Ep 26 // America's divorce settlement: Who gets what?

From time to time, someone proposes the ingenious idea of a so-called national divorce to finally separate blue and red states that, to some, seem irreconcilable in their differences. Sometimes the proposal comes from someone on the right, sometimes someone on the left – and sometimes it’s someone as completely ignorant as Marjorie Taylor Greene. Well, now it’s Matt’s turn to play out the scenario... So who gets what when the divorce is final? Or is it just too dumb to work, especially if the real divide is between urban and rural neighbors.
