In this episode of the show Joseph & Rob discuss the politicization of the Las Vegas shooting, PewDiePie's use of a naughty word, NFL players kneeling to God-Emperor Trump, and California's pro HIV stance. Corrections: Toward the end of the first segment I say "there is no corollary evidence that violence causes videogames". I decided to leave this in because I found it funny that I mixed the two up, but I just want to assure everyone that I'm well aware of it.

In this very first episode of the show Joseph & Rob embark on discussing CNN's lack of journalistic integrity and an idiot's attempt to get back at Trump by shooting at a bunch of people who aren't Trump. Afterwards they discuss their views on Immigration. This episode is dedicated to Clarindia Williams AKA Aunt Anne. May you rest in peace with the angels. Corrections: - This video is a remaster. Link to the original upload: https://youtu.be/VCNEkjpflhg - Didn't note in the episode: what Trump tweeted out was a video, not a gif. This means that CNN may have tracked down the wrong guy. - The Republican who mentioned CNN's possible statute violations was Ted Cruz (tweets linked below). - The Shooter was not payed by the Bernie Sanders campaign. We note this in the episode, but I figured I'd put it down here just to be safe (also, article linked below).
