We hear a lot about Democrats and Republicans, but what about those smaller parties? Angela McArdle is a Libertarian Organizer, Activist and Chair of the LA County Libertarians. How did she find the Libertarian Party? What drew her to it? Angela breaks down some of its tenets as well as her experiences running for office. Also, who could be the 2020 Libertarian nominee for President and how is their convention different? All this plus Angela gives her reasons California Governor Gavin Newsom should be recalled and the stupidity behind #AB5, a law that will essentially kill California’s gig economy and freelance work. Liberty beats awkward!

Amin Jai was hired by Evan back in New York about 15 years ago and now in their longest conversation ever Amin came to Evan’s house late one night to sit in his kitchen to catch up! Hear why Amin left New York for Los Angeles, what it was like being interviewed for a job by Evan and plus a whole lot of politics. Did we mention Amin is a proud black, pro-Trump Republican? Of course that means Amin has been shadow-banned on social media. Amin also gets into being judged as a black man. Pulling no punches on this one! (Sorry, Biden wrote that last line. Awkward.)
