In this episode, Alex starts by talking about the pros and cons of Finland and Sweden joining NATO. Then he discusses the troubling testimony from Trump’s former aide, Cassidy Hutchinson. She not only described Trump’s knowledge of the mob being armed but also discussed how he was fine with it and wanted to join them at the capitol. Apparently, Trump also acted like a maniac and threw burgers, staining the walls of the White House with ketchup. Later, Alex discusses the West Virginia v. EPA case and how the SCOTUS will make it harder to create a robust clean energy economy. It will also make it harder to uniformly regulate carbon emissions across the United States. This decision will make things more expensive and less effective. Finally, Alex discusses how companies like Meta, Alphabet, Reddit, and Tik Tok could provide user data to law enforcement officials in states that have outlawed abortion. If a woman goes over state lines to get an abortion, these apps could provide that information to law enforcement. Catherine Crump, a law professor and director of the Samuelson Law, Technology and Public Policy Clinic at UC-Berkeley’s law school, says that “digital evidence has just revolutionized how criminal investigations are conducted in this country. We live our lives online, we leave digital breadcrumbs of our prior activities, and of course, those are going to be caught up in abortion investigations.”
