In light of the recent federal election, today's episode is a shorter one that keeps with the election theme! Join Kelly and Josh as they discuss:
- How BongBong Marcos, son of a brutal dictator, convinced the Philippines to elect him President.
- Why the collapse of Sri Lanka’s economy can be attributed to one family.
