Summary

While Democrats need to 'energize and ignite' their voting base, voters need to remember that democracy is not a spectator sport. We welcome LaTosha Brown, the co-founder of Black Voters Matter, to discuss critical midterm elections and where grassroots organizers are working hardest. And comedian James Fritz joins to talk about Biden's imminent cancelation of a very small amount student debt, and Republicans starting to see the implications of stripping abortion rights from half the population. Plus, if you had to choose one Trump son as your ride or die, who would you choose? Finally a BONUS BISH about a firefighter who got fired over a very ACAB rant... was he in the wrong?
