Matt, who recently reviewed DeSantis's book The Courage to Be Free, tells Ben and the GTAA crew about some of the governor's worst ideological hypocrisies. The crew also assesses his chances vs. Trump, and analyzes Ron's inherent weaknesses as a candidate. Side-note: apologies for microphone rattling, the issue has been fixed.

Writer Luke Savage joins Ben Burgis to discuss some ridiculous premises that are being put forth about electoral politics and how Democrats need to shift their platforms and make clear that they don’t support “fringe” Leftist ideas. A clip of Chris Cuomo interviewing James Carville is used throughout as a pretty complete example of the many stupid things that are being said by the media and by talking head libs. For example, bail reform becomes “the Democratic mentality of letting everyone out of prison.” Defund the police is “lawlessness,” and Leftists are voting Democratic mayors in because they are scared of murder. (There is no way to know the exact politics of who voted any mayor into power.) The larger point, of course, is that James Carville doesn’t know what he’s talking about and none of us should listen to him. He thinks we’re dangerous radicals, and that’s fine. Hopefully he’s right. THIS IS A PREVIEW OF PATRON-EXCLUSIVE GTAA SEASON 2 EPISODE 21. Independent creators rely on your support to create the content you want!
