## About this episode

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Sunrise Movement have propelled the Green New Deal to the forefront of the Democratic agenda, framing the climate crisis as a generational moonshot akin to the FDR era. The proposal seeks a ten-year national industrial mobilization to achieve carbon neutrality while integrating Medicare for All and a federal jobs guarantee. Critics argue the plan serves as a vehicle for socialist restructuring that could threaten the petrodollar and trigger hyperinflation.

William Barr returns to the spotlight as the nominee for Attorney General, bringing a resume that includes a previous stint in the role under George H.W. Bush and a history with the CIA. Meanwhile, General Mark Milley is tapped for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, arriving with a reputation for blunt leadership and a commitment to enforcing the liberal world order established at Bretton Woods. In the tech sector, Patreon and PayPal face scrutiny for de-platforming figures like Milo Yiannopoulos, a trend linked to the immense gatekeeping power of Tim Cook and the Apple App Store. International tensions rise following the arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou in Canada, a move suspected of being a deep state maneuver to disrupt trade negotiations between Donald Trump and China.

General Mark Milley shares a bizarre anecdote regarding his dentures becoming lodged in a baguette during a diplomatic visit to French troops in Afghanistan. In the entertainment world, Kevin Hart steps down from hosting the Oscars following a controversy over decade-old tweets, while Jason Momoa sees a surge in popularity following a high-rated appearance on Saturday Night Live.
