Episode 144 | April 17, 2024: USC Cancels a Muslim-American Valedictorian over Fake Fears, Trump on Trial, and Biden's Flaccid Steel Tariffs
Note sull'episodio
Editorial Cartoonists and best friends Ted Rall (of the left) and Scott Stantis (of the right) discuss and debate the issues of the week.
First up, a USC valedictorian is denyed her earned right to speak. USC authorities claim fear of violence without any actual evidence. Meanwhile, Ted makes a plea to pro-Palestinian protestors around the country. Lastly, Ted and Scott tie this segment up with the long view on the Iran/Israel conflict, where it stands and where it goes next.
Second segment finds our hosts in agreement concerning the lawfare being waged against Donald Trump. Their concern is born, not out of love of the former President, but respect for justice.
Lastly, Ted and Scott switch places on the issue of trade. In particular, President Biden's proposed tripling tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum.
