To finish the week, Christopher gleefully reviews this week's episode of Celebrity Apprentice: White House Edition, as the administration said another goodbye to Steve Bannon. With his prominence and infamy as a member of the administration, it's important to explore what the White House will be like without him and how his firing represents a turning point for the Trump administration.

Today, Christopher looks outside of the United States turmoil to a forgotten hotspot: Yemen. As the war has transitioned from a physical to a biological battleground, the Cholera outbreak is a dire issue that requires immediate mitigation. Whether the developed world needs to intervene directly into health infrastructure, focus its efforts towards wartime diplomacy, or build a regional coalition to ease refugee stress, any action is appropriate.

To start the week, Christopher "takes off" with a case study into air traffic control pitfalls and private industry solutions. Even though the legislation to privatize has seen opposition, its propensity to optimize is ultimately a smart choice for the United States.

To close the week, Christopher discusses one of the most pressing issues in both geopolitics and humanitarian circles. With the country declining while its leader continues to ascend, the international community is looking to the United States to intervene and stabilize. After all, the wrongs of Cuba can be learned from and ultimately made up for, with proper action for Venezuela.

To make up for technical difficulties, Christopher decides to discuss difficulties in the technical capital: Silicon Valley (the puns keep on coming). In light of scandals at Google and Uber, the issues of bigotry counterbalancing the relatively liberal atmosphere represent systemic issues that need solutions. Through the establishment of authorities to combat flaws in their business culture and greater accountability, the virus of intolerance can be firewalled.

After some technical difficulties earlier in the week, Christopher approaches one of the most difficult questions in partisan politics (nice segué, am I right?)...the 2020 Democratic Primary. While Mark Zuckerberg may be trying to find an early advantage with his Iowan tours, the Party ultimately needs to find a candidate that can galvanize the cornfields, make it rain with donors, and find common ground between progressives and moderates.

To close what’s been a controversial, yet comedic week in the Capitol, Christopher touches in the alleged reports of a grand jury appointment in the Trump-Russia scandal. With continued road blocking in popularity, policy, and policy messaging, the grand jury appointment only amplifies cracks in the administration, rather than assuaging them.

After quite the entertaining week within the White House, Christopher decides to memorialize the brief yet brash legacy of Anthony Scaramucci and his meaning for both Italian literature and the Trump communications team. While the future of the administration's relationship with the media and the people is yet to be seen, it's clear that the administration needs to capitalize on its strengths rather than emphasize its weakness.

After a brief hiatus, Christopher is back analyzing the wreckage, both political and practical, in the aftermath of the surprise health care vote. Despite pressures from Trump and Ryan to find a health care solution, it's painfully clear that this solution will only spite the party by stagnating their agenda and worsening the popularity crisis.

Today, Christopher addresses one of the most profitable corporate mergers in recent history, the Amazon-Whole Foods Deal. With an intricate infrastructure and a market reputation, Amazon certainly is in a prime location for success, if only they could get Alexa to recognize accents...Find Extempolitik on Spreaker, iTunes, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Youtube, and Facebook and make sure to always speak up, speak out, and share the podcast!
