Welcome to our Better Crystal Kyle and friends. Today we're going to be talking to

0:10.0

Joshua Reed Ekel. This guy is the head of Project Liberal. It's a Twitter account that randomly popped

0:16.4

up on my feet a few weeks back and ever since it has I've been really enjoying it. So he would describe himself as a liberal obviously may even describe

0:25.7

himself as a classical liberal but I don't think he means it in the Dave Rubin kind of way

0:29.5

where he just says that and then he's just a Republican. In fact the majority of his

0:33.2

tweets are just flat out anti-Republican and I'm really interested to talk to him

1:25.6

coalition the left and the liberals coming together to defeat marine lapen but then on the

1:30.2

other hand once that happened and the far left got the most votes then

1:32.9

Macron's like no I'm not going to let you form a government I'd

1:35.3

actually rather work with the right wing which is you know one of the dangers and

1:38.8
