The world is on track for catastrophic climate change, UN report says
Paul Manafort held secret talks with Assange in 2016, The Guardian reports

Later in the episode, Charles Hinshaw and J. McVay discuss the new movie, If Beale Street Could Talk, directed by Barry Jenkins, based on the book by James Baldwin, and starring KiKi Layne, Stephan James, Regina King, Colman Domingo, Teyonah Parris, and Brian Tyree Henry.
