Summary

This week Negin is joined by John Fugelsang and Grace Lynch as they discuss the "treasure trove" of info from the Facebook Papers and question if it is finally time to step in with regulations (especially with a possible Trump comeback on social media). Negin and the panel assess why dating shows are so popular, but marriage rates are low, and why phrases like "The Childless Left" exist despite their untruths.
