67. Klobbering Klobuchar vs. Howling Hawley (patreon promo)

Published: May 8, 2021, 6:41 a.m.

b'We give y\\u2019all an update on the state of antitrust politics in the US by riffing on two new books about antitrust that offer two different visions from two senators: Amy Klobuchar and Josh Hawley. It\\u2019s a knock-down drag-out match for the trustbuster title. In the center corner is Klobbering Klobuchar, offering a pretty good history, plenty of fire and fury, but with little weight behind her punches. In the far, far, far right corner is Howling Hawley, doing his damndest to confuse his foes into submission with revisionism, bullshit, and buffoonery. Our referee for this title fight is Matt \\u201cThe Brawler\\u201d Stoller.
