Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the nomination of Kash Patel to head the FBI - a curious pick considering he was a major player in the January 6th coup attempt. Nevermind that, though, he'll just be busy weaponizing the FBI to attack anyone who disagrees with the administration. Then they have to analyze Trump's intention to use the military in an attack on Mexican soil - something out of their 80's-Action-Movie addled brains. President Biden pardons his son Hunter, which ends up being the chef's kiss ending on a presidency that was... something. They finish on Amazon workers across the world striking for better working conditions and the possibility they'll get what they want/deserve.
