Description
We kick off the episode with a discussion on Ben's highly controversial "scruffy elegance" and recap Ben's debate with Georgia elections official Gabriel Sterling. We then discuss how Atlanta's 11Alive News issued a questionable FACT CHECK regarding one our SB 202 tweets and we challenge the network's legal analyst to an unfiltered debate on the MeidasTouch Podcast. Next, we discuss the effectiveness of the Georgia boycotts and the incredible role played by the Meidas Mighty in pushing corporations to change their tune on voter suppression #RESULTS. Ben analyzes the meaning of "wokeness" and how the Right has weaponized the term into a slur. In the next segment, we welcome Rep. Grace Meng of New York's 6th congressional district to discuss to rise in anti-Asian hate crimes and the accomplishments of President Biden and the Democratic-controlled Congress. We wrap up the show with a discussion on infrastructure and ask the evergreen question: Between Matt Gaetz and Ron DeathSantis, what the hell is going on in Florida?
