Argument to Moderation - FT#114
Manage episode 350242832 series 2322975
In the one hundred and fourteenth episode we explore the Argument to Moderation Fallacy, starting with Trump losing a negotiation to buy a 727 and refusing to compromise on border security, no matter what Ted Cruz claims. Then we talked about Elon Musk's theory that he's being fair because he's annoyed everybody.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Rishi Sunak compromising on windfall taxes on oil companies (kind of) and Mick Lynch pointing out the futility of trying to meet the UK Government in the middle on workers' pay.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Lost in Space, the Big Bang Theory, and South Park.
Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which this week, since it's Christmas, Mark has to guess which one of three tweets by Nick Adams (Alpha Male) was actually made up by Jim
Then we talk about Jack Smith, the special prosecutor assigned to investigate Trump.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
