Summary

The world is still on fire! So there’s a lot to discuss! In this episode Matt covers the future of policing in America, the ‘controversy’ surrounding the demolition of confederate monuments (and the bad reasons why it’s even considered a ‘controversy’ in the first place), NASCAR’s decades-late decision to ban the confederate flag from their boring-as-hell events, Donald Trump’s unbelievably dumb conspiracy-laden tweets and the unbelievably dumb people who embrace them, the unbearable terribleness of the year 2020 and how it won’t be getting better any time soon, and of course the ongoing and inspiring Black Lives Matter protests — and how / why they’ve spread from America all the way around the rest of the world. Don’t forget to get your MDIC merch at mattdelia.com/store — 15% off if you use the code ‘KAY2020’ — with a portion of ALL proceeds going to BLM / EJI !!! Weeeeeeee!!!!!
