Chapo Trap House: Episode 97 - Hollywood Upstairs Medical College feat. Tim Faust (4/6/17)

April 6, 2017 5:22 PM

From the boys:

Our friend Tim Faust (@crulge) talks healthcare: Obamacare, Ryancare, and a vision for an American road to single payer, aka Chapocare.

Tim Faust was apparently the first one to realize that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac killer.

After an outpouring of requests from subscribers, the boys decided to release this premium episode on the free feed.

I think it's because the topic is so timely.

The show is a bit wonky and detail-oriented, but I thought Tim did a good job on most of the issues.

I thought it was a pretty great episode, though I still have some trouble with the idea of sharing it. As much as I like Chapo even at their best they tend to be filthy, if not twitter-reference-heavy.

I was really impressed with Faust. Pithy, informed & quick-witted. This is exactly who we need to explain single payer to the masses

That's understandable. At the same time, people who would ignore an interview about the American healthcare debacle because the people doing the interview use swear words probably would have ignored it if it had been 100% clean.
