Summary

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the nomination of Kash Patel to head the FBI - a curious pick considering he was a major player in the January 6th coup attempt. Nevermind that, though, he'll just be busy weaponizing the FBI to attack anyone who disagrees with the administration. Then they have to analyze Trump's intention to use the military in an attack on Mexican soil - something out of their 80's-Action-Movie addled brains. President Biden pardons his son Hunter, which ends up being the chef's kiss ending on a presidency that was... something. They finish on Amazon workers across the world striking for better working conditions and the possibility they'll get what they want/deserve.

Own the good things when you can't. Own the good things. How was yours? It was good. I mean, it was very, very low key. I made some food. I watched a bunch of college basketball.
0:37.9	I watched my team get absolutely destroyed and humiliated in public. So, you know, everything's right in the world. Okay. As long as that adjust to your worldview and follows that, then I'm okay with it. I'm trying to have a good attitude. And I hope that everyone listening is as well. we have a whole slew of things that we have to get to today.

1:17.0	And the unfortunate news is that over the weekend, Donald Trump announced that, one,
1:21.7	he is firing FBI director Christopher Ray, who, let me check my notes.
1:26.1	Oh, yeah, he put into office back in 2017,
1:28.9	but that is what it is. And he is nominating absolute lunatic psychopath Cash Patel to run the FBI,
1:36.8	an absolute loyalist who has already said what he plans to do with absolute power. And now
1:42.2	we have that to look forward to. And it looks like the Senate's going to confirm and no problem.
1:46.3	Oh, is that right?
1:47.8	I mean, I haven't gotten the temperature quite yet on the Senate.
1:50.2	But the thing that's really, and it connects to this because, you know,
