Summary

After a Scott-free August, Prof. Galloway himself is back! On his triumphant return to the show, Scott talks with Jessica about the misguided MAHA movement, and how the Trump administration is decimating America’s public health institutions. They also look ahead to Congress’s fall agenda, as both parties will try and negotiate around the possibility of a government shutdown — again. Plus: why was Beijing the real winner of last month’s Trump-Putin summit? Scott and Jessica explain, with help from the new Prof G podcast China Watch, and discuss how the U.S. forced India right into Russia and China’s arms. Follow Jessica Tarlov, @JessicaTarlov.
