Ep 57 | Airline Chaos, (Un)Happy The Elephant, Jan. 6 Hearings, FDA vs. Smoking

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start by explaining the chaotic state of air travel these days, before turning to yet more damning updates on the police response in Uvalde and a breakthrough in the Senate on gun reform. The hosts then review what we’ve seen from the January 6 committee’s hearings so far and discuss what their case will ultimately amount to. Rikki walks us by the trunk through the fascinating legal case of Happy the Elephant as the hosts debate the concept of legal personhood and where it should be applied, and Cory brings us an update on the most sweeping regulation on cigarettes ever attempted. Finally, Ravi gives us one of his trademark radical ideas.
