Patrick tackles Pennsylvania Senator Doug Mastriano's creative interpretation of Star Wars vehicles as government surveillance, proving that some politicians can't tell their TIE fighters from their spy drones. Plus, we celebrate America's victory over murder hornets (yes, that was still a thing), and explore how universities are playing beat-the-clock with international students before Trump's inauguration. From dental floss tracking devices to Ivy League escape plans, it's an episode that shows sometimes reality is stranger than science fiction - even when politicians can't tell the difference between the two.
