Ep. 21 - Election Special: Democracy on The Line

The Wayne Besen Show

This week’s election is one of the most important in American history. Republicans are running more than 300 election deniers who traffic in the Big Lie. Our show begins with Wayne offering the Top 10 reasons why people should vote for Democrats.

Next, we talk about how it’s time for the NBA to put the kybosh on Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving, who was suspended for promoting an antisemitic movie. We compare the abominable behavior of Kyrie Irving with former NBA legend Dwayne Wade, who defended Zaya, his transgender daughter, against his transphobic ex-wife.

Wayne talks about Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, which he is turning into an unseemly moral sewer where Nazis go to network and bigots like to bloviate. Then, Wayne interviews Matt Gertz, Senior fellow at Media Matters, who talks about the proliferation of right-wing conspiracy theories and how they are impacting America.

In the next segment, Wayne talks about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ latest attack on the LGBTQ community. Wayne then interviews Heidi Beirich of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism about intolerance in midterm election campaigns.

Wayne ends the show with a discussion on how misogyny is alive and well at FOX News. The network aired a segment where host Greg Gutfeld condescendingly told Jessica Tarlov that she was “too emotional”.
