<itunes:summary>The award-winning news network brings you a weekly booster shot of issues and politics without the finger pointing and nonsense. CNN Radio's Lisa Desjardins works inside the U.S. Capitol and like many people, has reached her limit with the shouting, gridlock and schoolyard silliness in Washington. With American Sauce, she boils down the key facts, explains what's in the bills exactly (she reads them) and shows what issues mean in the real world. American Sauce is substance with a dash of sass and the occasional pop culture reference.</itunes:summary>
