On this BASEDBrief, Brad & Hannah re-cap the dramatic “backlash” from the launch of BASED-Politics.com. Spoiler alert: Nationalists and some far-right Internet personalities are Big Mad. Plus, they discuss lessons from Martin Luther King Jr. and their different educational experiences on the Civil Rights Era from growing up in the South versus growing up in the Northeast.

Then, Brad & Hannah tackle the FBI’s latest week of absolute buffoonery and break down some disturbing polling data showing many Americans want the government to essentially wage war against the unvaccinated. To close out, they do a round-up of a bunch of great pro-liberty legislation being introduced across the country and, of course, do some hot takes and go over listener mail.

The 2020 Libertarian Party Vice Presidential nominee, Spike Cohen, joins Hannah & Brad for a bonus interview.

Hannah and Brad make a BIG announcement to start the pod, then break down Biden’s reported support for making an “exception” to the Senate filibuster. Then, they analyze data showing just how badly the Democrats’ multi-trillion-dollar stimulus and respond to a GOP politician’s public visit to a prison. They discuss: Should prisoners should have to vote? Then, they react to clips & highlights from Rand Paul’s latest face-off with Dr. Fauci and close out with some hot takes and listener mail.

Senator Rand Paul joins Brad on this Sunday BASED Bonus pod to discuss Big Tech’s latest censorship crackdown.

The libertarian-leaning Republican explains why he disagrees with Big Government “conservative” proposals and argues that the free market can provide an answer. Paul is putting his money where his mouth is, and we discuss the changes he is making to support new platforms and abandon left-leaning echo chambers.

In a new Friday bonus episode, Hannah & Brad go over the 5 worst takes of the week. And boy, there are some terrible ones on deck: Kamala Harris comparing January 6 to 9/11, a crazy COVID mom that went viral, a socialist math fail, a ridiculous tweet from a Democratic gubernatorial candidate, and silly posts blaming Virginia’s I-95 crisis on a GOP governor-elect who isn’t in office yet. 

What do you think is the worst take of the week? Vote here and we’ll announce the winner on Wednesday’s BASEDBrief: https://doodle.com/poll/fcekwmctqgwa7ar4?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link

For once, Brad & Hannah can relate to AOC. On the latest BASEDBrief, they react to the far-left congresswoman’s hilariously narcissistic argument that her critics just want to sleep with her—and break down a recent surge in Big Tech censorship.

Plus, they discuss the controversial fraud verdict against Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and President Biden’s policy push targeting Big Meat, where he gets some problems right but the solutions all wrong. Then, Brad & Hannah chat about the merits of New Year’s resolutions and read social media feedback from the growing BASED community.

It's no secret that Americans are steadily becoming less educated and less informed. For decades, government has had a near monopoly on education, and it shows.

In this episode, Hannah examines the history of primary education in the US, the impact of public policy decisions on the classroom, and the ways the left and right can come together to ensure ALL children have equal access to a quality education.

Did President Biden just admit he was wrong? As Hannah & Brad discuss on the latest BASEDBrief, that’s at least the tacit admission in the president’s move to roll back his misguided COVID travel restrictions on African nations. 

Plus, Biden just renewed the federal government’s “pause” on student loans, Chinese state media is simping for mass murderers, and The View can’t find a new right-leaning co-host. Should Hannah be drafted? We discuss all this & much more.

Um, is Senator Joe Manchin hot now? The moderate Democrat just killed Biden’s terrible spending agenda, so on this episode of the BASEDBrief, Hannah & Brad evaluate whether Manchin now joins Elon Musk as a sexy free-market king. Plus, they react to the *insane* backlash against Manchin after his vote and respond to Dr. Fauci saying masking on airplanes is here to stay. 

Then, Brad rants about DC reinstating its mask mandate amid “Omicron” panic, Hannah goes off on the latest round of school closures, and we discuss sleep paralysis demons—as well as whether “Karen” is an anti-white, sexist slur. (That’s what one hate-mailer recently suggested.)

The persecution of Julian Assange continues: Hannah and Brad break down new developments in the WikiLeaks journalist’s controversial case on the latest BASEDBrief. Then, they break down a new Congressional Budget Office analysis that pretty much destroys the narrative behind Biden’s “Build Back Better” spending agenda. 

Plus, they dive into Tesla CEO Elon Musk winning Time Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2021 and break down highlights from an INSANELY BASED interview he gave to the Wall Street Journal. Then, they wade into abortion, a rare subject where Hannah and Brad notably diverge, to discuss the problematic precedent set by a new Texas anti-abortion law.
