In this installment of Best Of The Gist, we explore a few catchy political slogans that turned out to be deceptive, confusing, or just kind of dumb. First we listen to Tuesday’s spiel about the expression “From the river to the sea,” and then we listen back to Mike’s June 5, 2020 spiel about the slogan “Defund the police.”    Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara  Email us at <a href= "http://thegist@mikepesca.com">thegist@mikepesca.com</a>  To advertise on the show: <a href= "https://advertisecast.com/TheGist">https://advertisecast.com/TheGist</a>  Subscribe to our ad-free and/or PescaPlus versions of The Gist: <a href= "https://subscribe.mikepesca.com/">https://subscribe.mikepesca.com/ </a> Follow Mike’s Substack: <a href= "https://mikepesca.substack.com/">Pesca Profundities | Mike Pesca | Substack</a>  Learn more about your ad choices.

Every Little Thing Xi Does Is Tragic

For thirty minutes each day, Pesca challenges himself and his audience, in a responsibly provocative style, and gets beyond the rigidity and dogma. The Gist is surprising, reasonable, and willing to critique the left, the right, either party, or any idea.
