Show Rundown: The Big POS - Donald Trump held his first full news conference in quite a while this week, and while he didn’t make YUGE news, he touched on a lot of issues that the media have been clamoring to hear from him on personally, including the Special Counsel investigation, a possible North Korean summit, and “confusion” over new Russia sanctions. JC and Joel break it all down. Hot Takes - JC has some beef with Donald Trump over Donald Trump’s beef with Amazon.

This week's True Champions include a senator and a bear. Show Rundown The Big POS: JC and Joel delve into all things Comey, starting with a Culture Club reference. The former FBI Director has clearly gotten under the President’s skin. And Comey is clearly going to sell a lot of books. But both sides question his credibility and impartiality. Does Comey have a story worth telling, or is just cashing in on his 15 minutes? Is he ultimately believable, and how (if it all) will he impact the larger Russia investigation?

Show Rundown:The Big POS: The hits just keep coming for the Trump Administration. The week opened with incredible news, as FBI agents in concert with the New York US Attorney’s Office raided the office of Trump Organization lawyer Michael Cohen. As more details emerge, it seems that law enforcement is focused on payments to women who have accused Trump over the years of extramarital dalliances, and a former doorman who alleges a Trump lovechild. Meanwhile, former FBI Director James Comey’s book is set to be released, and he’s embarked on a PR tour as the RNC has amped up efforts to discredit him. Hot Takes: Remember earlier in the week when Syria was a thing, and President Trump promised that Assad would pay a “big price” for gassing his own citizens yet again?

Plus, is Trump serious about this caravan thing with the National Guard? It's a jam-packed episode of The POS Show. Show Rundown: The Big POS - Stop! Mueller Time!

Show Rundown: The Big POS - Fox News host Laura Ingraham is feeling the pain after nearly a dozen advertisers pulled their ads from her show. It all started when she went after teenage activist David Hogg for his rejection from four colleges. Hogg responded by calling for a boycott of her advertisers, which quickly led to big name brands yanking their ads from her air. JC and Joel break it down and discuss boycotts as a response to unpopular speech outside of the Ingraham case, and whether there is a “slippery slope.” Hot Takes - Do you even DACA, bro? Joel wants to know whether Trump legitimately misunderstands what DACA is, or whether he’s intentionally misrepresenting it to rile up his base.

JC doesn't have much use for anything Colin Kaepernick says, but believes he ought to be playing football. POS Nuggets - There's a new targeting rule in the NFL, and it's confusing as hell. What will it mean for offensive ball carriers, and why does literally no one know the answer to that yet. Also in Nuggets...will the Old Ball Coach be calling ball plays from a sideline again soon? It's starting to look that day, as a new pro developmental league looks to staff up. Predictions! - The boys give their Final Four winners, agreeing on one but disagreeing on another. Plus...Joel feels indictments in the air but JC isn't buying it...yet.
