Content warning: This episode includes discussion of suicidal ideation

Jared and Mike start out this episode listening to another episode of The Katie Miller Pod, this one featuring Todd Blanche, who was effectively promoted to the top of the DOJ when Trump fired Pam Bondi. After that, the guys settled in for an extended chat about Mike's experience at the Southern Poverty Law Center and how the issues he encountered there are playing out at other "anti-hate" nonprofits in the second Trump Administration.

You can read Mike's article here: 'What Happened to the SPLC—and Me'

Join us in Washington, DC, on April 11: Politics & Prose (Conn. Ave)

Jared's album recommendation: Snail Mail, Valentine, 2021

Mike going full Dr. Emilio Lizardo from Buckaroo Bonzai for his book. Respect.

The fact that I understand every obscure reference (nordic rune CPAC stage, "you are telling me this for the first time", etc) you guys toss out makes me feel like I'm terminally-online in an unhealthy way 😂

I got my copy of Strange People from the publisher, yesterday. I plan to start reading it this afternoon. Congrats on the book release. I wish I could be there in person but I live on the West Coast and just got back from another trip. I love listening to you two shoot the shit. ♥️

I really enjoyed this; I'm a sicko who likes to see people who fight fascism being human. ..and as an Australian, I don't think Mike sounds abrasive.

The Guardian’s interview with Mike seems to be their number 1 culture article, from what I can see on their app, and it even came up on my Apple News suggestions. This great press and reach make me so happy for Mike. Congratulations, sir!

Great episode. Would Mike care to elaborate on the fallout of his SPLC report on Alex Jones? I recall Mike talking about how he received some flak for a weekend from some Knowledge Fight listeners on in a previous episode, and as a cross over listener I would love to hear more from his side.

The Blanche commentary on pornhub and xhamster killed me

I ‘member! “Expert for the defense” and “expert on the Alt Right” University of Alabama poli-sci professor who showed up in the trial witness docs for Mackey’s trial and “mysteriously” slinked away lol
