Summary

Joe takes issue with the (widely agreed upon) end date for this decade, and he walks Wilfred Frost through his logic. Joe also recounts tales from the Twittersphere, from the headlines to his personal strategies. NYT’s Cecilia Kang and The Guardian’s Alex Hern discuss streaming in the new decade. Former U.S. Congressman Barney Frank spars with former aide to President George H. W. Bush Joe Watkins and with Joe Kernen on how Democrats can compete with President Trump in 2020. Plus, are you hoping to pick up a new language in the new year? App and tech unicorn Duolingo might be able to help—even if your goal is learning Klingon.
