On this week's Fake the Nation, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by comedian/filmmaker Dani Faith Leonard and author/podcaster Elise Loehnen. Together they dive into the Cracker Barrel logo drama and a new reality TV shows about virgins. On the political front they wonder how should DC respond to its National Guard troop occupation, plus Trump's particular relationship to windmills. On the money front, they look at a new plan among some Gen Z'ers to get really stinkin' rich in your 20's so you can chill the rest of your life.
