Brad & Hannah break down the biggest financial scandal since Bernie Madoff: The implosion of cryptocurrency exchange FTX and the disgrace of Sam Bankman-Fried. They explain the complicated saga that’s left countless Americans in a lurch in a simple way that non-crypto people can easily understand — then address the question many progressives are raising: is this the fault of “unregulated capitalism”?

Then, they react to a shocking confession from a DEA agent about the War on Drugs and a New York Times report that FBI informants were thoroughly involved in the January 6 riot.  Finally, they respond to the disturbing incident where far-right commentator Ann Coulter was shouted down by left-wing activists at Cornell University, read listener comments, and drop some food hot takes.
