644: Insufficiently Apologetic Edition

In this week’s episode, the Supreme Court establishes “la la la I can’t hear you” as a parental right, the "Tuck Your Face" segment is about Tucker Carlson but also Ted Cruz's skin mask, and Ross Douthat will ask how a universe that wasn’t divinely ordered by a brilliant deity could create Ross Douthat.
