G.K. and Dave hit the news buffet and load up their plates with timely topics worth chewing on. They dig into the silence of Cuban and Iranian dissidents, pondering why revolutions aren’t erupting despite decades of oppression. Dave reminds listeners that generations under totalitarian rule condition people to compliance before resistance.

Finally, they examine how the Democrat Party became what it is today—tracing its roots back to the countercultural chaos of the 1960s and the lasting impact of the Woodstock generation.
