The Do-Nothing Congress and the Benefits of Helping Ukraine Fight Putin
Manage episode 413438727 series 2508251
John discusses Speaker Mike Johnson's dilemma in trying to work with Democrats to pass a foreign aid bill to help Ukraine while keeping peace with hard line MAGA sycophants like MTG who are threatening to oust him if he does bring the bill for a vote. He also points out the foreign aid will be primarily spent on weapons built here in the US thereby helping the economy. Then, he interviews Emmy-nominated and Writers Guild Award-winning comedy writer Jesse Joyce on his new book “Killing the Guys Who Killed the Guy Who Killed Lincoln: A Nutty Story About Edwin Booth and Boston Corbett”. And rounding it out - John brings back Julie Francella and Simon Moya-Smith for their Native Voices segments. They chat about indigenous culture and they also play another round of "Did You Know?" to wrap up.
