Tommy Vitor: 我们刚刚观看了一场美国总统在南草坪推销特斯拉的新闻发布会。显然这个人已经20年没开过车了。 Ben Rhodes: 我最喜欢的部分是他坐进红色特斯拉并感叹里面全是电脑。我们尽量避免这样做，但想象一下如果奥巴马或拜登做类似的事情会怎样。

Shownotes Transcript

Tommy and Ben discuss late-breaking news that Russia and Ukraine may agree to a 30-day ceasefire, Canada’s new Prime Minister and the rapidly escalating trade war with the United States that he’ll inherit, and the final death knell for USAID. They also talk about the irrational anger at the Trump administration’s direct talks with Hamas, and the Anti-Defamation League’s ludicrous support of the arrest of a Columbia university student for his role in pro-Palestine protests. Then they cover the recent violence in Syria between the new government and pro-Assad loyalists, and the ICC arrest of Rodrigo Duterte, former President of the Philippines. Then Tommy speaks to journalist and System Update host Glenn Greenwald about the Trump administration’s attacks on free speech, a realistic end to the war in Ukraine, Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s new FBI leadership, and censorship in Brazil.
