This episode we talk a LOT about news--everything from parliamentary collapse to Kylie's pregnancy to racists loving the flag more than they care about people of color's well-being. Our topic this week was patriotism, so we talk about how racists conflate patriotism with standing for the national anthem and "respecting the flag" (whatever that really means).
