    May 22 2025

    It’s Kai’s last day as a regular co-host of “Make Me Smart” and he’s got a solid rant (and two bleeps). We’ll get into the Trump administration’s push to block international students at Harvard, thretening one of American’s biggest exports: higher education. Plus, we’ll unpack the Supreme Court’s 4-4 split over a separation of church and state case. And, could penguin poop be a tool against global warming?

    • “Supreme Court deadlocks, blocking creation of first religious public school” from The Washington Post
    • “Trump Administration Halts Harvard’s Ability to Enroll International Students” from The New York Times
    • “Harvard University Loses Student and Exchange Visitor Program Certification for Pro-Terrorist Conduct” from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
    • “Stop making cents: US Mint moves forward with plans to kill the penny” from AP News
    • “Penguin Poop Could Limit Global Warming’s Impact on Antarctica” from Bloomberg

A good podcast with knowledgeable people. Would be better if left-wing biases were reduced or removed.

Good podcast focusing on up to date events
