19: Conspiratorial Thinking

First reactions and takeaways from the events in Afghanistan.

17: Cuba Part 2

In this episode I speak about the legacy of Castro both positive and negative.

16: Let's Talk About Castro

This episode delves into a document provided to me from a white nationalist. This document contains the pillars of belief from the right. This section introduces Christianity as key to the right and the origin of one world government/NWO conspiracies i.e. Anti-Semitism. It also describes how seemingly disparate groups such as ANTIFA, the Democratic Party, the Chinese Communist Party and Satanists can all be lumped into one source of opposition from the right.

15: The Red Pill 2

Part one of what will be a series on the Red Pill concept as described from a pdf shared among the extreme right not meant for public view.

In this episode we use critical race theory as a vehicle to discuss the right and why your conversations or debates never seem to get anywhere with them.

13: Critical Race Theory

In this episode we discuss some of the modern concerns regarding vaccine passports both real and fake. Then we look at America's past to find a surprisingly rich history of government involvement in vaccines and "vaccine passports."

12: U.S. Vaccine Passports and brief history of vaccination 

Aaron Burr

In this episode I discuss the previous question motion and how Aaron Burr of all people created the conditions for filibusters within the Senate. I focus on talking points from (D) Senima of Arizona and (D) Manchin of West Virginia while attempting to not vomit.

11: How is Aaron Burr preventing a $15 minimum wage?

In this episode I go over what the Senate parliamentarian does, how Budget Reconciliation works, the filibuster and why none of this should matter when it comes to a living wage in the wealthiest nation on earth.

10: Senate Procedures That Prevented #Fightfor15

Investigating the mind of the right from conspiracies to current events.

In this episode I give a run down of what the Democrat Covid Relief Act includes and equally as important what it does not include.

7: Covid Relief with no wage relief

In this episode we investigate who the "Iranian proxies" are for which President Biden has retaliated against. The story is complicated and involves groups you might not know of such as PMF with other's you probably do know such as al-Qaeda. One thing is certain. Biden administration claims are severely inadequate and attempt to compartmentalize an event that is directly tied to decades of foreign policy errors by the US and centuries of western colonialism.

6: Who is attacking American contractors in Iraq and why?

In this episode we investigate news items including Jim Jordan's ridiculous Cancel Culture propaganda and the Supreme Court case regarding Arizona's voting provisions and the Voter Rights Act of 1965. We rant on Biden's "retaliation" bombing and who/why the "Iranian linked militia" fired rockets in the first place...Hint: It's a familiar story.

5: No it's not Censorship, the Voting Rights Act, brunch and Biden bombs.

In episode 4 we explore questions around the obligations of elected representatives (Senate Republicans) Biden's executive orders vs legislation, differing reactions to Texas utilities'' deep freeze and exploration of the conservative mind/collective subconscious of white America in relation to riots.

4: Trump still not impeached, Biden honeymoon over, Texas is screwed and what the term "riot" means to white America

Episode 3 delves into political/cultural topics connected to Super Bowl LV. Russell Wilson receives $250K for the "Why Not You Foundation," review of Super Bowl ads including Robinhood..., player drama involving a lot of domestic abuse, Covid optics and a rant about Left-Twitter hot takes on Tom Brady.

3: Super Bowl Politics

In this episode we examine how Kyle Rittenhouse's bail/post-bail speaks to institutional racism, how Marjorie Taylor Greene could be emblematic of Trumpism, how the right's hypocritical assault on AOC is just too typical and why r/wallstreetbets speaks to a much larger social issue of retirement and savings.

2: Where in the world is Kyle? Marjorie Taylor Green is out. AOC and gaslighting. r/wallstreetbets isn't praxis

In episode 1 Bob runs through some under the radar news including Marjorie Taylor Greene lying, Bernie being called out for privilege, Silver reaching an 8 year high on the stock market and a rambling diatribe about the Covid-19 vaccine.

1: Episode 1: Parkland, Bernie a White Supremist? Vaccine talk.
