Summary

This week, co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman examine the crumbling facade of the Trump administration as their one page peace proposal is sent back by Iran. With the Middle East slipping further out of control, Donald Trump is heading to China to prostrate himself before Xi Jinping. But he is not going alone. He is bringing the actual bosses of the United States Elon Musk and Tim Cook, to help beg for an exit strategy (but really to enrich themselves). They also breakdown: The Economic Indicator Trap: Why your Trader Joes bill is a ticking time bomb and what $7 diesel in Indiana tells us about the shipping corridors of the future. The Marco-mentum Mirage: The corporate medias attempt to launder Secretary of State Marco Rubio into the future of the Republican Party despite his history of failure. Gerrymandering the Resistance: A look at the states from Alabama to Virginia scrambling to redistrict and disenfranchise voters following the gutting of the Voting Rights Act. Golden Calves and False Idols: The literal unveiling of a golden Trump statue by evangelicals and the deep psychological wounds driving modern cult worship.
