This week, we visit with Republican candidate for Senate in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Beth Lindstom, who's running a valiant attempt to unseat someone by the name of Elizabeth Warren. No idea who she is. Then, our old friend Toby Young stops by to discuss his recent experience with the digital pitchfork and torch mob on the internet and what we ought to do about it (do read his fantastic essay on this topic on Quillette.com, The Public Humiliation Diet and buy his books that are discussed on the show). Also, the Cohen tapes, the roaring economy, and is there life on Mars? Hope so, because we feel like moving there.

I never understood why they would re-use the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) for a Mars landing. (In the movie Capricorn One.) It made no sense, not least because Mars gravity is much greater than the LEM was designed to land in/take off from. Like when Charlton Heston's "Taylor" should have realized he was back on Earth when he saw/heard the Apes speaking perfect Engrish, anyone seeing a LEM supposedly land on MARS should have immediately known it was fake.
