Jake Flores is a stand-up comedian and the host of Pod Damn America. Jake joins Brett to talk about his house visit from Department of Homeland Security agents because of a joke about ICE that he posted on twitter the day before. They also talk about comedy as a vehicle for radical politics, how SESTA-FOSTA hurts sex workers, Millennial culture, why reactionaries suck at comedy, and much more!
