Serious Inquiries Only - SIO199: The Problem with #Antifa

... is they get no credit for any good they do, and they get infinite sh*t for anything bad a masked person does, anywhere in the country ever. Today, the occupant of the White House tweeted that "ANTIFA" should be declared "an Organization of Terror." Well, this sounds like a good time for me to deliver to you an episode I spent hours developing back when Andy Ngo was attacked by someone, but hadn't ever recorded. So, here it is. Today's episode is about antifa and how we ought to be thinking about them, how we ought to put them into context, and why no one should give a sh*t about Andy Ngo.

Serious Inquiries Only - SIO198: Why No One Is Racist

.... according to Republicans. Hey folks, sorry for the long hiatus. At the end of the episode, I talk about why I haven't been recording this show.

The Daily Signal - #514: Purple States on the Big Issues

Purple states can swing either way and often end up deciding our elections. So, it's worth asking what people in those states think about the issues dominating politics. Heritage Action for America, the sister organization of The Heritage Foundation, recently carried out a wide survey of Americans in five purple states, asking them about immigration, health care, political correctness, and much more. In this episode, our editor-in-chief Kate Trinko sits down with Nate Rodgers from Heritage Action to unpack it all.We also cover the following stories:-President Trump ramps up his war of words with Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings-California shooting leaves three dead, including a 6-year-old-9/11 Victims Compensation Fund gets extended to 2092The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, SoundCloud, Google Play, and Stitcher.
