California Elections, Graham Platner, Recalling COVID Insanity
Robby Soave and Christian Britschgi kick off this week’s episode of Freed Up with a look at California’s socialist elections and Los Angeles’ worsening homelessness problem. Then, they discuss why socialism keeps failing, Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R–Texas) claim that he is “quite libertarian,” and the U.K.’s decision to ban Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur.
Later, they break down Graham Platner’s growing list of scandals, debate whether Dracula is really a romance story, and consider when science and religion come into conflict. Finally, they talk about Robby’s struggles as a light sleeper, revisit the moment COVID-19 experts betrayed the public’s trust, examine how annual homelessness counts are calculated, and close with Robby’s memory of former President Barack Obama speaking at his university commencement.
