The Daily Signal - #372: What Woke Scientists Don’t Get About Masculinity

Traditional masculinity is “harmful” -- but don’t take it from us. That’s the new verdict of the American Psychological Association. We discuss the APA’s new guidelines on counseling for men and boys, as well as the ideological shift behind it. Plus: President Trump’s policy in Syria seems to be in flux. Las month, he announced U.S. troops would be withdrawing, but now the timeline seems longer. Heritage Foundation Middle East expert Jim Phillips unpacks what Trump’s goals in Syria are, and how they can best be achieved. We also cover these stories:--President Trump is visiting the border today.--Trump tweeted that FEMA would stop sending money to California until the state improves its forest fire prevention practices.--Fifty-one percent of Democrats now call themselves liberals.--The first lady of California would like to be known as the "first partner".The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, SoundCloud, Google Play, or Stitcher.

Serious Inquiries Only - SIO175: Andrew Torrez on the FGM Court Decision

Andrew Torrez, of the hit legal pod Opening Arguments, was kind enough to hop onto the ol' SIO to break down the recent Michigan FGM law court decision. This is one of those times the law wasn't covered very well by some media outlets. It's great to have a genius lawyer we can trust to tell us what is actually going on! Along the way we get to learn about plenary powers, the commerce clause, and all kinds of other legal goodies! Here's the NYT coverage (which was more or less correct, but Andrew still gives us way more context!)

The Gist - The Kids Are Not All Right

On The Gist, the days are getting longer, the brand names shorter.

In the interview, millennial whisperer (or, you know, just plain millennial) Anne Helen Petersen recently diagnosed “the burnout generation” in a viral feature for BuzzFeed. Student debt, the 2008 financial crisis, relatively low levels of family wealth—all have contributed to their dire straits. But could their biggest burden be a mental one?

In the Spiel, President Trump’s unsurprisingly empty Oval Office address.
