Summary

The right isn't funny, but they're effective. That's Professor Nick Marx's argument in the book "That's Not FunnyHow the Right Makes Comedy Work for Them". He joins Francesca and comedian Jessica Sele to discuss how the edge lord comedy ecosystem is recruiting young people to more extremist causes. Then the right screams "Defund the Police!" after the FBI raids Trump's Mar-A-Lago estate, including his safe! And major climate legislation passes the Senate. What's in the bill and does it do more good than harm or more harm than good? Finally a homophobic production of Hamilton has us playing the game "Un-gay This Musical". PLUS a patron-only Bonus Bish about Alex Jones getting his ass handed to him by everyone in court. Problem is, he's super into it.
