FAKE THE NATION #119
OCTOBER 18, 2018
"Cristen Conger (Unladylike) and Benari Poulten (The Nightly Show) join Negin to discuss the geopolitical implications of the missing Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Then, the panel asks: If the Democrats win the House, is a quest for impeachment politically savvy? Plus, they unpack New York Times critic Wesley Morris’s essay “The Morality Wars” and how social justice and representation impact how we talk about art."

Benari Poulten:  

"This is like at the start of World War II as Germany was consolidating power and Japan was consolidating power. Instead of having FDR as president we had Charles Lindbergh, who was sympathetic to their causes and was a willing partner. 

That’s sort of what the deal is right now on the world stage. There is a consolidation of power happening. There are dictatorships that are enhancing and growing their armies. 

And we don’t seem to be on the side of the good guys now."
