Circular Reasoning - FT#73

In the seventy-third episode we explore Circular Reasoning, starting with the GOP's reasons for not allowing witnesses in Trump's first impeachment trial, and then Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker arguing against legal weed. In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at the Boris Johnson kind of arguing both for and against lockdowns, and the UK Home Office questioning how sincerely a refugee's religious beliefs were. In an epic Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Catch-22, Idiocracy, Superstore, Erik the Viking, and the 2006 soccer World Cup Final. Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up. Then we talk about exactly how Trump screwed his supporters out of hundreds of millions in donations. And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
