Summary

Will and Virgil peel back the curtain to give an intimate backstage look at their recent media hit with Jesse "The Body" Ventura on RT.* They're then joined by political scientist David Faris to discuss his book "It's Time To Fight Dirty". Faris out lines all the ways a slim democratic majority could and should shortcut norms and the constitution to build enduring power, while Will and Virgil supply all the reasons they'll probably be too chicken to actually do so. Finally, a reading from the good book. *Note: Our segment seems to have been cut before airing lol we still love you Jesse! Buy the book: chapotraphouse.com

0:00.0	Hello friends, it's your chopper for the week. Just me and Virgil, hey, great everyone
0:07.4	else is off of for Memorial Day, paying their respects to our great monuments in this country,
0:13.2	Mount Rushmore, the Hollywood sign, Branson Missouri. It's Virgil and I for this show and
0:20.0	in just a little bit we'll be speaking to David Ferris about his book, It's Time to Fight Dirty,
0:26.8	which is his political strategy for rat fucking the Republicans out of power through
0:33.5	procedural life hacks that are able to hack the Constitution and our form of government

1:57.8	rather surreal experience. Yeah, so apparently Jesse hosts this show in Minnesota, his basement
2:06.1	or something. We did not at an undisclosed location. So when we told people we're going on
2:11.2	Jesse Ventura's show, they were like, oh, it's awesome. You got to meet the body, Jesse, the
