Dave has been right for years calling the US election, and Jianggan has been reading too much Wechat media. In this episode we unpack some of Jianggan’s conspiracy ideas (don’t take it so seriously) but in-between we discuss a lot of the fundamental issues of current US politics, the deep state, why the presidency matters and much more. Lastly! We finally pin down Joon and hear his pitch for the current business venture he is pursuing.
