Dave Chappelle, LGBTQ Community, and the Court of Public Opinion (WARNING: Graphic Language)

SHOW LESSToday we discuss the criticism of Dave Chappelle for comments made in recent stand-up specials.  Exploring different comedic styles and approaches from George Carlin to Louis CK to Andrew Dice Clay, we go over the different points on both sides of this issue.  Is comedy in the wrong, or are the LGBTQ community too sensitive?  Or, like so many things, is there nuance to this discussion?  Andy Norman Interview Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYfUOYjy1EU&t=1574s

Florida Representative Joe Harding Pushing "Don't Say Gay Bill"; Words on Getting Out to Vote

A bill in Florida, backed by Governor Ron DeSantis, will encourage schools to "out" lgbtq students to their parents who may or may not already be aware.  Additionally, Texas is looking to classify lgbtq education as "child abuse".  Where do these pieces of legislation come from?  Voter apathy.

Ben Shapiro Exposes the Democratic Hypocrisy in Attempting to Replace Justice Breyer Before Midterms

Ben Shapiro doing what he does best: talking very quickly as he explains why the Democrats are inconsistent, hypocritical, and overtly racist, and how the rules of expected consistency apply to one party more than the other. Learn from the master of quick-wit and riveting intellectualism just why Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump had it right all along.
