Why Graham Platner Needs to Drop Out
About this episode
The episode discusses the need for Graham Platner to drop out amid allegations, features an interview with Tim Whitaker on Trump's recent actions, and critiques the political landscape regarding media and citizenship.
After the sexual assault allegations made against Graham Platner, Tim & Luke discuss why he needs to drop out right away. After that, Tim Whitaker, co-founder of The New Evangelicals, joins the show to unpack a Fourth of July weekend Trump turned into a celebration of himself. We break down his speech, the right's meltdown over birthright citizenship (including Liz Wheeler's "communist children" claim), and Tim's own exit from Christian fundamentalism — why the loudest "biblical" voices in politics rarely quote Jesus. We also get into Trump's meme coin grift, which made him $636 million while everyday buyers lost nearly $4 billion, and close on why the left still can't fund a media ecosystem to match the right's.
