Hey EU, Sanction Jared and Ivanka
Summary
Hosts discuss the Trump administration's defiance of court orders with guest Ellie Mintz, arguing that Democrats must obstruct rather than legitimize the executive branch. They critique the Biden administration's failure to prosecute Trump and secure voting rights, urging voters to elect courageous candidates and repeal harmful laws like the PLCAA. The episode emphasizes that the US system lacks mechanisms to stop a democratically elected authoritarian, calling for global divestment from a rogue nation.
