Join us this week on BTL as we discuss where our medium tolerance of the idea of maybe voting for Hillary Clinton in the general met it's natural end. Misrepresenting corporate ties was one (bad) thing, but misrepresenting single-payer healthcare and Bernie Sander's (superior) health platform is where we draw the line. We're legit not having her in any way shape or form! Come for the rage, stay for our rundowns of the rest of this action-packed week: Tuesday's State of the Union, Thursday's GOP Debate, Sunday's Dem Debate, and the latest on Iran followed by our coverage of the infuriating/criminal Flint, MI water situation. The episode is long but worth it!
BTL #183 - Guns Per Tear Shed - 1/11/16
This week on BTL...it's a polling bonanza! The first polls major numbers 2016 are filled with exciting plot twists! With Iowa and New Hampshire are mere weeks away, the pressure is mounting on establishment campaigns on both sides of the aisle and we can't help but love the fallout! Plus, Donald Trump releases his first video ad; maybe in the course of “figuring out what going on” he can learn to write better copy. And Ted Cruz birtherism is finally taking center stage in a fascinating GOP battle royale that promises to get better (read: more exciting) before it gets worse (read: solved). Also, Obama makes common sense gun control reforms that are now more necessary than ever since Americans basically purchased out all the guns that are currently for sale last month in an effort to stop shootings (what?). And guys, Dr. Zizmor retired so childhood is basically over and we've gotta start figuring our shit out. Blargh. Check us out right here or on iTunes/Stitcher!
BTL # 182 - Lady of Leisure - 1/4/16
This week on BTL...we begin 2016 with a look towards the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, which are just weeks away! Ted Cruz is in the lead in Iowa and Trump got a lock on NH, but the real race is for second, third, and fourth place (a.k.a. first place in the much more desperate establishment sub-primary.) All that, plus an exciting look at some other races to watch, the return of the Cliven Bundy's clan, some hopeful news regarding gun control (did we ever think we'd say that?) and so much more!
BTL # 179 - Deadly Money - 12/7/15
This week on BTL...at what point do we get to start calling the NRA a terrorist organization? Is it now? Do we have to wait until we hit 400 mass shootings a year? Luckily for us, the GOP proposed all sorts of strategies to deal with this week’s mass shootings including...outright denial, misplaced blame, and voting no on common sense gun legislation. You be you, America! Actually though, don't. Other genius GOP ideas's this week: asking their GOP Senate candidates to wear cooler clothes and dig up tree roots, repealing Obamacare in new and exciting ways, and getting rid of that terrible foreign scourge: hummus. All this and lots more!
BTL #171 - The Yammerings - 10/5/15
Jason Chaffetz's fact-free Planned Parenthood "hearings" create the perfect opportunity for him to represent the shutdown caucus in a bid for Speaker of the House. Plus, Donald Trump and Jeb Bush talk about "geniuses" making some "stuff happen" at last week's latest school shooting, and much, much more!
The Brain Trust Live Gun Control Manifesto
Here at Brain Trust Live, we’ve been pretty clear about one thing: we don’t approve of people having guns, no exceptions, and we’re willing to tolerate a “hostile government takeover” (as the right would call it), as long as what it involves is the government taking these dangerous weapons away from people in our vicinity.
