About Trump's Ballot Removal and SENATE SEX TAPES (also... gaza emails)

•

The gang covers a range of topics, including a Colorado Supreme Court ruling on Trump's eligibility, concerns about setting legal precedents, a sex scandal involving Bridget and Christian Ziegler, conservative sexual behavior, controversy surrounding Moms for Liberty, and the relationship between moral foundations theory and political orientation. The conversation covers considerations of justice and harm, understanding Zionism, misconceptions about Zionism, the complexity of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, different perspectives on the conflict, the issue of hostages in Gaza, the tush push in football, the disconnected feeling of veterans, and the driving force of tribalism. The conversation explores the impact of technology on information dissemination and the decline of gatekeepers, leading to the rise of fringe opinions and the absence of a news consensus. It delves into the tribalistic impulses amplified by social media and the lack of coping mechanisms for this new medium. The influence of conservative radio and for-profit news on tribalism is discussed, along with the role of greed and competition in shaping media narratives. The conversation also examines the structural changes in media and the financial incentives of going tribal. Finally, the debate on the economic value of college education is addressed.
