Meet the next US Senator from Maryland, have some laughs and perhaps shed a tear
Best interviews of the week on my SiriusXM show
It’s Saturday which means it’s time for me to share a few of the most interesting, informative and entertaining political interviews of the week from my SiriusXM show.  Today’s interviews span the gambit including the next US Senator from Maryland to a Doctor who shared the horrors of Gaza to comedians delivering the weekly round up of the week’s news. Plus a bonus interview from March of one the people on VP Harris’s short list to be ger running mate.
So here you go:
Angela Alsobrooks, who currently serves as County Executive for Prince George's County, will be the next US Senator from Maryland. At least she must be if we are going to keep control of the Senate. The good news is that she is running ahead of Republican Larry Hogan for this open seat in recent polls but still Hogan is well known as former Governor. Â If you interested in helping Angela win, here is her website.
Below is my interview from Friday:
Every Friday on my SiriusXM show it's time for What Just Happened?! as we look back at the insanity of the week. Joining me this week is political commentator Tara Dublin plus comedians Wali Collins & Scott Blakeman to talk everything From Kamala Harris ascending, Trump freaking out to JD Vance still lustfully staring at couches.
Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, a pediatric intensive care physician who works with Doctors without Borders, shared the horrors she witnessed in Gaza of Palestinian children being burned alive, crushed by falling homes, losing limbs, becoming orphans etc. This was one of the most heart wrenching interviews I’ve ever done:
Rep Becca Balint –Vermont’s first openly gay member of Congress- talks the excitement surrounding VP Harris, Project 2025’s sinister plan for the LGBTQ community and more:
Bonus clip: Pennsylvania Gov Josh Shapiro is on the short list to be Kamala Harris’s running mate. He has been on my show several times as a candidate for governor and since he won. I wanted to share my interview from March where we talked everything from the rivalry between my beloved NY Giants and his Philadelphia Eagles to at the time why he thought Biden would win Pennsylvania in 2024. (This is in no way an endorsement- If I had interviews of the other candidates on the VP short list I would post them as well.)
Please feel free to share these videos with anyone you think would enjoy them!

What a lovely time I had this morning, Dean, sipping my coffee ☕ and watching your interviews. You made me laugh and weep, but most of all, renewed my faith in people. The courage and inner strength It took to care for the children of Gaza?! Thanks and Blessings, Dean 🫶💙🇺🇸
It’s a small world. Years ago I bought a car from a charming gentleman named Alsobrooks. He was a memorable man. How cool to think he could be her father! Have contributed to her campaign. Go Angela Alsobrooks!!
