So again, Matt sounds like a nice guy, but I'm super skeptical of his think tank. Your friend Tim Faust also came across as much more informed and qualified. Here's an article from April published in the Annals of Internal Medicine that critiques Trump and the Republicans by advocating for single-payer. This article then has references which can lead you further to other published policy papers, academic research on healthcare, and other resources. This stuff is out there if you go looking for it which of course no one in the Democratic party or Congress is doing. I think it's important to recognize, and the podcast often does, that we're not lacking for good policy on any issue. It's 100% a lack of political will in both parties. The policy and ideas are just sitting there waiting to be picked up by someone with power. Which argumes to focus on power, not starting a think tank.

Dr. Sebastian Gorka calls in to complain about last week's show. We talk about a shitty article in the New Republic featuring the lib thought experiment of seceding from Red America, an even worse book by AEI's Arthur Brooks. 

We sign off with a sequel to our Pre-Taped Call-In Show where we answer questions on air. If you wanted to ask a question, you should've called last week when we recorded the episode.

Special thanks to James Adomian

The New Republic's Sarah Jones joins us to talk about The Resistance and how we're in it, and actually lead it, so if you don't like us you're not part of it.

We then read maybe the most openly evil reading series ever. Matt gets so mad that at 1 hour 1 minute and 20 seconds neighbors tell him to calm down.
