The Divisive Power of Social Media and Collective Action

Jon Stewart unravels the absurd "weave" of Trump's Inauguration Day, from Joe Biden's buzzer-beater pardons to the tech billionaire VIPs, to the passive-aggressive transfer of power. Plus, the Best F**kin News Team has full coverage on day one of the second Trump era.

Brooke Harrington, economic sociologist and author of “Offshore: Stealth Wealth and the New Colonialism," discusses modern American oligarchies and the behavior of the ultra-rich. They talk Donald Trump’s “broligarchy” of American tech billionaires, how they differ from the oligarchs of Russia and the Gilded Age, and how a coalition of laborers is the only way to dismantle the system.
