Guys, DON’T WORRY! Democrats have dusted off some old ideas they’ve had on the shelf for years to meet this moment of big structural change around policing. But stale ideas aren’t all they have…they’ve got stale candidates too! And progressives are on the move to take them out. We’ve got all this, plus the Georgia primary, Trump’s rally , and the latest on Covid-19 (hint: it’s getting worse).
BTL #346 - The Easter Spectacular - -4/12/20
What.A.Week! Somehow we saw both death of the American job market AND the resurrection of the stock market. Which means it must be Easter…and the end of capitalism! So celebrate both exciting events with us as we explore all the week’s news. We’ll debate the merits of Joe BIden’s veep options, tell you all the ways America is #1 (hint: it’s our number of Coronavirus cases) and as is our Easter tradition, Brent attempts to explain the story of Easter to Lila.
BTL #342 - Pandemic - 3/16/20
Well, we’re in a pandemic, guys. This week’s podcast was recorded from two different homes because…social distancing…but we didn't want to miss the chance to talk about Sunday’s bizarro audience-less debate, Trump’s lack of basic scientific understanding and denial, and all the increasing pandemonium of having no competent leadership during a dramatic pandemic. Also, sorry about your 401K. (And ours.) Maybe having basic social protections (but isn’t that socialism!?) isn’t such a bad thing after all?
BTL #338 - We Must NEVER Vote for Michael Bloomberg - 2/17/19
This week on the podcast, two major points: Liz Warren should stay in the race for president come hell or high water, and we must NEVER, EVER, NEVEREVER vote for Michael Bloomberg. Don’t speak it, don’t think it, don’t justify it. That and, of course, updates on New Hampshire, the race as it stands, Tuesday’s DOJ massacre, and so much more.
