We really went the distance to meet the KING of the Cosmos, Libertarian Candidate @VerminSupreme. He's not just out there, he's out there making it happen. You've probably never heard an interview that's THIS fake, or this real. His plan for becoming the LP candidate is bold, speculative, untried... and it just might be working.

Ending the drug war, the police state, and foreign aggression aren't a bad place to start a conversation.

We sit down and talk about imagination, protecting ponies, political spectacle, left libertarianism, bringing humor into crisis situations, the conventions of convention... we also take questions from the audience. If you wanna know where the OTHER boot is, you'll find out here.

Also, he's on Facebook, TikTok and more.

Power isn't a gift - you have to take it.

At long last, we sat down with Samelys Lopez, who's running for Congress in the very crowded NY-15 primary.

We talk about growing up in some of the harshest conditions, whether money in politics sways people in poverty conditions, gentrification, the emergency in Puerto Rico - and the disaster capitalism that's sprung up in the wake.

Oh yeah, we talk about the AOC endorsement too!

What do you do when your political movements hit roadblocks? We sat down with Jon Munitz to talk about the end of Andrew Yang's campaign, what's next for Yang and Yang Gang and whether those things are the same, and the 2020 cycle in general.

• What might Andrew Yang do next?
• How will Yang Gang keep its ideas on the table?
• Who else could be a champion of Yang Gang?
• Is Yang Gang just UBI or is it a bigger platform?

Kennedy, Leia, and Brandyn are back again to talk Coronavirus... mostly. The conversation goes to a lot of different places, really, but the main idea is that Corona Virus is bad, Trump is bad, Pence is bad, Hillary was bad, etc. You get the idea.

We cover lot of ground including:

• How Dangerous is Coronavirus?
• Could Trump Be More Incompetent?
• What if Tim Kaine was in Charge of the Response?
• How Will the Economy Take This (and Should We Care)?
• & MORE

Charlie Madison Winters is running in CO-1 and she's lucky to even afford a spot here - she represents the potential for a much more progressive Denver, so we were happy to have her on!

• The ridiculous (and rising) costs of public transportation
• Why "fare enforcement" is bullshit

We also talk about diversity and agriculture in pretty intense depth. Great listen!Get Involved with Charlie's Campaign:https://twitter.com/extantCMWhttps://charliemadisonwinters.com
