Last night, Special Counsel Robert Mueller filed a two-part sentencing memo for Trump's former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, outlining his assistance with investigations and recommending no jail time. The memo offers new information about the Russia investigation’s progress and next steps. Independent journalist reporting on national security issues Marcy Wheeler of EmptyWheel joins me on the show today to talk all about it.
Trump has touted himself “Tariff Man” as he continues to put pressure on trade as a remedy to America’s economic anxieties. Author and senior associate for International Health at the National Bureau of Asian Research, Benjamin Shobert, writes about the dangerous inclination to pin such problems on China instead of looking to America’s own insecurities about the economy, the government, terrorism and national identity. He joins me on the show today to discuss his new book Blaming China: It Might Feel Good but It Won’t Fix America’s Economy.
