Rick opens the show with commentary on how we have become an unserious country that has surrendered itself to an increasingly unserious media. Then we are joined by author and podcaster Jared Yates Sexton to discuss the news of the week and the latest bits of creeping authoritarianism contained within. We close the first hour with Morris Pearl of Patriotic Millionaires and a discussion about Biden’s recent plan to make the wealthy “pay their fair share.”
