Episode Overview

This episode centers on the idea that the progressive movement in America desperately needs to embrace a more combative, unapologetic approach—coined here as “F*ck You Lefties.” Jennifer Welch, Josh, and guest Kyle Kulinski dissect political cowardice among Democrats, the dangers and opportunities of AI, male loneliness as a capitalist tool, and the pitfalls of centrist politics.
