Show Notes

James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana take note of how many in the US seem to take little offense to being lied to by politicians they support, consider how many in the political class have reacted to this, and discuss George Washington’s warning to the country about the dangers of political parties (01:32).  The guys also discuss OPEC’s recent cut in oil production and how this exposes a way in which our politics could harm national security (54:38).
