This Thursday's episode starts with actual consequences for the "QAnon Shaman" resulting from his role in the January 6th insurrection, and mild accountability in the House for Republican Paul Gosar. We hear new data about opioid use in the US. Then we get an update on the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, as well as the trial of Ahmaud Arbery's killers in Georgia, and the possible exoneration of two men convicted of killing Malcolm X. Finally, we hear about the disappearance of Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai after she claimed in a Weibo post that the country’s former vice premier sexually assaulted her.
