Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with Jared Kushner’s big, beautiful, brazen payday from Saudi Arabia, raising $2 billion from the regime he stridently defended as the Trump administration’s lead man in the Middle East. Compensation for services rendered, or an investment in a second Trump term? The suspected gunman in Tuesday’s Brooklyn subway shooting is in custody, but the debate it’s renewed on NYC policing remains predictably heated. Elon Musk may be buying Twitter, if the platform’s board accepts a fittingly Twitter troll offer of $54.20 a share – emphasis on the 4/20. The “iron river” of U.S.-made firearms keeps on flowing south into Mexico. We’ll discuss how a longshot first-of-its-kind lawsuit from the Mexican government aims to stop the bloodshed by going after gunmakers. And the New York Times is telling its reporters to consider spending less time on Twitter, drawing the ire of the quintessential extremely online reporter, Taylor Lorenz. Finally, we wrap things up with a quick reaction to Bill Maher’s recent appearance on Joe Rogan to talk about centrism.
