Ep. 147: The Pete Mystique
BOOT. EDGE. EDGE. It’s the three words on everyone’s lips that is secretly one last name of young white man from Indiana with mediocre ideas and virtually no experience. Pete has made it to first place in Iowa polls which means that everyone has to talk about him. For all of the leftists podcasters, it means we all have to shit on him. We try to walk through everything you (unfortunately) need to know about Pete aside from your natural instinct that this RHODES SCHOLAR from the MCKINSEY INSTITUTE should not be trusted.
