Episode #37: Impeachment and Inquiries

In this episode of the podcast, Josh and Ian discuss the recent and historical impeachment of U.S. President Donald J. Trump. They talk about how rare impeachments are, and what sort of behavior leads to impeachment. They also discuss the nature of inquiries into presidents, what counts as evidence against presidents, the language used by Republicans and Democrats surrounding the impeachment, the Afghan Papers, and the consequences of a speedy and hasty impeachment of the president in general.

On this week's segment of NBSNews, Josh and Ian discuss the recent parliamentary elections in the U.K. with a Tory (Conservative Party) majority, and what that means for the looming Brexit "deal-or-no-deal" situation. They talk about how comparisons between Donald Trump and Boris Johnson are often conflated and shallow, and discuss the real differences between the two. They finish the segment by discussing how immigration seems to be the core issue for nationalism across the U.S. and Europe, and how it leads to the claims of neo-fascism among conservative leaders.
