Episode 158: They Think It's Russia

Amazingly, President Trump reached a new level of awful, bonkers behavior this week. Dan Savage, Rich Smith, and Eli Sanders are here to talk about all that went down before—and after—the #TreasonSummit. Then, “Who Is America?” Katie Herzog talks about Sacha Baron Cohen’s new show and whether it’s good for a country that’s already drenched in high-powered lies, elaborate cons, and shameless manipulations. Finally, Sean Nelson brings the antidote to the endless “Prime Day” ads that recently bombarded every internet-shopping American. It’s a new anti-capitalist movie by Boots Riley, and it’s excellent. The title: Sorry to Bother You. Plus, as always, the music of Ahamefule J. Oluo.   This episode is brought to you by Boll and Branch: Luxury, affordable, 100% PURE cotton sheets.
