Journalist Parker Molloy & social commentator W. Kamau Bell join me to discuss how the right-wing meltdown over Superman reveals the GOP's weaponization of pop culture to fuel their racist politics.
Waj!! I'm sitting here at work listening to this, loving the entire conversation, and you tell everyone that your daughter just passed the five-year mark cancer free. I'm crying tears of joy!!! I'm so happy for your family! Thanks for sharing your joy with all of us.
… and then the centrist Democrats tell us to lay off the more left-wing issues, like we aren’t going to defend our trans friends when they are brutally attacked. Thanks for saying it out loud Waj!
NOT a single person that uses "Woke" as an insult has ever defined what woke means to them. And if by "Woke", they mean someone who is aware of the challenges and obstacles that so many people face while trying to live their lives, then I'm proud to be called "Woke".
Woke: one who believes in facts, data, science, equality, freedom and the Constitution!
That’s why I love wearing this "Stay Woke" t-shirt everywhere I go 👇
These MAGA people love rightwing movies. They never say "stop alienating half the audience" when someone makes rightwing movies like "Ladyballers." But when a movie has even the slightest bit of liberalism, they fly off the handle and act like snowflakes.
The Right cant create culture and have to steal it is because they are uneducated, hateful ignoramuses. Everything that fosters creativity, education, travel, the arts, the humanities, science, other cultures, other races other religions, nature, acceptance--they hate. They will never evolve. They are a dead inside group.
Superman is Kind? What is wrong with him? He should be out there victimizing innocent people so that he can steal there belongings and acquire millions of dollars for himself. Why come to Earth and live in America if you're not preying on the weak? What is Superman, some kind of commie?
OK, I'm kidding. I don't care at all about Superman, but this is just one more instance of the Right being utterly evil. There doesn't seem to be anything they won't do to create an idiotic right wing crusade. They've got to keep people angry and fighting. If they can do that, then people won't spend the time needed to do some serious thinking and begin to understand just what the American Right is doing to this country and that includes the vast majority of Trump and Republican supporters/voters.

So great. A donated portion of a liver for a 9 year old girl to live!
“Superman is an immigrant” might be my next rally slogan.
Thank you for your comment and great conversation with . Mr. Acosta. It gave me more insight to the up coming election’s.

They're gonna call the Superman movie woke just because he’s nice to people. Don't engage with them. Just go see the movie!
Superman has been and will always be a defender of democracy and decency and kindness

How wonderful!!
Jake Tapper SUCKS!!!!
I LOVED W. Kamau Bell’s show and Reza Aslan’s show on CNN. They were both so great! And there’s nothing like that on CNN anymore😓
Your knowledge gives me hope in the upcoming elections. Many thanks.
