Ryan's fabulous argument!
I found Ryan Grim's argument fascinating. Of course, he is playing devil's advocate here but he makes the point that Trump's best defense is lean on civil liberties whereas liberals take the side of assertive national security state. The tables have turned! Ryan Grim is one of the few journalists with original (heterodox) opinions on many interesting topics. Btw, Krystal made a lousy argument that Trump himself does not believe in civil liberties. Yes, but it does not matter! The law protects even those who don't believe in it, duh!
Not receiving your shows via my email
I'm sorry, but earlier last week (6/06) I received your last show. Subsequently, I received a notice that the credit card I used for auto-monthly payments was rejecting your payment debit for that day (I am one of BP's original subscribers from 2 years ago).. The notice stated that my card had past the expiration date; it did not with a exp. date of 06/2026. BP 2nd notice of a re-try stated again the same "problem". I have been using this card all week, so the technical "glitch" must be from your end. Nonetheless, I provided my other Credit card info and it has been post via Manage Subscription; my invoice history shows my payment for 6/06/2023 having been paid. Unfortunately it appears I am not receiving BP shows to my email address as I have been since inception of BP. I have tried the tech -support link, but can't get through. Please get this corrected. Thank you. Ed Thompson
The Chomsky dilemma
Hello guys. I saw your recent episodes covering the Chomsky-Epstein connection. My question is, to what extent can we separate the art from the artist? I love Chomsky, and have admired his work for years. I also don’t believe in guilt by association. I don’t believe everyone that engaged with Epstein after his first prison stint is a criminal. However, I don’t want to minimise Epstein’s crimes either. What are your honest thoughts? I’m leaning towards forgiveness myself, but I want to hear what you guys think. P.s. love the show, I’ve been here from the start!
