In this episode, Bob Phipps moderates a fast, messy, human debate where both sides call the other “crazy” and we try to separate heat from light. Bathrooms to January 6, censorship to conspiracies, rainbow crosswalks to welfare and “weaponization” of agencies—nothing stays tidy for long. 
Participating panel: Don Thomas, Stacia Boyd, Zach Cooker, Jeff Barrett
