#180: Why Should Nazis Be Able to Disrupt a Pride Event? Cellar Door Skeptics is back this week to talk about Nazi’s. While we still promote the punching of nazis we need to look at what happened at the Detroit Pride Festival this last week. What appears to be either a purposeful ignorance on the detroit police departments behalf or a misplaced thoughtful guesture to try and keep things civil, Detroit Police gave an escort to the NSM Nazi movement that decided to protest the Pride Festival in Detroit Michigan. We take a deep dive into what it means for free speech rights as well as some past court cases that could guide us to understand what the motive was for protecting a group that literally wants other minority groups to either leave the country or to be exterminated.

#177: Has Trump been a good President? Tonight the episode looks into a debate that was had between two passionate individuals. One of those individuals is a trump supporter and believes that Trump has been a great president. The other debater does not feel that trump is a good president and is hopeful of a change next election cycle. The debate format is casual, with Christopher Tanner acting as the moderator. The concept of the debate is to allow for the two to discuss some major points about his presidency, policies and some overarching issues of the Republican Party. The debate initially started when Dallas offered $300 to anyone willing to debate him on if Trump is a great president. They agreed to donate the money to charity once the debate is over. ———————— Dallas D is taking the side that Trump is a great president and has done a great job. His bio: “I’m just a guy who likes debating ideas. I am a Nashville musician with a casual interest in politics. Mike and I grew up in the same town and

#176: How State's Rights Fail Women The show goes back to its roots this week with a live episode looking at different current events and some interesting information they felt was worthy of an episode. As we begin the show, we look into Trump’s desire to steal and claim quotes and accomplishments for his own even if he did not actually affect the outcome. Trump has been given the GEOTUS title more than once, but really is he god or god-like? We look at his ridiculous claim made this week. Later we discuss the new abortion laws that continue to strip women of their rights. We look at a couple of articles that have come out discussing the horrific nature and what precedent it could set. The episode takes a quick step to the science end of the universe to talk about if Dinosaurs could have been dragons. The last segment is a discussion on price fixing by drug companies. The show ends as usual with the duo’s Quick Saves of the week. Subscribe: http://www.spreaker.com/user/cellardoorskeptics Facebook

#174: Wight Walkers Carbon Foot Print The shows starts off with the duo talking about End Game and the recent GOT epic battle. They try and leave out all the spoilers and focus just on their experiences with these shows. The show continues with examining if Non-believers could be the key to swing the election for the democrats or if it will just be another Trump 2020 pony show.

#172: Sir Scams A lot Cellar Door Skeptics are back this week after a one week hiatus. We apologize for the week off and come back full force this week to talk about some important topics. This week the duo talks about digital remote diagnosis that has been sweeping the country and is what some has lauded as an answer to expensive doctors visits. The discussion centers around if this is worth it and what the constraints to this method of diagnosis could be.

The show takes a dive back into politics this week as we look at the difference between Andrew Yang’s policy proposals and Bernie Sanders Proposals. With the 2020 election geering up, we felt it would be a benefit to look into if there was differences between two candidates. We our joined b y our podcast friend Boyce from Mindful Skeptics right here in West Michigan as we meet up to share our opinions on the subject. This episode broke on of our oaths to not discuss candidates till closer to the election, but we felt that there was enough buzz between the two candidates that it was worth examining. We still will not side with any one specific candidate, but we will look at these two and determine if there is any similarities between them and if it is worth even looking at Mr Yang.
