In this episode Rod and Kale discuss the
surprising Republican victory in Virginia and his recent trip to
the National Conservatism Conference in Orlando. In the aftermath,
the questions arise as to what will a conservative coalition look
like in the future. What kind of tent can be built to include the
integralists on the one hand, and the "classical liberal"
non-religious? What would a viable coalition look like?
In the next section, they discuss the
doubling down of progressive media in the wake of the pushback in
Virginia. Is this the "Chris Rufo" citizen-activist election? Why
can't the media admit that CRT is a real thing?
They finish up talking about Ibram X.
Kendi's tweet that gave away the game, and the new University of
Austin.
