Everyone be quiet, Elon Musk's kid told Trump to shut his mouth.
In this episode, Paige discusses the last two weeks in the news. The conversation covers a range of topics including Trump's proposal to eliminate the penny, the symbolism of Kendrick Lamar's halftime performance, threats to judicial independence, a la "he who saves his country breaks no law", controversial comments about Gaza, and the endorsement of far-right movements abroad(specifically the AFD). The episode also delves into the exclusion of Ukraine from peace talks (and the erosion of 70 years of foreign policy) alongside a discussion of political corruption involving Eric Adams and the weaponization of language in politics.
