Emmanuel is in no mood, trying to be optimistic about the Knicks, memories of when Obama won the election in 2008, how things have generally gone downhill since, wondering how things could possibly be worse, memories of CBS, what the evening network newscasts were like, Dan Rather's unique signoff, how cowardice is the word of this era, the failure of the United States to stand out from other countries that caved to dictatorships, the impossibility of proving that gerrymandering is being done because of race, how a 6-3 vote in the Supreme Court can quickly change, the need to strategize, the attacks on mail-in voting, how all of this is related to Republicans not being able to accept losing an election, how Lee Zeldin's actions are literally killing people, why Trump's words make violence inevitable, the FDA blocks publications concerning the safety of vaccines, more on the case against James Comey, how the attack on the White House Correspondents' Dinner has been manipulated to allocate one billion dollars to the ballroom project, why it's important to be able to speak your mind, the importance of supporting WUSB as a testament to free speech, the power of peaceful protest, a discussion of motorized scooters running from the cops in Oakland.
