Ben riffs on Trump's insistence that Republicans swear allegiance to his "BIG LIE". And all five members of the newly formed City Council Democratic Socialist Caucus join the show to talk all things politics: Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, Alderwoman Jeanette Taylor; Alderwoman Rossana Rodriguez-Sanchez, Alderman Daniel La Spata and Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez. They explain why they formed the caucus and what they hope to accomplish.
