The Chappelle Controversy
Jason and Ravi are joined for the first time by Majority 54 producer Edie Allard to discuss the pop culture controversy dominating the news: Dave Chappelle's Netflix comedy special, "The Closer." They discuss why the special is so controversial, the true meaning of the term "TERF," the limits of free speech, and whether comedy should be given special considerations. Plus, they respond to problematic comments from The Right about Mayor Pete's parental leave and revisit the Ivermectin conversation.
