This week, we take a bit of break from the politics of the day to delve into the culture a bit with our guest Richard Rushfield, Editor-in-Chief of the indispensable Ankler show business newsletter. We talk Roseanne, Samantha Bee, the Disney/Comcast merger, and yes, even some Solo. Then, our good friend and McRib connoisseur John Yoo stops by to a talk about pardons, special counsels, all of that stuff. Also, peak TV, and Señor Robinson is going to España. Olé.

Music from this week's episode: Dirty Computer (feat. Brian Wilson) by Janelle Monáe

    Before you complain about tariffs on Mexico, perhaps should read the Wharton Policy report from 2013 on how China is using Mexico to push their steel into the US market. They also dump steel into Canada, which also makes it into the US.

    Says Margaret Myers, director of the China-Latin America program of the Inter-American Dialogue, “In a way, China is a part of NAFTA because China contributes a lot to the goods that wind up” in the United States and Canada.

    Spoiler alert. I watched The Americans and kept watching because I wanted the dumb FBI agent to finally catch them. Of course catching them meant the end of the show. Sat through several seasons of them spying and murdering and getting away with it only to hope for a satisfying resolution, only to see them escape back to Mother Russia!

    I hear that dumb people graduate from Wharton.
