Dirty Moderate with Adam Epstein

Polls show Senator lil Marco Rubio of Florida with a lead in his race against Representative (and former real Orlando Chief of Police) Val Demings, who has raised more money than the incumbent.

But all the money in the world won't help Val Demings unseat Marco Rubio unless we go to: Vote.org, Vote.org, Vote.org! Get registered to vote if you’re not already and register everyone you know.

Herschel Walker is a brain dead puppet (Check out our Stay Dirty, Stay Moderate "Fuck Herschel Walker" for the deep dive). And Warnock needed to come out loud and proud to have any chance of moving the needle held firmly in place by the full weight of the GOP’s gaslighting. Despite all the allegations of the two-faced, abortion denier, Republican Herschel Walker has galvanized the GOP base in Georgia with the endorsement of the now-subpoenaed Donald Trump. The stage was set for a high stakes showdown between the former running back and incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock in their first and only debate.

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol held one of the last public hearings (implied by Chairman Bennie Thompson) as the committee continues its investigation into former President Donald Trump and his influence as he refused to acknowledge the results of the 2020 election. This hearing took a broader look at Trump's mindset as he refused to accept the results and sought to overturn President Biden’s election.

Can anything be earned anymore or is entitlement the name of the game? In the wake of NYU firing Professor Maitland Jones, who literally wrote the book on organic chemistry, for being too tough on students, Adam talks about how we are creating a generation of people "who don't know how to study" (Maitland Jones, 2014) and the way this impacts our ability to make informed decisions at the ballot box.

Saving democracy one episode at a time sounds cute, but it’s existential and we mean it. In the 24th installment of Stay Dirty, Stay Moderate, Adam explores how the GOP closes ranks, not matter what. In the wake of the horrid allegations about Herschel Walker, it’s important to understand how vital the Georgia Senate Race is to the fate of democracy in this country. But the Democrats need to fight back. No more bringing knives to a gun fight. The GOP doesn’t care how they get control of the Senate. And the Raphael Warnock is in the tightest race for in the country.

Fascism is on the rise. Not just in the United States. In the 23rd installment of Stay Dirty, Stay Moderate, Adam dissects the "specter haunting Europe" and the salvo effect of Donald Trump's Presidency around the world. The news of last weekend, the return of Fascism in Italy with the election of Giorgia Meloni (the first female Prime Minister of Italy), should send a chill down everyone's spine.

There is no master of deflection and master of distraction but Donald J. Trump. In this 22nd installment of Stay Dirty, Stay Moderate, Adam navigates us through the very messy situation Trump has put the United States over his magic act of declassifying documents with some history and a touch of civics 101. Lest we forget, Trump has no respect for the rule of law, wants to be a king, and his base wants that too. That’s why it is so important to vote these authoritarian seditionists, domestic terrorists, and fascist traitors out on November 8.
