The Nation’s Eric Alterman (@Eric_Alterman) joins us to discuss Elliot Abrams’ war crimes. Also: Isabel Gillies (@isabelgillies) returns to discuss her new book ‘Cozy: The Art of Arranging Yourself in the World.‘

The Nation’s Eric Alterman (@Eric_Alterman) joins us to discuss the career of Elliot Abrams, Trump’s pick for special envoy to Venezuela. From Guatemala to Nicaragua to El Salvador, Abrams has a long history of supporting atrocities and genocide when it has furthered US interests to do so. He was also convicted of lying to Congress about the US role in the Iran-Contra affair. Alterman goes over this man’s crimes and explains why his career has proven so durable. Spoiler alert: It’s a club, and he’s in it.

Trump talks about declaring a national emergency, references the Muslim ban. Would the Supreme Court dare to set such a precedent?

Actress and author Isabel Gillies (@IsabelGillies) joins us to discuss her new book, ‘Cozy: The Art of Arranging Yourself in the World.‘ Channeling the Danish idea of “hygge,” Gillies seeks to help people with the task of “learning to identify the innermost truth of yourself and carrying it into the world, no matter your environment.”
