  <description>The guys express frustration with the country's racial and misogynistic undertones, noting that polls and pundits failed to capture these sentiments. They also criticize the media for sensationalism and discuss the potential negative impacts of Trump's policies, particularly on education and rural communities. Ultimately, both agree that the country is heading in a troubling direction, with little hope for meaningful change in the near future.

  <description>The guys discuss the ineffectiveness of Trump's tax cuts, the unfeasibility of sealing the border, and the impracticality of large-scale deportations. They also question the GOP's commitment to protecting Social Security and Medicare, and the feasibility of their energy and economic policies. 
The conversation emphasizes the GOP's focus on rhetoric over substance, and the potential negative impact of their policies on various sectors, especially manufacturing and education.

(00:39:43) 8. PREVENT WORLD WAR THREE, RESTORE PEACE IN EUROPE AND IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AND BUILD A GREAT IRON DOME MISSILE DEFENSE SHIELD OVER OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY -- ALL MADE IN AMERICA
(00:41:54) 9. END THE WEAPONIZATION OF GOVERNMENT AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
(00:45:51) 10. STOP THE MIGRANT CRIME EPIDEMIC, DEMOLISH THE FOREIGN DRUG CARTELS, CRUSH GANG VIOLENCE, AND LOCK UP VIOLENT OFFENDERS
(00:48:56) 11. REBUILD OUR CITIES, INCLUDING WASHINGTON DC, MAKING THEM SAFE, CLEAN, AND BEAUTIFUL AGAIN.
(00:50:48) 12. STRENGTHEN AND MODERNIZE OUR MILITARY, MAKING IT, WITHOUT QUESTION, THE STRONGEST AND MOST POWERFUL IN THE WORLD
(00:54:19) 13. KEEP THE U.S. DOLLAR AS THE WORLD'S RESERVE CURRENCY

  <description>In this edition of THE BIG RANT, Chris and Andre share their exhaustion over the midterm elections and the abundance of yard signs and political advertisements seemingly everywhere.
The guys kick things off discussing how ridiculous political ads have become and the need to smear an opponent rather than informing the voters about your positions. Also, did you know that political ads are legally allowed to be misleading?
Next, they long for the days of reasonable political debates amongst friends and colleagues and admit that it seems that ship has sailed and the United States was not on board when it did.

  <description>In this edition of THE BIG RANT, Chris and Andre discuss the January 6th Committee's hearings so far and the revelations they have uncovered, but also why they both feel it will ultimately lead to nothing of substance happening to anyone beyond the rioters themselves. 
Along the way, they talk about gerrymandering and it's role in leading us to this point, the false concept of American Exceptionalism, their respect for the committee and its members, what they believe it will take to actually make change happen in this country, and the ongoing hypocrisy of both political parties.
