[Episode 449] #Covfefe Break: Ayn Rand, Buying Votes, and State Secession with guest host Sunny Lohmann

October 01, 2020 Carter has a wide-ranging discussion with guest host Sunny Lohmann. Sunny is a political satirist who contributes regularly for PJ Media and whose popular videos can be seen on her YouTube channel, House of Sunny. They discuss buying votes, the myriad Atlas Shrugged characters surrounding us today, George Soros, and the upcoming election. After pausing to wonder who the last President who wrote his own speeches was, they contemplate why Objectivists and other intellectual elites support Biden over Trump, the superfluous neologism "White Blindness," and the Coinbase announcement by CEO Brian Armstrong that the company is NOT Woke. Then the real Unsafe topics begin as they chat about the possibility of States leaving the Union, if a peaceful solution to today’s culture war is possible, and if a “Civil War” would erupt should a group of States give up and leave.
