Friendship Isn’t Endorsement | Ep 772

Naima Troutt took help from pro-life women she had just debated, then later mocked Charlie Kirk’s murder. Andrew Wilson went after Brandon Tatum for staying friends with Candace Owens while rejecting her Kirk story.
Same move both times: treat a foul take, or a friend’s bad take, as proof you should be shut out. There's a better answer.

A Cult Of Ignorance (We Are Our Own Bread & Circuses) | Ep 762
Send me feedback!
Isaac Asimov warned that America’s “right to know” is meaningless when people refuse to do the work of knowing. Forty-six years later, little has changed. We outsource our judgment to influencers and politicians, then act shocked when critical thinking collapses. The Owens-Wilson debate and the rise of Jerry Springer-style influencer pomposity show we are still the same America Asimov described. We are still our own bread and circus.
