Welcome to a special debate edition of the whatever podcast we're coming to live from Santa Barbara, California.

I'm your host, moderator, Brian Atlas. A few quick announcements before the show begins.

This podcast is if you were supported, heavy YouTube demonetization. So please consider

donating through StreamLabs instead of soup chatting as YouTube takes a brutal 30% cut that streamlabs.com slash whatever

link for that's in the description we do prioritize messages they're made via stream labs to read a

message as tts it's going to be uh 99 and up and we will pull those up in batches at various

breaks throughout the debate we're also live on on Twitch. Right now, you can pull

up another tab, go to twitch.tv slash whatever. Drop us a follow in the prime sub if you have one.

Without further ado, I'm going to introduce our two debaters. I'm joined today by Jim Bob. He is a

political commentator and a political cartoonist for the Washington Examiner.

Also joining us today is Oliver Nehouse.

He is about to graduate from Oberlin College.

He is triple majoring in political science, philosophy, and legal studies.

He plans to attend law school after graduation.

He's also a political commentator and content creator.

The debate topic for today is, is feminism good for society?

Each of the debaters will have a five-minute opening statement,

and then the rest of the show will be open conversation,

and there will be some breaks for messages from the audience.

Oliver, you get the opening statement, so go ahead.

Awesome.

Well, thank you very much, Brian, for having me on the show.
