Matt

We break down the Trump press conference, which, like everything else we’ve seen the last 18 months, was bizarre. It was supposed to be about conflicts of interests, but ended up being dominated by the infamous “Golden Showers” memo. 

Also, some additional insight into how the Trump administration might shape up. Former Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson appeared earlier today before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for his Secretary of State Confirmation Hearing. But confirmation is far from assured. We explain later.

And, one of the members of the dirtbag left is on the show to talk about failson’ing. Matt Christman from the hit podcast Chapo Trap House joins us to discuss the appointment of Jared Kushner to a job in the White House.

Broadcasted from the Radio Sputnik studios in Washington, DC.

Bonus Episode: The 28th Messidor of Matt Christman

Journalist Jacob Hamburger re-examines Allan Bloom's writing 30 years after The Closing of the American Mind - as campus politics and elitism are re-contested in American culture, conservatives and centrists alike are returning to Bloom's reactionary arguments in their attacks on today's left.

Jacob wrote the article "The Closing of the American Mind" for The Point magazine.

Elitism, campus politics and the ghost of Allan Bloom.

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
