#195: Is Tucker Carlson Becoming Progressive / Canadian Horror Stories

The Halloween episode that the Canadian’s warned you about is coming to you a couple weeks after Halloween. With Tanner’s work schedule this episode was delayed due to editing and work but here we a double episode this week.

The begins with talking about if Tucker Carlson has turned tale and now is coming out against Trump. They talk about some of the shows Tucker has done recently that demonstrate that he has probably had enough of the network telling him what to believe or talk about on the show. The team talks through how we can start partnering with people who are conservative but are sick of Trump.

Keith gives us a segment on the horror stories that Canada has come to love and the group talks about which ones give them nightmares and what ones they just laugh at.

The show concludes talking about a local Michigan Brewery that has come under fire for supporting a manager that has made the workplace uncomfortable with their racist agenda. They look at the lawsuit and what the company is doing with the current situation.

The team gets together this week to review the new developments in the Trump Impeachment Case as new developments present themselves with yet another whistle blower lending testimony to the case.

They also discuss the new Joker movie and if they feel it is catering the incel group or if it is a story about abuse and how the government can restrict and harm its own citizens. This topic is close to Tanner’s heart as he has been an advocate of acknowledging where free speech may need to be curtailed.
