United States of Scandal

Jake sits down with the still-defiant former Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, to try to decode truth from spin in this legendary tale of one of the most corrupt politicians from America’s most corrupt state.

In a uniquely personal episode, Jake unpacks the “Appalachian Trail” scandal of his friend and former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford and explores the difference between the politician and the man underneath.

Jake sits down with Valerie Plame, a former covert CIA spy, outed by her government after her husband blew the whistle on the Bush administration’s faulty rationale for the war in Iraq.
