The latest news on the Trump campaign, and coronavirus, followed by a brief economic update with producer Ariel Kohn. Then, my discussion with Gabrielle Norrise (@BlackFaceTrisha on TikTok). We talk about Nascar's long-overdue decision to ban Confederate flags from races, protesters removing Confederate statues, and the future of the police. Then, find out how you can get involved in the BLM movement. Sorry for the weird mic quality at the beginning! I was just figuring out my new mic. Going forward the quality will be much better. 

I recently made a TikTok reacting to a video in which the Republican creator described how she felt "enslaved" by the California Democratic Party. After the video went viral, I asked the creator if we could have a one on one conversation about race, Trump, and politics at large. Graciously enough, she agreed. She was unbelievably kind and helpful. I think that conversations like these are one way to make a change in our country. When people have conversations, minds open up. Enjoy this 45-minute discussion with a California Republican.

"Into the Trump Twitter-Verse: I Spent a Month as One of Trump’s Digital Soldiers and Here’s What I Learned.” In my article, I recount my experiences during the month I spent operating a conservative Twitter account and learning everything I could about the “Trump Twitter-Verse.” Over the course of a long-form piece, I discuss the differences between the liberal majority and the conservative minority that make up the 250 million-user platform. I highlight how conservative Twitter surfaces topics that are central to the conservative political world, including the Right’s need to monopolize “patriotism,” and the widespread sense of distrust which is exemplified by the concept of “fake news” and the “don’t-trust-the-media” mindset. During my month undercover on conservative Twitter, I noted that confirmation bias plays a significant role in conservative Twitter, with partisan push polls being retweeted by the President himself. A central point of my article is the need for community in conservative Twitter which is at least in part due to perceptions of persecution by the Left.
