49th Parahell

This week, I attempt to emphasize one of the main lessons of Jason Kenney's election as Alberta premiere last week, also the bizarre attempt by Donald Trump and the right to rewrite history on Charlottesville and the history of the alt-right movemement, and an update on my ongoing efforts to destroy Joe Biden's presidential bid. Then Nora Loreto joins me to discuss her talk with Linda Sarsour in Winnipeg, the faux-controversy surrounding Sarsour, also Omar Khadr, the abysmal state of canadian media and much more.

This week, writer Talia Lavin joins me to continue our targeted harassment campaign of Dan Crenshaw, discuss the conservative victimization industrial complex, commiserate about our experiences in the eye of the right wing outrage hurricane, go over some of the conspiracy theories that emerged the moment images of the burning Notre Dame cathedral hit social media, and much more.

This week I talk a little about what it's like to be a parent in the pre-apocalypse, also Ilhan Omar gets piled on yet again by an increasingly unhinged & extremist right wing establishment. Then James Wilt joins the show to chat about Justin Trudeau's embarrassing handout to the Weston Family, the crumbling liberal order, our seemingly unavoidable coming conservative dystopian nightmare, what it's going to take to build a left wing social movement in this Canada, and much more.

This week I try to spend as little time as possible talking about Joe Biden, then Bashir Mohamed joins the show to break down the upcoming Alberta election, increasingly radical conservative politics in Canada and beyond, and how the media has been contributing to a toxic & dangerous political climate.

This week I go over the various unhinged reactions that the long-awaited and predictably disappointing Mueller report inspired, Eleanor Penny tries to explain to me what is happening with Brexit (with mixed results), also what's next for Corbyn and the Labour Party and how the rich are planning to cope with climate change. Then in feedback corner I read some of the comments I received after I ran afoul of the intellectual dark web.

It's been a week since a Donald Trump supporter went on a racist mass-murder spree (again) and the media is making sure he's held to account... for being mean to John McCain. Then journalist Walter Bragman joins the program to talk about the Bernie Sanders/David Sirota non-controversy, media opposition to the Sanders campaign, the anniversary of the Iraq War, desanitizing the human rights disaster in Yemen and much more.

Jordan Uhl returns to the show this week in the aftermath of the horrendous Mosque shootings in Christchurch New Zealand to talk about online radicalization, right wing conspiracies, Fox News, the Tucker Carlson tapes and what they tell us about the conservative media machine and much more.

This week, friend of the show Jared Holt of Right Wing Watch returns to the program to walk me through the existential horror of CPAC, and we contrast the troubling, formerly fringe elements of the conservative movement on display there with this week's news cycle that was once again dominated by tedious bipartisan handwringing over Rep. Ilhan Omar's statements about Israel -- highlighted by Meghan McCain's already legendary meltdown on The View.

This week I go over Bernie's early struggles to outline a more progressive foreign policy and talk about the controversy surrounding his CNN Town Hall event (featuring my first and hopefully last on-air apology). I also go on somewhat of a rant about friend of the show Michael Bueckert's absurd defamation lawsuit. Then UBC grad student Chuka Ejeckam joins the show to talk about trying to maintain a sense of normalcy in the face of the coming climate crisis, drug war reparations, America's unreasonable standards for success in the DPRK peace summit, and much more.

It's episode 31 of 49th Parahell and Bernie Sanders just announced his 2020 campaign, so I drank far too much coffee and then talked about why I'm actually looking forward to participating in the sure-to-be toxic and brain-melting 2020 Democratic primary discourse. Then Tannara Yelland joins me to talk about Bernie, the #UnitedWeRoll pro-pipeline/anti-immigrant convoy and the rapidly deteriorating Liberal government. I also once again complain about the NDP.
