loved this episode
Again, good to interview all types of people. it is just notable that this interview is with yet another idiot who mistakes and misunderstands, he is either ignorant or is purposely twisting facts to support his progressive narrative. I won't judge him by saying that I know in what lane be should be put. I just know that he is wrong.
Happy that he brings on any guest. Thus guest is very dishonest about the origin and philosophy of wokism. It is not overly enthusiastic liberalism. It is anti-liberal in both its post-modernist and Marxist foundations. It removes the individual and replaces it with the group identity. It assumes every interaction is one of racial or gender power differential. It denies objective approximation of knowledge. It is power hungry instead of empowering.
Cenk couldn't handle Alex Jones even with the help of his team of old jerks youtube. He gonna take on the democrat party? Zzzz
I could have listened to another 2 hours of this guy!
Legion of skanks aren't alt right. What an incredibly dumb statement.
"Horses are stupid?" You wait until Snuffy's hears about this!
I appreciate your show
if you love something. privatize it
this one made me feal like an objectovist
I will be buying stock in Relentless Flowers international. I think this is a service the county needs.
spoiler. after his interview with Tapper on CNN I'm pretty sure he hasn't even read the LP platform.
Way too much peddling of the "big cities would control everything" myth in here. A straight popular vote would be terrible for the reasons stated otherwise but the math really isn't there for this one. Little reason to be considering how a state or a city would vote when it would be down to a question of individual votes of equal value.
If you're the Garfunkel of the group that means you're the one who can actually sing.
Two opposable thumbs way up. Thanks for all you've done, and will do.
You should work with Tom Woods
I am enjoying your show. I love the mix of humor and intellectual discussions.
