EPISODIUM
While thousands of government employees are working without pay during the ongoing government shutdown, Donald Trump is squeezing $230 million from the Department of Justice as compensation for the "damage" of being federally investigated. Michael Kosta breaks down the conflict of interest that's so bad, it even has legal experts saying "duh," and Troy Iwata gives a peek into what new grifts the president is cooking up in his corruption lab. Lewis Black takes a look at the new health craze tricking Americans into thinking they can have their protein-filled cake and eat it too. Ryan Holiday, creator of "Daily Stoic" and author of "Wisdom Takes Work," sits down with Michael Kosta to discuss teaching children Stoicism by example, how wisdom calibrates courage, discipline, and justice, the difference between schooling and true education, and the spectrum of Stoicism in public figures from Abraham Lincoln to Elon Musk.
