Episode 5 | Casual Politics Podcast | "My Safe Space" Website, Shutdown Explained & Blackface Again
#CasualPolitics
The government is shut down, the White House is posting bizarre MySpace parodies, and Halloween blackface is all over the timeline. Drew and Hugh are back to break down the REAL reason behind the government shutdown (hint: it's all about the ACA subsidies, not what they're telling you).
Later, they dive into the offensive White House 'safe space' website, the relentless Halloween blackface controversy, Trump's 60 Minutes interview, and a deep debate on Kanye West's downfall—can you (and should you) separate the art from the artist?
Like and subscribe for more casual breakdowns of the politics shaping our world.
