Denying the Antecedent - FT#144

In the one hundred and forty fourth episode we explore the Denying the Antecedent Fallacy, starting with Trump's lawyers claiming he's immune, Trump claiming Mueller had no evidence against him, and Rep. Debbie Lesko trying to 'gotcha' Robert Mueller.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Margaret Thatcher claiming the source of satisfaction is hard work, Kier Starmer claiming George Galloway wouldn't have won in Rochdale if they'd had a candidate, and Robert Jenrick claiming immigrants can't integrate into society if there's too many of them.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Little Miss Sunshine, Animaniacs, and American Dad.

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 Supreme Court taking up Trump's immunity case, and all the other court thingies which went badly for Trump since last we spoke.

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