Episode Notes
On the Gist, stripping Majorie Taylor Greene of her committee membership, but Republicans still want to keep her around.
In the Interview, it’s coup talk. It’s part one of an interview with Jonah Blank, an anthropologist, writer, author, and former policy director for South and Southeast Asia on the staff of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Blank joins Mike to talk about the Myanmar coup, the default of cheering on populism, conflicts and communal violence, and the threat to democracy. Blank is author of Arrow of the Blue-Skinned God, and Mullahs on the Mainframe, and currently based in Singapore. He’ll be back on the show next week.
In the spiel, Representatives Nancy Mace and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are fighting.
