Welcome to a debate edition of the Whatever Podcast coming to live from Santa Barbara, California.

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

viewers supported. Heavy YouTube demonetization, so please consider donating through StreamLabs instead of

soup chatting as YouTube takes a brutal 30% cut. That's Streamlabs.com slash whatever. Link is in the description.

We prioritize messages that are made via stream labs to read a message is $199, or excuse me, not $199, $200 and up.

$199 and up. We will read those in batches at various breaks throughout the debate. There will be no instant TTS.

And I do ask that the audience has a good discipline when it comes to the super chats and

the chats.

And if you want to criticize, you know, attack the idea, not the person.

Now if you want to just tip and have 100% of your contribution go towards us,

no platform fees, no cut, you can via Venmo or cash app, whatever, pod on both. The link is in the

description. We're also live on Twitch right now. Pull up another tab. Go to Twitch.tv slash whatever

and drop us a follow in the Prime sub. If you have one, quick disclaimer, the views expressed by

the guests. Do not necessarily reflect the views of the whatever channel.

Without further ado, I will introduce our two guests.

I'm joined today by Andrew Wilson, host of the Crucible.

He's a blood sports debater and political commentator.

Also joining us today is Naima. She's a senior at University of Southern California.

She's a political commentator and content creator. The topic today is feminism. You will each have

up to a five-minute opening statement, and then the rest of the show will just be open conversation,

possible prompt changes, and we're going to have breaks for messages from the audience.

Andrew, you're going to go first with your opening statement, so please go ahead.
