2493 - India-Pakistan's Dangerous Standoff Intensifies w/ Irfan Nooruddin

Trump is touting his trade deal with the U.K., which he bragged will lead to an increased influx in the number of Rolls Royces to the U.S.  He also says that the mounting crisis at America's ports, which could lead to people losing their jobs, is proof that the U.S. economy isn't losing money. It's a real head scratcher.

After that, Georgetown professor of Indian politics Irfan Nooruddin is here to help contextualize the ratcheting of tensions between Indian and Pakistan over Kashmir. As Professor Nooruddin points out, both nuclear armed countries have domestic political and economic incentives to forge ahead with this dangerous tit for tat.

In the Fun Half, we're joined by the usual Thursday suspects, Matt Binder & Brandon Sutton to check in on Laura Loomer's crusade against top Trump administration officials, this time Pam Bondi (who she refers to as Pam Blondi). Tim Pool is upset that one of his favorite punk band's singers is trans and played at a Bernie rally. After that, Russ, Matt, Brandon and Binder watch some zany clips of Lindy Li talking to Tara Palmeri about her new book (kind of).
