The roiling tremors on the left continue, as a young progressive data analyst gets fired for... it's honestly too ridiculous to even type, but it basically involves tweeting a thing that is true. As if that weren't enough, the Poetry Foundation shows us what a truly hysterical meltdown looks like. The hosts use their intellect and savvy to try to understand the difference between two 'violent' acts: "kneeling on someone's neck until they die horrifically" and "issuing a statement that isn't quite strong enough." After the credits roll, stick around for a segment of Jesse's interview with the philosopher and leftist writer Ben Burgis, the author of "Give Them an Argument: Logic for the Left."
