Briahna is Jealous of Republicans for FORCING THE VOTE? (w/ Thomas Frank)

Whenever something crazy is going down in Congress, Thomas Frank is here to talk about it. We chatted while the capitol was stormed on 1/6, and now he happens to have returned to the podcast as the House Republicans struggle to meet the 218 vote threshold to elect a majority speaker. Briahna talks to Thomas Frank, historian, writer, and populism expert about the parallels between this historical moment and the one's he's written about, the wisdom of force the vote, and whether Briahna is right to be jealous of the rouge Republicans in this moment.

Thomas Frank is my favorite guest. I love it when he starts to defend the Dems and Bri challenges him with examples from his own books.

Thomas Frank paraphrased says: what we need is a grassroots populist movement against corporate money...the last 6 interviews going back to Ralph Nader have said basically the same thing. There is a grassroots movement against corporate money called Represent Us. Could you please take 15-30 mins to look into them so that, if you think they have a viable strategy, you can bring them up with your guests, in the same way you talk about AOC, DSA, the squad, force the vote, and all the other stuff? https://represent.us/unbreaking-america/

I enjoyed the talk with Thomas Frank. He has a good energy about him. I found the "Everybody needs to go learn to code." line kind of funny. I think that's in reference to Obama's cringe statement, right? I don't like saying people "should", "needs", or "have to" do anything, but as a person who makes a living writing code, you can try it for no money to see if you like it. If you can read this message, you can use the same browser to try out web development. I'm going to date myself, but if you ever customized your Myspace, Black Planet, Geo Cities page or whatever, you've done some coding. There are no code tools where if you can make a Power Point, you can make a site. Even before getting paid to code, just knowing that I could create and control my representation on the Web without relying on someone else to do it for me was/is important to me. I know it was said in jest, but I never want someone to be discouraged from just trying. Also, participating in extracurricular STEM programs probably saved my life. As for Ro "I was gonna" Khanna... Briahna has no sort of Poker face! haha She let out the loudest "hmph" I've ever heard and somehow telepathically shouted "bullsh*t" through the screen. haha Great job on pressing Khanna. First it's, we can't get anything done with Trump in Office and/or Republicans running the house. Then when it's Democrats controlling White House and Congress, it's not the time to push for things we want right now. Then when they lose control it's, we need to get back control. A terrible cycle. Hopefully folks will start to see that the Democrats are "The Washington Generals". They are paid losers to make it seem like the game isn't rigged. Peace piece

Great episode. Just here to say I love Brie's comedy routine at the beginning of the Callin tonight and would love more

Hey Brie, can you link to the Thomas Frank talk you're referencing in this episode? Thanks!

Two of my faves in one podcast?! Yes, please. More of this.

Now that Force the Vote is 100% vindicated, I'm sure you'll receive a ton of apologies from all the super helpful allies that hate Jimmy Dore more than they care about people getting healthcare.

Tom Frank is definitely in my Top 3 favourite guests on Bad Faith, Brie. I’ve nearly all his books and he’s no ‘one trick pony’, he’ll speak knowledgeably on subjects across the political spectrum… witty and funny too. He’s not too precious to admit he doesn’t know something or that he’s learned something new. You can see he enjoys coming on your show. MORE Tom Frank please Brie. ; )
