## Resource

In this episode, Rania Khalek joins the show to discuss the Trump administration's escalating attack on Breakthrough News, which has been subpoenaed by Congress in what she describes as a coordinated McCarthyite effort to suppress dissent. Also, how China's decision to slash its oil imports by half has quietly stabilized the global economy following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, using its massive strategic reserves to prevent a catastrophic collapse and solidifying its position as a dominant global player. All that and more!  My livestreams are on Mon and Fri at 3pm ET/Noon PT and Wednesday at 8pm ET/5pm PT. I am one of the most censored comedians in America. Thanks for the support!
