In this episode, Alex starts by talking about how he is disillusioned with organizations that are fundraising to help Mangione after he murdered Thompson last week. Then Alex talks about Spain for a bit and how it is a growing and successful example of economic rebirth in Europe. Finally, Alex talks about ABC kowtowing to Donald Trump and why it is associated with the idea of anticipatory obedience. ABC is the most recent organization that has apologized to Trump for defamation claims and seems to be getting close to the president-elect before he gets back into office.
