Journalist and co-editor of Peoples Dispatch Zoe Alexandra discusses Kissinger’s legacy in South America, in Chile and beyond. She discusses how Kissinger’s actions affect how countries in the region see the United States, whether the United States has attempted to remedy the harm done by Kissinger’s policy decisions, and how the world is reacting to Kissinger’s passing.
The Misfits also discuss health insurance companies using AI to refuse coverage to elderly Americans, the quiet cancellation of Mehdi Hasan’s show on MSNBC, and a burger overhaul.
