Then, the Trump administration is both gutting the IRS and potentially weaponizing it against Harvard. The hosts discuss the consequences of politicizing the agency. Finally, Trump's trade war keeps escalating as China refuses to back down. Is there any chance for a good outcome?

Kareem Rahma, host of the viral web series Subway Takes, says he's been working since he was 14 and hasn't really taken a break. In high school, he worked service jobs.

This week on the show, Kareem explains why he's had so many jobs, including posts at Vice and the New York Times, and he discusses the financial maneuvering that allowed him to pivot to comedy in his 30s.
