Matt Binder Already Got Owned Again. This Time It Was On His Own Show.

Matt Binder isn't having a particularly good week.

They need to change the "Bad Luck Brian" meme to "Bad Luck Binder."

Matt Binder has been having quite a fucked up week, as it seems every time he does a show - whether it be his own or someone else's - he's just been getting owned constantly.

Last night, Matt Binder went live on his YouTube channel to talk about his appearance the night before on Tim Pool's podcast, TimcastIRL.

He spent a good bit of time refuting (outside the presence of Tim Pool of course) Pool's argument from the night before, but something interesting happened sometime around the middle of the livestream (which we took the liberty of timestamping for you on the YouTube link there).

A man who said he'd watched Matt Binder's appearance on TimcastIRL called in and began to ask him about economics.

If you haven't read our article about Binder's conversation about economics on TimcastIRL the night before this event occurred, then you can read it here. To recap briefly, Matt Binder was grilled briefly about inflation and economics, and proved he really didn't know much about the topic. Luckily for Binder, Pool dropped the topic pretty quickly when it became clear Binder was out of his depth.

Binder wasn't as lucky the next night on his own show. The man's call lasted about 15 minutes and he absolutely lambasted Binder's ignorance of American economic policy and how the fractional reserve banking system works, saying that a progressive political talk show host should at least be able to defend progressive economic policies when pressed about them.

But Binder wasn't able to defend them. Binder admitted during the argument that even though he did believe in Modern Monetary Theory, he actually didn't have any clue how much money the United States Federal Reserve could safely print without causing major issues through the economy.

Interestingly, Matt Binder was smacked down so much during the 15-minute debate that it almost seemed as if the caller knew exactly how Binder would respond to all of his questions. He kept hitting him with question after question grilling Binder on economic policy and again and again Binder didn't have answers, frequently admitting that he was far out of his depth during the conversation.

Hilariously, at one point the caller asked Matt Binder if "Sam Seder would be a better person for [him] to debate" on the subject, to which Matt Binder only responded, "probably."

Matt Binder is a nice guy and I'm not trying to pick on him too much here. But the caller to his show last night made some pretty good points - including the fact that a progressive radio talk show host should be able to defend modern monetary theory when pressed about it, and should certainly be able to articulate how they'd be able to pay for the social welfare programs they claim to support.

Our advice from EndingPolitics.com to Matt Binder is to bone up on economics, and learn to defend the social welfare policies you advocate for. One of the last things the caller suggested Matt Binder do before he was hung up on was to purchase a copy of Ron Paul's End the Fed on eBay. We think that's probably pretty good advice too, at least to get started.
