08/21/24 • 33 min
In November, we’ll all go to the polls (seriously this is your reminder to vote) to decide who will have access to the nuclear codes. Insane right? We thought so too, so we got the details on the lay of the land when it comes to nuclear weapons around the world and what it really means for a prez to have the codes. And we got those deats from our gals the Federation of American Scientists [FAS], Eliana Johns & Mackenzie Knight. If you’re not sure what’s on the line this year, this episode will make it clear as day.
