NYGBC: Civil Rights 101: The First Amendment

This week we take a break from the slog of episodes about depressing and terrible people and events we usually cover to begin a mini-series with bit more optimism we usually have on this show. This week we’re beginning with a mini-series within the lunatic fringe about civil rights in the United States, this time providing you with a miniature introduction to the U.S. legal system and an exploration of first amendment law throughout the years.

Border Wars: The Right’s Hard Turn on Immigration

This week, we endeavor to answer a question Benedict has foolishly asked a number of times, when did the republican party take a hard turn against immigration. As many listeners might guess already, the answer is largely that they already sucked to begin with.

The Way of the Shadow Wolves by Steve Seagal and Tom Morrissey Part 1

This week, we finally begin our reading of “The Way of the Shadow Wolves: The Deep State and the Hijacking of America” by Steven Seagal and Tom Morrissey, and never in this show’s history have we had a book go off the rails this quickly. This novella posits a world in which virtually every conspiracy theory is true, from FEMA camps to Qanon, and we had a great time trying to figure out if the wolf was real.

NYGBC: Joe Arpaio, the Worst Sheriff in America

This week, we kick off a mini-series within the lunatic fringe on the right’s anti-immigrant activity and racism with a review of one of the right’s most heralded racist murderers, Joe Arpaio. Over 24 years as the Maricopa County Sheriff Arpaio caused and covered up the murder or abuse of numerous inmates, engaged in racial profiling, pushed conspiracy theories about Obama’s birth certificate, and engaged in human rights violations so extensive the UN should have sent troops to Arizona.

Joe Arpaio belongs in prison.
