In a desperate attempt to justify the kidnapping of Kilmar Abrego Garcia by Trump's goons, Fox TV's Jesse Watters declares that any Salvadorian wearing a Bulls hat must be a gangster because...Because he says so. Ben riffs. Jack White connects the dots between Abrego Garcia--currently lodged in an El Salvadorian prison--and Trump's slander of the Central Park 5. Be warned, people--it's a trial run to see what they can get away with. A few words about Trump's law-firm shakedown--straight out of The Godfather. Finally, the Trump administration edits the Naval Academy's library--Mein Kampf is in and Maya Angelou is out. Jack is a legendary journalist who wrote and edited for Time magazine.
