The Grift Show
In a stunning display display of political incompetence and malfeasance, 8 democratic senators, with the blessing, tacit or otherwise, torpedoed the stunning gains they’d made in an historic electoral drubbing of the GOP less than a week earlier, but fortunately FOR AMERICA, we’re here to explain how it can, maybe, with a hitherto unsee lack of cowardice, might be able to undo (some) of the catastrophic damage.

Tucker Carlson interviewed Nick Fuentes in an attempt to launder the latter’s reputation and endear the former to a younger audience of ghouls. Asmongold then reacted to the interview. We then reacted to the reaction. It’s all very meta and the only two people out of the five involved who said anything worth listening to are Rev and Gonzo. You lucky folks get to endure the whole ordeal.

There are many reasons we can't seem to have nice things anymore. In this episode we explore (some) of the reasosn why.

It's obvious, or it at least should be, that white supremacy, as an ideology, brutally harms non-white people of all kinds. What's less obvious is how it also harms the overwhelming majority of white people as well.

One of the greatest misconceptions young men and boys often have is that their dissatisfaction with the world and the aimlessness they feel about their place within it is caused by feminism and their perception that it devalues men and thereby them. Rev. and Gonzo explain how this belief is one of the greatest tricks that patriarchy ever pulled in its rabid pursuit of its own continued existence, and how the manosphere helps it convince young men to enable their own emotional destruction. They also briefly discuss whether or not Taylor Swift has a cloaca.

Liberal democracy has a disease, and that disease is people like Ezra Klein going through their political lives under the delusion that facts and calm, reasoned, discourse is the secret to our current authoritarian descent, as if the world were written by Aaron Sorkin. It was not.

This week, beyond covering all the news that got lost in the aether due to Kirk-discourse dominating literally every minute of the news cycle for the last seven days, Rev and Gonzo begin part one of what will be a two part series on the rise and nature of the alt-right with a brief history of how the US managed to go from Nixon to Richard Spencer.

24 years ago today the trajectory of the United States was changed forever, inexorably leading to everything we're all dealing with today. Yesterday the trajectory of media punditry was also changed forever. Rev and Gonzo talk about both, almost exclusively.

The boys are back after a week off and this is a loud one. Rev and Gonzo cover all the week’s news that they can remember off the top of their ill-prepared heads, culminating in a much-needed, co-op diatribe about all the ways that everyone has caused nothing but infuriation with their nonsense.
info_outlineNot gonna lie, this is not an episode where we have what anyone could call a topic. Fortunately, we're often at our best when we're running entirely on vibes and getting sidetracked
You do get extended rants about Star Trek II and 7th Heaven, though, so you've got that to look forward to.
