Author Thomas Frank (https://twitter.com/thomasfrank_) (https://tcfrank.com/) joins Ben Burgis to discuss the history and the present day reality of the Democratic Party. Some of Frank’s books include, “Listen, Liberal: Or, Whatever Happened to the Party of the People?,” “What’s the Matter with Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America,” and “The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule,” among others.
Frank cofounded and edited “The Baffler” (https://twitter.com/thebafflermag) magazine. His most recent book is “The People, No: A Brief History of Anti-Populism,” which discusses how the term “populism” is currently used to describe the racist philosophy of Donald Trump and European extremists, but that populism is actually “an account of enlightenment and liberation; it is the story of American democracy itself, of its ever-widening promise of a decent life for all.”

Everyone online wants everyone else to “stay in their lane.” Most of the time it’s a more valid-sounding way of telling someone to shut up or that you think what they’re saying is wrong or stupid, but sometimes it’s a more revealing look into who people think has a right to speak about different subjects.
Professor Nicholas Kiersey (https://twitter.com/nicholaskiersey) joins Ben Burgis and they discuss some of the online discourse surrounding who can have an opinion on what that was seen during the last election cycle.

Ben Burgis (https://twitter.com/BenBurgis) gets a little wild and chats with Christopher Patton, who curates a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/IC_ActivityLog) with excerpts from the Iowa City Police Log. Two guest voiceover artists do the show the favor of dramatically interpreting some random police log items.
Patton’s project is both entertaining and illuminating when it comes to the reasons that some people deem appropriate to call the police. His book, “The Iowa City Police Log: Life and Strife In a Midwestern College Town,” is available for preorder here: https://littlevillagemag.com/product/pre-order-iowa-city-police-log-life-and-strife-in-a-midwestern-college-town/

Ben Burgis thinks that Marxism is incompatible with the relativism about truth or knowledge that seems to be advocated by some postmodern thinkers--you have to pick and you should be on Team Marx. Charles Wofford has a different perspective. Matt McManus moderates.
After the debate (at 10 PM EST) Ben's going to be over at the Callin app to take calls from anyone who wants to continue the conversation there:

An op-ed in the @Washington Post claimed that Critical Race Theory comes from... Immanuel Kant? Ben Burgis and Matt McManus discuss what Kant actually thought, what Critical Race Theory really is, and why neither of these things have anything to do with each other (or anything to do with the dumb caricature in the WaPo piece).
