Summary
Michael Kosta reports on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s prison release, Alex Jones’s shameless cash grab as his conspiracy network Infowars shutters, and a new Surgeon General advisory warning against, uh, gun violence? Plus, China one-upped America’s lunar landing by visiting the far side of the moon and Josh Johnson shares some advice on how the U.S. can reassert its supremacy. Also, Lewis Black tackles big companies like Chick-fil-A and Apple, as well as fire departments and hospitals, expanding into the summer camp space. And, Peter S. Goodman, New York Times global economics correspondent and author of “How the World Ran Out of Everything: Inside the Global Supply Chain,” discusses American business and consumer reliance on a rickety supply chain, the need for anti-trust enforcement, and creating a more resilient supply chain that’s not just optimized for big box retailers and investors.
