question that all candidates couldn't avoid was their positions on impeachment hearings. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris were in favor of impeachment, while the rest of the candidates left that option up to Congress. The Democratic Party seems to be split on whether or not to start the impeachment process. With 2020 quickly approaching, the Party has to consider the smartest way to handle this issue. Will the Democratic Party focus more on kitchen table issues and beating Trump in 2020 or hold the President accountable for his actions?Today's guest are Brian Lamb, Sabrina Siddiqui, and Pema Levy.

Coming back from the Easter/Passover weekend one big question looms after the release of the Mueller report: Should congress proceed with impeachment hearings? Only one 2020 presidential candidate has advocated for impeachment; Elizabeth Warren. Is this a smart political move for her or is she just wasting her energy on a matter that won't win voters? While, other 2020 hopefuls have played it safe in their responses on impeaching the president, it seems like the focus shouldn't be solely impeachment, but the best way to beat Donald Trump in 2020.Bill sits down with Ben Shnider, Daniel Lippman, and Igor Bobic.

The redacted Mueller report is out and if you think it was a total exoneration, you aren't paying attention. Trump and his cronies have been downplaying and lying about the report for years. We've now seen it and, while he didn't directly break any laws, Mueller was clear: Congress has plenty of evidence to bring collusion and obstruction charges against Trump. It looks like 2020 is the best option to get Trump out of office.We talk to The Guardian's Lauren Gambino, Amanda Becker from Reuters and Rebecca Buckwalter-Poza from Prism!

The wait is almost over but the process has only just begun. The highly anticipated redacted version of the Mueller report is coming out Thursday morning and Bill is covering all the important details you want to know. How the Trump administration is preparing for this release, and the motives behind the timing of it all. What should we expect from this report, we already know we can't trust Barr. So we want to hear the truth from one person and one person only: Robert Mueller.Today's guest are Matt Ford from The New Republic, Will Sommer from Daily Beast, Adrienne Watson, from the DNC

Bill is back from his trip and covering the devastation of The Notre Dame Cathedral fire, Bernie's successful Fox News town hall, and Trump's plan to send immigrants to sanctuary cities. All the while waiting for Bill Barr's redacted Mueller report to be released Thursday. What should we expect? Will Trump be exhilarated? Whatever redaction Barr comes out with WE SHOULDN'T TRUST IT.Our guests today are Pat Garofalo from Center for American Progress and author of “The Billionaire Boondoggle.", Rebekah Entralgo from ThinkProgress, and Kevin Robillard from HuffPost.

While many progressives said that it was a bad idea for Bernie Sanders to appear on Fox News. Well, they held a town hall on Monday night and Bernie CRUSHED it. He not only held his own, he convinced several Trump voters on his issues. By the end of it, the crowd was cheering for his ideas. The Mueller Report WILL be released to the public with major redactions by Bill Barr. Will we get to see what we need to prove that Donald Trump colluded with Russia or obstructed justice?Guest host Peter Ogburn talks to Miranda Green from The Hill, Olivia Nuzzi from New York Magazine and Gabby Orr from Politico!

Two new presidential candidates made it official over the weekend! Guest host Jason Dick examines their chances of taking back the White House. There is a fight between establishment Democrats and progressives. Does Nancy Pelosi understand that?We talk to Simone Pathe from Roll Call, author Tom LoBianco and Roll Call's Jennifer Shutt.

Will the US prosecute Julian Assange? The decision is up to AG Bill Barr. Donald Trump says he's never heard of Wikileaks. Oops. He's on tape MULTIPLE times talking about them during the campaign. Guest host Jason Dick talks about the state of Southern politics with Cam Easley from Morning Consult and Clyde McGrady from Roll Call. Plus, the intersection of professional wrestling and politics with Brandon Wetherbee. Also, Alexandra Petri from the Washington Post!

Bill Barr accused people of spying on the Trump campaign in a hearing on the Hill Wednesday. There is ZERO evidence of this. It's just another Trump lie that he's trying to spread around as truth. Why would the Attorney General help spread this lie?Bernie unveiled his official single payer health care system plan. Will it be enough to propel him to the presidency?We talk to Molly Claflin from American Oversight Committee, Ed Chung from the Center for American Progress and Travis Waldron from HuffPost!

The Attorney General came to the Hill on Tuesday to testify about the Mueller report. He didn't give any new information, but said that a redacted version of the Mueller Report will be available next week. Then.... the REAL fight begins. The fight for Trump's tax returns continue. The head of the Treasury confirmed that the White House has been working with the Treasury over this, which is blatantly illegal. Will anyone care?Also, the DHS is in disarray as Trump tries to ramp up the family separation policy again. Disgraceful. We talk to Max Bergmann from The Moscow Project, attorney Hassan Zavareei and reporter Ella Nilsen from Vox!

We now know that the reason Trump ejected the head of DHS is because he wanted to implement CRUELER policies at the border and she disagreed. This means that whoever is going to head DHS next is going to do whatever Trump wants. And that could be very scary. A Chinese spy infiltrated Mar-A-Lago with advanced spy material. The Trump administration is not equipped to handle this serious threat. Plus, ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE announced overnight. We talk to Daniel Lippman from Politico, Igor Volksy, the author of the new book Guns Down and Molly O'Toole from LA Times!

Donald Trump pushed Kirstjen Nielsen out of her role as DHS secretary over the weekend. While she was unspeakably cruel in her pursuit of Trump's agenda, she wasn't willing to go as far as Trump wanted. Which should scare the hell out of us when the NEXT DHS Secretary is appointed. Whoever it is will be far more cruel than her. Democrats are fighting to get Trump's tax returns. The Trump team is pushing back and saying that this will "be the hill that they die on." Of all the issues out there to fight for, this is the hill that they'll die on? Says a lot about the Republican party. We talk to Hanna Trudo from National Journal, Nikki Schwab from the NY Post and Niels Lesniewski from Roll Call!

Democrats have moved to get their hands on Trump's unreleased tax returns. Trump says he's going to fight them. The law seems to be very clear about this. Hopefully Democrats hold their ground! We have ANOTHER candidate into the Democratic primary. Rep Tim Ryan announced that he's getting in the race. Plus, Trump adds a familiar name to the Federal Reserve Board. Who could it be?We talk to Jack Jenkins from Religion News Service, Alan Pyke from ThinkPorgress and Emily Atkin from New Republic!

Attorneys who were involved in the Mueller Report have spoken out and say that AG Barr didn't tell the whole story of the investigation. Is anyone surprised? It's another good reminder that we still haven't seen the report and anyone claiming that it totally exonerates Trump isn't being honest. Congress moves to subpoena the Mueller Report and also moves to get Trump's tax returns. Trump says he won't give them up. So he's saying that he's above the law?We talk to Sam Baker from Axios, Rep Mark Pocan from Wisconsin and journalist/author Jessica Yellin.

The Trump Administration is continuing their threat to close the Southern border of the United States. This is despite the pushback within the Republican Party, where they know how damaging this would be to the country and the party. It's not clear if they'll follow through on their threat, but they aren't blinking on it. We've learned about some of the fundraising efforts within the Democratic primary and, so far, Bernie is leading the way. There's still a LONG way to go! We talk to Steven Shepard from Politico, Dara Lind from Vox and Rep. Ruben Gallego from Arizona!

A new story says that 25 different members of the Trump administration had their security clearances denied when they were hired. That didn't stop Trump. He overrode the national security experts and granted them jobs in the White House anyway. Multiple 2020 candidates spoke to the We The People summit in Washington DC this week. What did they have to say?We talk to Laura Barron-Lopez from Politico, Alexander Bolton from The Hill and Lauren Gambino from The Guardian

Lucy Flores has come forward and accused Joe Biden of touching her and kissing her head. She says she is NOT accusing him of sexual harassment, but that women have agency over their own bodies and Joe Biden didn't respect it. She also says that it's disqualifying for him to run for President. Do you agree with that?The GOP is gearing up ot take on the ACA.....again. You're seeing more and more Republicans go on the record and saying that this is a BAD idea. And they blame Mick Mulvaney and the Freedom Caucus. We talk to Michael Brune from the Sierra Club, Jon Allen from NBC News and Elaina Plott from The Atlantic!

A week after the Mueller Report was wrapped up, Donald Trump went to Michigan to rally his base and take a victory lap. He called again for the firing of Rep Adam Schiff, he backtracked on HIS budget plan to strip funding for the Special Olympics and the Great Lakes Restoration, and he picked fights with every Democrat who cooperated with the Russia investigation. We also found out that the original Mueller Report was over 300 pages long. How does it shrink from that to the 4 page summary that AG Barr released?Guest host Jason Dick talks to Jen Shutt from Roll Call, Clyde McGrady from Roll Call and Ryan Reilly from HuffPost!

Donald Trump has renewed his attack on affordable healthcare coverage for Americans. After Republicans lost on the issue in 2018, is this a smart idea for them to go back and fight about this again? Does Trump want to run on THIS for re-election?Plus, the Mueller Report SHOULD be made public. Will Trump and the DOJ allow us to see it? Even Republican Senators are calling for the release of the FULL report. We talk to Joe Perticone from Business Insider, Alice Ollstein from Politico and Parker Molloy from Media Matters!

While AG Barr sent a letter summarizing the Mueller Report, the public has not seen the full story. Until that happens, we shouldn't believe a word of what AG Barr has to say about it. Democratic leaders are calling for the full release of the report and suggested that Mueller and Barr should come testify on the hill. Now that Trump seems to think he's off the hook, he's taking aim at people who dared support the Mueller investigation. No one likes a sore winner. We talk to Graham Vyse from Governing Magazine, Pema Levy from Mother Jones and Ed Chung from the Center for American Progress.
