S30·E11 January 22, 2024 - Talib Kweli

Ronny Chieng covers Trump's face-off with a woke pastor, his lukewarm review of church, and a "fuck-it" approach to the Jan. 6 pardons. Plus, Troy Iwata investigates if the GOP's amnesia for insurrectionist violence is really a disease. Triumph the Insult Comic Dog goes to the People's March to talk to protestors about ways they can mobilize against the Trump administration, from new logos to Jimmy Carter conspiracies to storming a nearby coffee shop. Legendary hip-hop artist Talib Kweli sits down with Ronny Chieng to discuss the future of the music industry and his latest album "The Confidence of Knowing." They talk about supporting artists outside of streaming, how hip-hop is deeply rooted in social justice, understanding the political divide beyond Democrat vs. Republican, and how tech billionaires profit off our social media engagement.
