The Politics and Culture Of A Cuban Baseball Nerd

Today Dan sits down with a good buddy of about 10 years now. The worlds kindest, gentlest Cuban baseball nerd. Roger runs a show called The Tigers Minor League Report where he covers the minor league system of the Detroit Tigers as well as the Big Club in Detroit. He also wrights for Fansided.com covering baseball prospects.Roger is not much of a political guy. Which is a big reason for the discussion in the first place since doing what we do, we have tendency to fall into a wormhole of hyper political and hyper cultural discourse. Often forgetting the pulse of every day America. And Roger is just that: Every day America. He is the average, everyday American that is trying to pursue what he loves, make a living, feed himself, his family, and his little wiggle-butt of a pitbull, Lucy. He’s not terminally online doom scrolling for the next culture war explosion.Roger and Dan discuss hispanic politics. And how polling numbers continue to show that hispanics are continually more disaffected and politically homeless all the time. It’s a demographic that isn’t afraid to tell the Democratic Party that identity politics aren’t what they care about. And their personal history plays a roll. It also doesn't mean that hispanic voters have gone "Right Wing" all of a sudden, either. So, keep your pants on.They talk about race and how in his experience, hispanic voters don’t relate very well to the pushing identity politics. And the crazy idea that maybe racism isn’t just a white, European phenomenon. What?!... Yea. They talk about immigration, and the contribution of the Hispanic community to our economy, which is no small thing,AND A TON MORE!IF YOU LIKE: The Free Press Dan Carlin Breaking Points With Krystal & Saagar The Fifth Column Reason Magazine The Reason Round Table The Grayzone Dave Smith's "Part of the Problem" Blocked and Reported NPR Based Politics The Daily Wire StatusCoup The Jordan Harbinger Show The Jimmy Dore Show The Joe Rogan Experience Useful Idiots "Pushback" With Aaron Matè "Honestly" With Bari Weiss Matt Taibbi Glen Greenwald Aaron Matè Max Blumenthal
