In November, we’ll all go to the polls (seriously this is your reminder to vote) to decide who will have access to the nuclear codes. Insane right? We thought so too, so we got the details on the lay of the land when it comes to nuclear weapons around the world and what it really means for a prez to have the codes. And we got those deats from our gals the Federation of American Scientists [FAS], Eliana Johns & Mackenzie Knight. If you’re not sure what’s on the line this year, this episode will make it clear as day.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
