Chapo Trap House: Episode 166 - The Water Genious feat. Nomiki Konst (12/10/17)

December 11, 2017 10:41 AM

This week they talk to Young Turk and Bernie surrogate Nomiki Konst about the DNC unity commission and its proposed reforms to the Democratic primary system, discuss the horrific Daniel Shaver murder video and the general problem with the cops, then lighten the mood by examining the savage AF super lit teen YouTube sensation Jake Paul and close by putting Virgil Texas' disdain for tap water to the test with a blind water tasting.

They play a portion of the Daniel Shaver shooting video at 30:00 in, as a heads up. They do a pretty extensive discussion of just how policing has turned into an occupying force in American cities and end with broaching the subject under the name Police Abolition, which I thought they did a really good job of for people unfamiliar with the term.

I like the joke about how Hillary was like McGovern because she also lost an election, which only makes sense to people who have a certain set of dumbass election hot takes.
