This week, Joshua Holland kicks off the show with the latest reporting in the bizarre story of Representative-elect George Santos, whose entire biography appears to be a pack of lies--and who just might be some kind of Manchurian Candidate. 

Then we're joined by Michael Grunwald, the veteran journalist and co-host of the Climavores podcast, to talk about his recent New York Times piece looking at how destructive our agricultural processes are for the environment--and what innovative solutions we may see in the future.

And then Brandi Buchman, a senior staff writer at Daily Kos, tells us about the significance of the January 6 Select Committee issuing criminal referrals for Donald Trump and several of his henchmen and also gives us a preview of the Proud Boys' upcoming trial for seditious conspiracy and other charges related to the Insurgency of Dunces.
