Jon also goes over why Thanksgiving is the second most important day every year, after Columbus Day, and how Hitler drew inspiration from the slaughter of Native Americans.

bonus: Matt talks about being an "insufferable" Civil War History nerd when he was in middle school. https://www.patreon.com/posts/22742080 Related bonus: Matt Karp, who will be joining Matt Christman for our live taping Civil War History-themed Katie Halper Show (date, TBD)talks to me about why the Dems are "handcuffing themselves before the battle".
Matt talks about fascism, pseudo-woke gatekeepers, how and why Chapo appeals to the audience it does, and how the Left can maybe win. He also trashes some really stupid and counterproductive liberal hot takes like "economic anxiety doesn't influence people's politics," universal and class-based programs are only good for white people etc. He posits that for fascism to be here, we'd need a more robust Left, which we don't have at the moment. We also reminisce about the live Katie Halper Show taping with Chapo Trap House, which was the first time Matt met Felix in person, and which Matt still considers "one of the best" times of his life.

on this spooky episode, we celebrate Halloween with Leslie Lee by chatting about scary movies and the greatest horror story of all, which would be Hillary Clinton running for president in 2020. Leslie talks to us about being a black raver, knowing white ravers who dressed up as stereotypes of "ghetto" Black people for Halloween being called white for having Leftist politics. Plus we discuss gay horror movies, the radical politics of "The Purge" movies, Bill Clinton's book, and why it kills off the first lady. Gabe does a great Bill Clinton impersonation! Stand by for our bonus on where we talk about the film Mandy, hippy-punching, Linus Roache's penis, Ronald Reagan and whether we'd rather be stuck on a desert island with him or Donald Trump.

Bonus: Roger Waters on Brazil's election https://www.patreon.com/posts/22343702
Mariana Simoes talks about the elections in Brazil and why and how someone like Jair Bolsonaro, who openly praises torture and the country's military dictatorship, could become president of the largest country in Latin America. She tells me about the rise in hate crimes and violence that has been spurred by Bolsonaro's rhetoric and what happened to her on the street when she threw out a Bolsonaro flyer that someone had handed her.

Plus we all talk about Amsterdam, the lie that is the cliche about how something is like "riding a bike," sex work and more.
