Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with Jared Kushner’s big, beautiful, brazen payday from Saudi Arabia, raising $2 billion from the regime he stridently defended as the Trump administration’s lead man in the Middle East. Compensation for services rendered, or an investment in a second Trump term? The suspected gunman in Tuesday’s Brooklyn subway shooting is in custody, but the debate it’s renewed on NYC policing remains predictably heated. Elon Musk may be buying Twitter, if the platform’s board accepts a fittingly Twitter troll offer of $54.20 a share – emphasis on the 4/20. The “iron river” of U.S.-made firearms keeps on flowing south into Mexico. We’ll discuss how a longshot first-of-its-kind lawsuit from the Mexican government aims to stop the bloodshed by going after gunmakers. And the New York Times is telling its reporters to consider spending less time on Twitter, drawing the ire of the quintessential extremely online reporter, Taylor Lorenz. Finally, we wrap things up with a quick reaction to Bill Maher’s recent appearance on Joe Rogan to talk about centrism.

Brain scanning experiments reveal how psilocybin works to relieve severe depression. Psilocybin is the psychedelic substance in 'magic mushrooms'. The psychoactive chemical is currently in clinical trials in the UK and US as a potential treatment for depression and other mental illnesses. Professor David Nutt of Imperial College London tells Roland about the research
Also in the show, worrying findings about the increase in premature deaths because of air pollution in growing cities in tropical Africa and Asia. An international group of climatologists has found that the tropical storms which struck Mozambique, Malawi and Madagascar in early 2022 had been made more intense by human-induced climate change.
