The Economist named former Foreign Secretary and famed unmade bed Boris Johnson as its idiot of the year. Ed Luce of the Financial Times, joins our discussion to explain why. Then Evelyn Farkas of the German Marshall Fund and Rosa Brooks of Georgetown University Law School defend America's honor by describing the enormous idiot surplus America enjoys these days. In addition, they also discuss Trump-Russia, Maria Butina, and the noose slowly closing around the American president. So, as you can imagine, much fun was had by all. Please join us.
