Pence-Harris Debate Preview, Tough on Crime Confusion

David Gornoski starts the show by commenting on the news that a plexiglass barrier will be installed at the Pence-Harris debate. “This is a clown show,” David says as he highlights the fear-mongering at play in the political theater. David also comments on the Russiagate revelations. “If there is no accountability for these actions…,” he says, “I don’t think the republic can be salvaged.” How can we get past the binary way of thinking towards social injustices? “As long as we’re fixated on which race or gender is the most victimized, we’ll all continue to be victims.” Can someone be merciful and also be tough on crime? Listen to the full episode as David Gornoski deconstructs Biden’s facade of wokeness and unearths a history of persecuting non-violent offenders of all colors.
