Episode 223 - Fight Court (6/27/18)
Added 2018-06-28 03:28:59 +0000 UTC
A good news/bad news episode. Good News: democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's stunning victory in the NY-14 primary. Bad News: the dismal nightmare that is the U.S. Supreme court. Then a somewhat uplifting discussion around how the left may come out ahead in our current round of civility politics. Idk, we're all mid-week hungover, which more or less reflects our state of agony and ecstasy at the world ahead.
5 years later, I wonder if the mood around this election, and electoral politics has changed at all...

silly rastafarians sing about Babylon like she's bad
well, I ask you, "what's not to love about her?"
the fools say, "make america great again"
well, I ask you, "has she not always been great?"
"IS SHE NOT STILL?"
"do not mistake great for good"
"and if you cannot be just, be arbitrary"
it's so poetically just that we celebrate the evil empire with fireworks to trigger the ptsd in veterans of its unjust wars and fill the streets with drunken trash

1.Felix hasn't talked about busting on the air in weeks, that should be addressed
2.Please do a reading on the book "Trigger Warning" by William W Johnstone, it's about a troop college student responding to an active shooting on a college campus

Unlock! I dunno if the number of patreon-listeners who advocate unlocking makes a diff, but in case it does I'm adding my vote wholeheartedly!

i think the gotti review being free and the ones you mention being premium was just bad timing

Yeah 2nd the request to unlock this one. I'd love to share this with some friends; it's a good intro to Chapo. Good mix of funny and insightful.

Seems silly to keep this one premium. Since you guys never unlocked the Osita ep, would you mind unlocking this one for the general audience? I get that the election happened in the middle of the week, but AOC's win has apparently inspired more recruitment for DSA than even Trump's election. And given how much you talk here about the mainstream media's inadequacy at properly describing the meaning for her victory, why not spread the word? It's a crazy political moment right now, even my usually non-political friends are alternatively outraged about SCOTUS shit and excited by AOC's win. I think the free audience deserves better than just the silly Gotti review

Here's a theory, maybe the Dems are so incapable of opposing the GOP because they largely agree with the GOP's policies. They don't oppose the GOP's policies because they aren't opposed to the policies themselves. They only oppose the GOP's aesthetics which is why all libs can talk about is civility and manners.

Matt's joke about getting your sushi comp'd is a Stephen Paddock reference, so I'm guessing it was more along the lines of Will's Pelican Brief line on the David Faris episode. Should have gone with a Vicente Bermudez joke imo

Lexington is in southwest Virginia not NOVA. The politics are a lot different than the Beltway. Although you might find some former Raytheon employees teaching at vmi.

Liked this ep a lot. Would be great if relevant/political eps were free and Patreon pig feed was for movie reviews and Felix's white hot takes on controversial soundcloud rappers.
Also then Will wouldn't have to feel so Leonard Nimoy and could feel a little more Naomi Klein.

I feel like it'd be pretty tiresome to hear about why everyone ought to join a vanguard movement, tbh
