ON THIS EPISODE
Joe, David, Henri, and Kyle wade in on cultural issues like trans athletes in womens' sports, and the fine lines between violence, civility, and protected speech. The team addresses the Montana beer train derailment, an update on the Chinese spy balloon, a Texas bill that would establish a gold-backed digital currency, and how the Trump indictment will exacerbate the intensifying escalatory spiral in American politics. They explore how candidates like Vivek Ramaswamy and RFK Jr. will impact the 2024 presidential race, and react to Neil DeGrasse Tyson as he asserts that what matters most in science is not reputation or credentials, but consensus.
