  • Ben Shapiro and The Ilhan Omar Controversy

    09/03/2019 Duration: 19min

    In this episode, I break down Ben Shapiro's response to the Ilhan Omar controversy with facts, reason, and logic. I want to convey the bad-faith nature of these right-wing commentator's arguments. Shapiro isn't interested in a "battle of ideas", rather he wants to score political points super-serve his base. I also have a substantive discussion on Israel-Palestine and attempt to make sense of the Ilhan Omar smears.

  • Venezuela: A Progressive Take

    03/03/2019 Duration: 17min

  • 2020 Candidate Power Rankings (So Far)

    18/02/2019 Duration: 29min

    We rank all of the candidates for president who have announced so far from a progressive perspective. This is how progressive I believe each of the candidates actually is and who I would vote for if the election were held today. Enjoy!
