Week in Review: Sweden’s Rising Hard-Right, Turkey’s Economic Woes, NYT Slams Constitution, and Much More

Show Notes

  • Swedes will be heading to the voting booth soon and polls suggest a hard-right, anti-immigrant party could become the nation’s most popular party. Recent violence apparently perpetrated by Muslims could increase the chances of this political shift.
  • Turkey is having serious economic problems—and it looks like they could actually drive Turkey and Europe into a closer relationship.
  • President Donald Trump’s critics say he is exceeding his job description as outlined in the Constitution. But the New York Times says the U.S. Constitution isn’t the solution—it’s the problem.
  • We’ll also talk about Japan working to revise its pacifist postwar Constitution, emerging details of a proposed deal between Israel and Hamas, U.S. claims that Russia is planning to attack orbiting satellites in a future conflict, and Donald Trump declaring war on opioids.
