Episode description

Matt takes a look at the shooting at the parade in Highland Park, Illinois on July 4th and the shooter, Robert "Bobby" Crimo III who also went by the name Awake the rapper and how Crimo represents a different type of right wing extremist: one seemingly not motivated by traditional right wing ideologies but of nihilism and doomerism. BONUS: Included in the usual free version of the podcast is two segments from the patron-only second half of the show with callers who had more to say on the topic. Plus: Right wing media falls over itself portray the shooter as a leftist and Marjorie Taylor Greene's ridiculous take. (Episode from the 7/5/22 livestream.)
