About this Episode

In this episode of the Chris and Andre Show, the guys about the final days of the Trump presidency and the behavior of the GOP, the influence technology and social media has had on the American public and the potential for impactful legislation, then circle back to politics to talk about the Capitol Riots and the future of both the Republican party and the former first-family.

NOTE: This episode was recorded on January 19th but Chris is slow and took this long to get it edited...

(00:01:22) Politics - Chris and Andre laugh at the people complaining about President Biden when he hasn’t even been inaugurated yet and the arguments over how to structure shared power in the Senate, chastise Lindsay Graham and other GOP members for their behavior in recent weeks.

(00:18:19) Technology - The guys share their astonishment at people’s willingness to accept what they read on the internet and the lack of critical thinking among adults, discuss the future of platforms’ responsibility to monitor and moderate content on their sites and the fallacy of the GOP argument against censorship by “Big Tech”, the impact of a GDPR-like law coming to the United States and the shrinking of the Dark Web.

(00:39:40) Politics...again? - Chris and Andre talk about the attempted Insurrection at The Capitol and the mindset of the people involved, and the GOP’s decision to placate to a minority of voters even after Trump lost the most recent election, the rumors that Rudy Guiliani was shopping pardons for $2 million.

The guys both share their opinion on Mike Pence’s lack of action during the final days of Trump’s term, but Chris gets especially worked up and stumbles upon the title of the episode in the process.

The conversation turns back to the crowd at the Capitol Riots and Chris goes on a tirade about the two groups he thinks were represented in the crowd, Andre politely listens and then provides his perspective and explains why it’s wrong to compare what happened to the Black Lives Matter protests last summer.

The guys close things out with a discussion about the future of the Trump family and what life after the White House will be like for them.

(01:32:36) Closing Thoughts - The guys make their final remarks, including a scathing verbal assault on Donald Trump Jr. and Chris sharing his thoughts for missed opportunities for campaign slogans for President Biden.
