In this episode, Alex reflects on the death of Mikhail Gorbachev and why he was more popular in the west than in parts of the former Soviet Union. Then he looks at Lindsay Graham and why it seems like he is someone who wants access to power and influence more than anything. He recently said that there will be “riots in the street” if Trump is prosecuted. Some think this is just speculation, but pothers think this is a dangerous thing to say. Later, Alex discusses why Gregg Abbott has bused over 9,000 migrants to New York City and Washington D.C.. He discusses that this is cruel and symbolic, but also may be making a point about our broken immigration system. Finally, Alex discusses the economic issues in Afghanistan a year after the fall of Kabul to the Taliban.
