Ryan seems to hang quite a bit on the fact that he was a Green a quarter century ago. Maybe it would actually be worthwhile for BP to interview some of the 150+ Greens who hold local elected office across the United States today. Or have a discussion with Green Party members in Allegheny County in Pennsylvania who have stood in solidarity on picket lines with striking workers. Or Green Party members who are making the case to friends and neighbors in communities across the country about why it actually makes sense to vote for the only candidate who has centered Palestinian humanity and opposition to genocide who is on more than enough state ballots to reach 270. It's very frustrating to constantly watch Green Party members talked about in this abstract, dismissive tone without actually giving us an opportunity to speak for ourselves. If it was good enough for RFKJ voters, it's good enough for us, too.

Hey Breakers,
We're aware of an issue a section of our audience is having on mobile phones with YouTube links sending them to the home page instead of the BP show of the day.
We've alerted our YouTube managers to the situation and hope to get a fix soon.
In the meantime our suggestion is to update your YouTube App or Phone IOS and try again as this technical glitch seems to only be happening to certain people.
Sorry for the annoyance with Big Tech we're working to get it fixed ASAP!

Saagar, some helpful advice:
Instead of framing this property tax thing as a generational war, put it into class war terms. You will alienate fewer people that way, while still making the same fundamental points. It comes off like you hate old people because they are old. This makes people defensive, because nobody can help it if they are old. And there are many older people who have to work at Walmart and so on, because of financial issues completely out of their control. The bad guys, as always, are the wealthy, not an entire age demograohic.
Wealthy accelerationists are actively trying to destroy civil society so they can enact their technofeudalism wet dreams. They are using this issue of property taxes as a Trojan horse-- one step in their plan to completely dismantle all government.
A slight emphasis change, is all you need.
Really hope this Democrats “reminding” service members and intelligence officers to only follow lawful orders and Trumps reaction is covered.
Honestly Those democrats crossed a line explicitly to cause disorder. Worst case it could cost lives.
If a service member or or intelligence agent simply disobeyed a order they believed was unlawful they would lose their career and living and those democrats would leave them out to dry.
The example I like to bring up is:
What if the service member believes Israel is committing a genocide. (Like the international courts have determined and several members of congress have stated). Could the service member or intelligence officer refuse to follow those orders? We have laws forbidding support of genocide.
Trump calling for their deaths definitely crossed a line.
