Obviously, you all saw Giuliani’s hair dye running in that meltdown of a press conference, but did you hear anything he said? We do our best to unravel the sweeping conspiracy theory that involves both Hugo Chavez and Mickey Mouse. Plus, we’ll walk you through who has covid (mostly everyone), which republicans are acknowledging BIden as the winner of the election (mostly none of them) and which court cases brought by the Trump Campaign are moving forward (literally none of them). Listen to this podcast while NOT traveling to a superspreader Thanksgiving!!

Sorry for the terrifying thumbnail image, but we wanted to be 100% certain you Mitch McConnell’s hands. Also, it’s almost Halloween so it just felt right. Anyway, we’ll be talking about ol’ Undead Mitch (our terrible Trump-style nickname that doesn’t rhyme or have alliteration) along with the final debate, the latest early vote totals, the latest covid numbers, and the latest INSANE conspiracy theories that Trump and Fox News have cooked up. You won’t want to miss our LAST PODCAST BEFORE THE ELECTION. GO VOTE, PEOPLE!!

You definitely don’t want to miss it!

This week on BTL…we’ve got all the partial primary information you can handle! We’ll review which progressives either did or did not win in New York and Kentucky. And not only are progressives (maybe) winning more races, we’re also thinking ahead to 2021, which is unheard of for Democrats. We’ve got all this plus more Tre45on news, Veepstakes drama, and an epic rant at leaders at all levels over Covid-19.

BTL #354 - Kill The Compromise - 6/15/20

Guys, DON’T WORRY! Democrats have dusted off some old ideas they’ve had on the shelf for years to meet this moment of big structural change around policing. But stale ideas aren’t all they have…they’ve got stale candidates too! And progressives are on the move to take them out. We’ve got all this, plus the Georgia primary, Trump’s rally , and the latest on Covid-19 (hint: it’s getting worse).

BTL #346 - The Easter Spectacular - -4/12/20

What.A.Week! Somehow we saw both death of the American job market AND the resurrection of the stock market. Which means it must be Easter…and the end of capitalism! So celebrate both exciting events with us as we explore all the week’s news. We’ll debate the merits of Joe BIden’s veep options, tell you all the ways America is #1 (hint: it’s our number of Coronavirus cases) and as is our Easter tradition, Brent attempts to explain the story of Easter to Lila.
