Summary

TMBS 34 first aired on March 30th, 2018. Episode summary: The first TMBS cartoon animation premiers. Then, Assemblyman Lee Carter from Virginia joins us to talk about his journey to Democratic Socialism and how a bad worker's compensation experience drove him to run for office. How he determined 'socialism' wasn't such a scary word. Lee points out people don't need 'jobs,' they need A Secure Job. Then, Sam Harris has been boosting Charles Murray. Christopher Hitchens returns from the dead to set him straight on why The Bell Curve was ever talked about. TMBS ReAirs come out every Tuesday here on your podcast app & on The Michael Brooks Show YouTube Channel. This program has been put together by The Michael Brooks Legacy Project.
