It was a long-time coming, but the point his relatively innocuous candidacy becomes dangerous is when he foments racial unrest and Islamophobia, which he did this week by suggesting Muslims should carry ID cards and be registered in a national database. Awesome. Also, my Penn & Teller: Bullshit episode finally came out, and I received a response from Penn Jillette himself. Here’s the video (link to his response in the sources below): Special thanks to Harry’s for sponsoring this episode. And thanks to Harry’s and our listeners for supporting this show for the rest of the year.

And here’s that David Letterman clip where Trump A) doesn’t know where his clothes are made and B) gets busted on outsourcing jobs & manufacturing: Letterman suggested shutting down the factory in China and opening one up in New York, and Trump said, “I’m for it!” And here’s another clip of him from 1999 proposing the biggest tax-hike ever.
