Welcome to Dangerous Ideas. How are you? What's going on? I'm going to give you a rundown. I'm going to start out by giving you a rundown, and then we'll get into some of it much, much deeper. That sounds naughty. Okay, here's a quick news rundown at the top of the show. The German parliament has accepted Chancellor Schultz's invitation to withdraw its confidence in him.
