Originally broadcast on November 1, 2016. we called it correctly. Just in a mirror image. Will Durst mused who’s going to explain it to Donald Trump when he wins the popular vote, but loses the electoral vote. There has never been an election year like 2016, and that has been eclipsed by 2020, with the Covid-19 Pandemic, accelerating climate change and Will Durst’s continued, but slow, recovery from a stroke. Let’s look back at how we got here, in the days when a live audience could laugh along with Co-Hosts Will Durst and Willie Brown. Our special guest joining us in segment 2 and staying for the Q&A in segment 3, Heather Knight of the San Francisco Chronicle

Part 1 – We start out riffing on the differences in how the media reports and the public perceives Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, and what might happen with Tuesday’s election and it’s aftermath. 

Part 2 – Heather Knight of The San Francisco Chronicle, and writer of the weekly City Insider column, is our special guest. We cover local & state propositions and the problem of government bureaucracy.

Part 3 – Heather stays with us for a Q&A with the audience, and our first question comes from Stephanie Weisman of The Marsh Theater. We end urging the audience to VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!

With Will Durst’s recovery, we cancelled our holiday year-end hour. You can catch Debi Durst and all the rest at the Big Fat Year End Comedy Kiss Off, with special guests filling in for Will. Meanwhile, here’s the 2014 year end wrap-up. The topics are HOT, the laughs BIG and the World Series Rings HEAVY. We were celebrating with SF Giants VP Russ Stanley, and had as a guest, that champion of justice, the late SF Public Defender Jeff Adachi. Here’s all four segments of that show on our YouTube Channel, starting with Segment One: https://youtu.be/XbQTVjVx_Vg
