See Freddie LIVE at our June 14 event! http://www.give2wbai.org/product_p/ot0738-sp17.htm
On this episode we talk to writer and academic Freddie DeBoer about political violence, no platforming and how the political Left needs more, not less, theory. Freddie argues against political violence and restriction of free speech (no-platforming) as viable tactics, saying, that the appeal some on the Left find in the idea of political violence "is more about managing disappointment that asking how we can actually win." Because "the Left lacks power in most contexts," no platforming would mean, "we're not going to be the censors. We're going to be the censored." Guest co-host Josh brings us headlines in the voice of a certain singer from the 1990s.

This was supposed to be a bonus episode, but it's too good to not be available for all! We talk to the Trillbillies Workers' Party about their podcast, one of the top ten Left podcasts to come out of Appalachia. Based out of Whitesburg, KY, Trillbillies Tanya Turner, Tom Sexton, and Tarence Ray blow J.D. Vance and his "Hillbillies Elegy" book out of the... coal mine... We talk to them about the white privilege that protects coal miners from the Black Lung which kills them, a homecoming welfare Queen AND King!, sex ed, pervie Marxist professors, and that one time Tom worked at the Clinton Foundation and had a heart to heart with Hillary Clinton's brother. Before that, Gabe and I go over the news, the Roger Stone documentary, and the time I saw Roger Stone, but didn't notice because I was too distracted by Alex Jones, who was waddling behind him. As you will see, there is a lot of REM in this episode. Coming soon: bonus content from this ep, which includes a discussion about J.D. Vance and the stupid racism vs. economic anxiety false dichotomy.

A member of DSA(Democratic Socialists of America), kamau worked for the Bernie Sanders campaign and was endorsed by Sanders and Our Revolution. Councilman kamau (South Fulton, Georgia City Council District 6)talks to us about the walk out he organized as a 12-year-old, Hillary Clinton's hot sauce, Bernie Sanders' messaging, why we need Black & Brown candidates, & why he can't tell the difference between Neil Diamond & Paul Simon.

We talk to Angela Nagle about her forthcoming book "Kill All Normies: Online culture wars from 4chan and Tumblr to Trump and the alt-right" about how liberals kinda sorta emboldened the Alt Right by being so grating. OK. My words, not Angela's. She's smarter and more nuanced, of course. Make sure you look out for the RIchard Spencer Corky St. Clair mashup. They may or may not be the same person. Also, something kind of meta is that I CANNOT tag RIchard Spencer in this soundcloud.

We talk to Rashad Robinson, the executive director of Color of Change about how they got Bill O'Reilly fired (finally!). Rashad also talks about organizing under Trump and finds the perfect movie analogy for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. But first Gabe and I talk about abortion, the death penalty and everything in between. We also bring some bad news to the people pushing the Bernie Bro myth and have a special report form Carl Beijer!
Make sure you come for the bonus content in which I share my story about meeting Sean Hannity and Sarah Jaffe breaks down the hypocrisy of the Democrats and mainstream feminists when it comes to abortion. Trigger warning: she criticizes Bernie, too.

I talk to Rania Khalek the day before she heads back to the Middle East to report from Lebanon, Iraq and Syria. Rania talks about what nobody wants to say about Syria, the efforts to ban her from speaking, and the claim that she has a "generic Druze position," which she uses trickery to conceal. We also talk to Ben Norton about the 5 best (or worst) hype men for the Syrian War (a bunch are at The New York Times), and we talk to Nando Vila about Brian Williams & how little we've learned from Iraq.

Dating While Socialist Bonus Ep https://www.patreon.com/posts/8888812
On this episode, Gabe Pacheco and I talk to Erin Neff of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) about how Bernie Sanders AND Trump helped socialism grow: "Bernie planted the seeds and then Trump sh*t on them." Plus, how woke is Trump? How political is The Wizard of Oz? How helpful are dogs to homeless people? Then Erin and break down Susan Bordo's piece "The Destruction of Hillary Clinton," paragraph by paragraph. It's a good time.

Bonus: extra interview with Allegra Love https://www.patreon.com/posts/8554342
On this episode we talk to immigration lawyer Allegra Love about what undocumented workers can do and what we can do to support them. Then we talk to Christine Henderson of Equal Justice USA, about Rick Scott's unprecedented removal of a state attorney who won't be seeking the penalty. She happens to be the first African American state attorney in Florida's history. At the very same time, another state attorney, Katherine Fernandez Rundle, is still in power after deciding not to prosecute a single person involved in the death of a schizophrenic African American inmate who was burned to death in a shower whose temperature was caused by guards. It turns out Rundle has two loser sons with multiple arrests. They're alive, however, and one is even a lawyer. I go over Rundle's pathetic and dishonest q & a on why she won't prosecute anyone. Plus Gorsuch's demon mother and demon voice.
