As John explains them in the show, these psychics use two simple tactics to do that: cold reading and hot reading.

Automation is a complicated blessing. It makes our life easier by creating safe and more productive environment but it also eliminates job opportunities. Rather than dealing with the issue tactfully President Trump is doing what he likes the most- 'Blaming Others'. John explains that even automation kills job but jobs are being created in new sectors.

Also, Trump's Ukraine scandal leads to Impeachment inquiry.

John explains the troubling history, brutal enforcement and questionable results of China's highly controversial, decades long, one-child policy, a punitive measure conceived originally as the simplest way to handle overpopulation.
