Is this another example of far right politics on the rise, or is there a bit of nuance to this victory?

Number 3: About Taxpayer-Funded Trump Ads and School Phone Bans
The gang digs into the nearly $1.5 million in taxpayer money spent on ads praising President Trump. Where’s the line between a public-service announcement and campaigning on our dime? Then they turn to a study that found no clear improvement in students’ social wellbeing after a school smartphone ban. What should we expect these bans to accomplish, and what would convince us they aren’t working?

Number 4: About Ed Sheeran and the Paramount–Warner Bros. Merger
The gang digs into the backlash against Ed Sheeran after Macklemore was dropped from his tour over his pro-Palestinian performances. How much control does a headliner have, and who gets to decide what’s said onstage? Then they turn to the states’ settlement over Paramount’s proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. Did the attorneys general secure meaningful protections, or trade away their leverage for corporate promises? Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:06:57 - Ed Sheeran 00:36:18 - Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger 01:08:20 - Emails 01:46:26 - Wrap-up Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Number 5: About Trump's Venezuela Oil Deal and Syracuse University
The gang talks through Trump's 100-year oil deal with Venezuela, asking both whether it's a good deal and whether it's a deal the government should be making in the first place. Then they turn to Justin's alma mater, Syracuse University, which faces funding issues amid reduced enrollment and increased tuition. Is it a one-off problem for this specific school, or a sign of larger issues facing higher education?
