Hopelessness Is a Resource for the Tyrannical: Katie Couric with David Frum

<p>Katie sits down with David Frum, Atlantic writer and host of an eponymous podcast, to take stock of a dizzying news cycle: a government shutdown framed around false claims about healthcare for immigrants, a surreal Quantico meeting where military leaders were treated as political props, and Donald Trump&rsquo;s vow to punish his opponents through prosecutions. Frum explains how the U.S. budgeting system turned into a "failure machine,&rdquo; what&rsquo;s happening to Supreme Court neutrality, and what it means when Trump spreads vulgar AI videos of his opponents. Frum&rsquo;s bottom line? This might be a fire hose of news, but it's our duty as citizens to keep up, not tune out.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
