    A majority of the US is now Under 40. Beirut rocked by an explosion. Trump's disastrous AXIOS Interview.

    This week on the Pop and Politics podcast we cap off a busy week of headlines that started with a disastrous interview by the President with AXIOS on HBO which aired on Monday. When confronted with figures about the deaths of Americans from the COVID-19 pandemic, Trump responded with "It is what it is." That is what he should be remembered for when he leaves office. We also discuss the massive explosion that rocked the capital city of Lebanon. A fire and massive blast happened at the Port of Beirut. More than 300,000 people have been displaced from their homes. And years of government corruption could prove to prompt more anger from the people of the country. And America is getting younger. A majority of the population is now under the age of 40. Millennials and Gen-Z now make up a majority of the US population. What does this mean for shifts in political power and conversation?

    Trump is a Threat to the Democracy. Biden Narrows in on his VP choice. Former KGB spy Details Russian Misinformation.

    This week on Pop and Politics, we discuss the narcissist-in-cheif Donald Trump and his ongoing effort to sow distrust in the upcoming election. His suggestion that the November election be delayed goes beyond threatening our democracy at home, but has ripple effects around the world. We also discuss the much anticipated decision of the presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden on who will be his running mate. There has been a lot of speculation, and a surprise name is rising as a potential contender. Lastly, we talk about a former Russian KGB spy detailing disinformation tactics ahead of the 2020 Election. The efforts of the Russian government to influence and spread dissent and chaos in the West - particularly the United States - should not be overlooked just months from a presidential election.
