Summary

We hear from Glenn Greenwald about the Intercept's work uncovering a massive judicial corruption scandal at the heart of the Bolsonaro regime in Brazil. Then to lighten things up, we take a look at Mohammed bin Salman's plan to do both the Jetsons AND the Flintstones in the middle of the Saudi desert, and read Toby Young's paean to the overt manliness of Boris Johnson.

0:59.7

Well, Glen, we're going to get into what's going on in Brazil and not just with the country in general,

1:07.5

but also you specifically. But first things first, wow, how about that Mueller testimony?
