First, in rare joint interview, Jake speaks with key Senators Joe Manchin and Lisa Murkowski about how to work together in a deeply divided Congress. The three discuss if bipartisanship is still possible in today’s Washington, their progress toward reforming the Electoral Count Act, and what’s next for President Biden's agenda on Capitol Hill.
Next, as the Winter Olympics begin with a controversial start in Beijing, Jake speaks with US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield. She says China is using the Olympics to try to distract from its human rights abuses against Uyghurs. She also discusses whether China is drawing any lessons from the United States’ response to Russian aggression against Ukraine.
Finally, Jake reflects on the last time the world looked the other way on an Olympic host country’s human rights abuses, with the story of Jewish German fencer Helena Mayer and the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
