Business as a check and balance? Kai Ryssdal and Molly Wood talk about the reaction to President Trump's executive order on immigration.

Checks and balances: that’s a phrase you usually hear when we talk about the branches of government.  But on this week’s “Make Me Smart,” we discuss the possible changing role for corporations as they react to President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration.  

Plus, the robots are taking over, right? We talk to Scott Phoenix,  co-founder of Vicarious, a company that is trying to build a new kind of artificial intelligence. And Norman Lear, legendary television producer and writer, answers our “Make Me Smart” question: what is something you were wrong about that you were once sure of?

And don’t forget: we’ll be live on Facebook on Monday at 10:30 a.m. PST to talk about stories for next week’s podcast. 

None of us is as smart as all of us.

No matter how bananapants your day is, “Make Me Smart” is here to help you through it all— 5 days a week.

It’s never just a one-way conversation. Your questions, reactions, and donations are a vital part of the show. And we’re grateful for every single one.
