In this Best Of episode, we revisit our conversation with Trae Crowder, the viral comedian from Tennessee aka The Liberal Redneck. We talk about Trae's upbringing in a red state, why rednecks are Trumpies, and what happens to a community when the jobs leave. Listen to Trae’s take on Trump's appeal to voting rednecks, even though they might have seen him as a New York elite (from his TV show, The Apprentice) before he entered politics.

0:00.0 | Hey everybody, we got a best of today, which means it's a great one, you know, for a change. |
0:10.8 | Trey Crowder, also known as the Liberal Redneck, join me, and I have to say we had a wonderful |
0:16.6 | conversation. |
0:17.6 | Trey is a great stand-up comedian. |
0:20.4 | I saw him live a few months ago, and he's just |
0:23.3 | put out his latest stand-up special Trash Daddy up on YouTube. And I think you'll see from our |

0:40.7 | Ashkosh, which left Salina and went to Mexico in the 90s. And as Trey says, the jobs left forever |
0:50.8 | and the pills showed up for good at the exact same time in like the mid to late 90s in Salina. |
0:57.4 | And that combination just, that was it. |
1:00.3 | It was curtains for that town. |
1:01.8 | It's never recovered, you know, to this day. |
1:04.5 | I know you'll enjoy this discussion. |

1:29.5 | accelerate after Trump froze military aid and intelligence support to Ukraine on March 3rd. |
1:37.2 | The flow of aid returned just this past week after Ukraine agreed to Trump's proposal for a 30-day ceasefire. |
1:47.3 | Well, Putin has thus far rejected a ceasefire. He believes he has an advantage over Ukraine's |

2:04.1 | the Russians about 10 to 1, but Ukraine's growing supply of drones, plus small influxes of new soldiers, |
