Ex-GOP Congressman Justin Amash famously left the Republican party over Trump and Trumpism, and was the first Republican to come out against Trump during his first impeachment. Now an independent, he tells Jake why he became disenchanted with the two-party system, why he thinks Kevin McCarthy’s leadership is “Conniving and fundamentally dishonest”.
Plus, as more brands cut ties with with Kanye West over his anti-Semitic comments, Rabbi Noah Farkas and activist and actress Malynda Hale, join to discuss the rise of anti-Semitic incidents following West’s divisive remarks, and Trump’s recent comments on US Jews and Israel. And, physicist Jess Wade is shining a spotlight on female scientists who haven’t gotten their dues by writing over 1,700 Wikipedia biographies about their work. She tells Jake about the challenges of documenting this important history, and why honoring women scientists will help close the STEM gap.
