Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on Trump waiving the Russia sanctions passed in Lindsey Graham's name, two days before they took effect and three months after Graham died. Jared reads it as a thank-you note for the diesel deal and a warm-up for a rumored summit with Putin and Xi, a new Yalta for the authoritarian order replacing the American one. Then it's the riots in France, where Macron is rolling back civil liberties while Marine Le Pen waits in the wings promising law and order, and Albania, where protests against the Kushner resort keep growing, as Jared lays out the cycle in which liberals do the crackdown and fascists collect the reward. They close on the former Josh Hawley staffer who showed up at an Abdul El-Sayed event demanding he disavow the Muslim Brotherhood, and why the dual loyalty smear was run on Thomas Jefferson in 1800 and JFK in 1960 long before anyone aimed it at a Muslim running for Senate in Michigan.
