Episode 57 - The One About Competence

Published: June 26, 2020, 10:45 p.m.

In this episode I talk about the pandemic, a couple of news stories, and why I consider competence to be the most important attributes for an elected official.

\n

I\u2019ve included, with permission, clips of Justin Robert Young (JuRY) interviewing folks waiting for last week\u2019s Trump rally in Tulsa, OK. I\u2019m interested in how folks who attend Trump rallies think, and I don\u2019t get much chance to talk to them. These clips are a narrow window into how they see the world.

\n

Some of the clips are relatively long because I wanted them to have some context. If you want to get the full context of these clips please listen to JuRY\u2019s Politics,Politics,Politics podcast episodes from Friday June 19th and Monday June 22nd:
