Every Insecure American Should Have a “Binky” Like Trump’s Natalie Harp
We begin with the Supreme Court allowing Trump to build his ballroom which will be an enduring blight on the land inflicted on us by a vulgarian who will be remembered as the worst president in the history of the United States. Joining us to discuss the Trump economy and how every insecure American should have a ‘binky” like Trump’s Natalie Harp is Harold Meyerson, one of the nation’s best-known progressive columnists and editor-at-large of The American Prospect. He’s also been a Washington Post columnist and executive editor of LA Weekly, and has written for a number of prominent magazines and newspapers. We discuss his latest articles at The American Prospect, “Clone Natalie Harp! Every insecure American deserves a Natalie” and “Trump’s ‘Golden Age’? Well, Yes—for Dollar Stores.”
With Google Caving to Trump to Rename Lake Ontario Lake America, Canadians Are Now Thinking They’ll Have to Defend Their Country From an American Aggressor
Then with Google caving to Trump to rename Lake Ontario Lake America as Trump leans on Apple to change their maps, we examine Canadians’ attitudes towards the need to defend themselves against a possible aggressor with those believing an attack from the U.S. most likely, 10 points higher than for either Russia or China. Joining us is Thomas Homer-Dixon, founder and Executive Director of the Cascade Institute at Royal Roads University in Victoria, British Columbia. For nearly two decades, he directed the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Toronto and until recently was the founding director of the Waterloo Institute for Complexity and Innovation at the University of Waterloo. His books include The Upside of Down: Catastrophe, Creativity and the Renewal of Civilization; The Ingenuity Gap: Can We Solve the Problems of the Future?; and Commanding Hope: The Power We Have to Renew a World in Peril. He has an op-ed at The Globe and Mail we discuss, “How stiff is Canada’s spine? A poll suggests we may be ready to sustain the costs of our newfound defiance.”
