Let Me Be Clear: with Alex Gettlin

Well, the first night of the 2020 presidential debates have concluded, and wow was that a total dumpster fire. Here's a quick recap episode with my initial thoughts. 

A lot to breakdown this week, and of course tensions are high with the passing of the great 'RBG'. I take a look at what that means for the rest of the election cycle, what could be the answer to calming down all the never-ending anger in the country today, and, I take another look at the viability of Unity 2020's ballot access plan. 

This week I take a look at the controversy surrounding the French film 'Cuties' on Netlfix, and the insane online debates the film has sparked. I recap the documentary 'The Social Dilema' and look at its relevance in today's ever growing social media sphere. And I talk about what it would be like if Trump and Biden agreed to a long form debate on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.  

This week I take a look at the quickly growing political movement, Unity 2020, and how it may be the only option left to save our country. Check out more over at ArticlesOfUnity.org

In this week's bonus episode, I share a great conversation I had with comedian and television writer, Jamee Hawn. Jamee and I are both official 'creators' on the new broadcasting platform Stereo. Jamee shares her story about how she traveled the world at a stilt performer, working at major music festivals like EDC. We get into how leaving her job at Tesla and living in Hong Kong ultimately led to her journey into comedy. And, Jamee shares some insights and advice for listeners who are interested in (re)discovering their own creative passions. 

This week marks the retirement of 'Thin The Herd' and the official rebranding and launch of 'Let Me Be Clear'. This week I discuss the angry mobs in DC that attacked Senator Rand Paul in DC after he spoke at the RNC, and the dangerous trend of anger-mobs across the country. I take a look at Walmart's new service, 'Walmart+' that's aiming to compete with Amazon Prime. Also I share some announcements about the new broadcasting and social media platform 'Stereo' I am putting content on.

This week I give my perspective on the current riots in Wisconsin, I discuss the double standard privileges given to the performers for the years VMA's, and I make some announcements about the future of the show.

Uber and Lyft are officially leaving California, at least temporarily. California's AB5 bill has gone into affect, affectively killing the gig economy and all the benefits that come with it. This episode I take a look at all the issues surrounding this, as well as some more talk about libertarians, third party votes, and mask virtue-signaling. 

This episode I sit down (via Skype) with my pal Ricky Dunlop (host of the progessive YouTube show 'Ricky Rants'). Ricky and I chat about the ever growing wealth gap, and the insane power of the elite Billionaire class. Also we examine the necessity of third party candidates, and, I earn about the recent political coup in Bolivia that was like (almost definitely) backed by Elon Musk. 

This episode I reflect on how the past 4 months without standup has been, and sureprisngly how little I've missed it. I talk about my new 'FaceBook' purge and give some advice on how to better clean up your social media clutter. And, I take a look at some headlines, including how Jeff Bezos this week alone, made $13 Billion in one day.
