In our first half hour we’re joined by Vancouver based activist Azza Robji to describe how the crisis arose, what are the costs and how activists in Canada can make a difference. And in our second half hour, two journalists, Steve Sahiounie from Syria and Youssra Abdulmalik from Sana’a in Yemen offer their perspectives of where the country is at now with recent moves by the new U.S. President.

Jeff Struggle Sessions w/ Leslie Lee III

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.

Matt Christman on the history of fascism & the liberal hot takes that enable Trump

News Brief: It's Not a "Fall From Grace", This Has Always Been Who Giuliani Was

Following Robbie Martin's 2-part podcast QAnon breakdown on Media Roots Radio, the anonymous (self- proclaimed) 'government insider', Q continued to post on the 8kun message board but appeared to be running out of steam, lacking the creativity and spark it once had. Trump has lost the election and gone into hiding and interestingly the anonymous poster known as Q decided to do the same, only posting 3 times total in the month of November. Unfortunately for the sitting president, Q now seemingly describes Trump as 'post-POTUS'. But what happens if or when Q stops posting? Has the QAnon movement become stronger than the identity itself? What the hell does this all mean? Robbie attempts to decipher all this from @ 01:16:00 onward. The co-founder of 8chan, Fredrick Brennan joins Robbie at the beginning of the episode to discuss his political trajectory and how he was intimately close to the technical backend of the 8chan website enough to have a plausible theory on who may be behind Q. Is it possible Jim and Ron Watkins, the father/son duo and owners of 8kun are currently posing as Q? Take another journey with Media Roots Radio into QAnon land to find out answers to these bizarre questions and more....
