We catch up on President Trump's recent cavalcade of triumphs and humiliations. We're then joined by CTU member Kenzo Shibata to discuss the Chicago teacher's strike, what the union is fighting for, and what they're up against. Finally, we finish with a little lesson from Eric Trump on Marcus Aurelius, and the meaning of "hypocrisy".

Please consider supporting & reading more on the teachers' strike:

362 - Wet Sauce feat. Kenzo Shibata (10/28/19)

We talk to the Andean Information Network's Kathryn Ledebur about the ongoing political crisis in Bolivia. We also discuss Elizabeth Warren's dud of an M4A proposal and Mayor Pete's difficult week and mysterious career. Finally, just a dollop of Epstein coverage with a look at Prince Andrew's excellent work clearing the air for the royals on the BBC last week.

368 - High, High Hopes feat. Kathryn Ledebur (11/18/19)

We pledge eternal fealty to our beautiful "boaters." We also take a deep dive into an amazing bungle in the jungle, and examine Joe Biden's digital strategy of emulating c.2013 Upworthy.

[sorry about will's audio in the beginning, we had a bit of a Zoom goof but it gets fixed halfway -ed.]

416 - Operation: Guaido (5/4/20)

Will interviews Steven Donziger, a human rights attorney who has been under house arrest since August as a result of his work to prosecute oil giant Chevron for their reckless polluting of the Ecuadorian Amazon. It's a wild case that offers a lot of grave visions of the future of the U.S. legal system, so give it a listen. Afterwards, Will, Matt and Felix goof on an 80 ft.-tall holographic Biden and the decline of American empire.

To take action to help Steven and to learn more about the case, go to makechevroncleanup.com. To donate to Steven's legal defense fund, go to donzigerdefense.com. You can follow him on Twitter: @SDonziger.

418 - The Cool Zone feat. Steven Donziger (5/11/20)

A bizarrely vague, cliquish letter demanding everyone be open-minded has no interest in explaining what, precisely, it wants.
