Hey Faithful, this week's episode on the free feed is going to be a conversation I had with Professor Glenn Lowry and economics professor at Brown.

0:08.0

So when I've had on bad faith in the past, I was at Brown at his invitation a couple of weeks ago, and we also recorded an episode where his podcast, he was gracious enough to share the audio files with me.

0:19.5

So I'm bringing it to you this week.

0:21.5

I'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about this evening on Colin. I'm looking forward to it and as always keep the faith.

0:36.5

I'm happy to welcome Brianna Joy Gray to the glen show Brianna is hostess of the bad faith podcast, which my wife loves and I do too actually although I don't love it as much as my wife does.

1:04.5

As a graduate of Harvard Law School is a former national press secretary for the Bernard Sanders campaign and is a woman of the left. I think I could say that without embarrassed.

1:13.5

Absolutely.

1:14.5

So welcome, welcome. I almost want to say welcome back except you had me as a guest on your podcast.

1:19.5

I did. It was one of our most popular episodes to date.

1:22.5

I'm glad to hear that and I reposted it at the glen show. I don't know six months, eight, nine months ago, some like that.

1:29.5

Listen a year ago and it got a lot of traffic. I'll bet the comments that you received are different from the comments that I received.

1:36.5

How so what do you think I received? Well, some of my com well, I bet your comments will help dare you. Why were you talking to that guy?

1:43.5

I mean, you know, he's beneath contempt. He's a conservative. That's not my audience. I think that there are a lot of liberals like that.

1:49.5

But there's a pretty significant cultural distinction between liberals in the left. And because the left is so erased from the public sphere.

1:56.5

A lot of folks have even really realized what we're all about. So the left, I think, is very much aligned with a lot of folks who identify as politically independent or perhaps conservative that are concerned with a lot of issues about censorship.

2:08.5

They are similarly amused by the hand ringing around Elon Musk, potentially buying Twitter.

2:15.5

They are concerned about censorship because it's often left wing sites that are censored first in the first culling. So people were very concerned about Chris hedges and Abby Martin and some RT shows being taken down and RT sweep.

2:29.5

So there's a lot of alignment there because any quote unquote fringe ideology are going to be the first ones hit.

2:35.5

Okay, now I like this idea of grunting. I are talking because we have our political differences, but we also have a common commitment to the value of discourse into the integrity of journalism. I think we do.

2:48.5

I think so. That feels right.

2:50.5

So the left and the right. And I'm not saying I'm a person of the right. I'm heterodox. I mean, I'm conservative for a black guy.

2:56.5

Okay, I mean, I'm an economist by profession. So that's going to make me a little bit kind of neoliberal on certain stuff, prices and open markets and things of this kind.
