Description

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-third episode, we explore the Think of the Children Fallacy, starting with Trump attacking trans people, and claiming people grab children to get across the border, and then how QAnon pivoted from wacky conspiracies to just lies.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage pretending their hardline stance on immigration is "for the children" and Farage and Peter Kyle MP squaring off about the Online Safety Bill.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Beauty and the Beast, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, and Futurama.

Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.

Then we talk about the Pentagon's press corps walking out.

And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
