Tony B. Graham - American Politics 101

The Hangout with Rushdi

Hey guys, I sat down with Tony B Graham who is a banker but also does comedy and improv.. WAIT! I know what you’re thinking but this isn’t about comedy or improv even though we slightly cover it. The main reason I asked Tony to drop by The Hangout is to cover American Politics because like many people who were born and brought up in the desert I have no idea how it works on that side! About Tony B Graham – 1:30 Comedy, Improv, Banking even China! How are all these connected? Tony! Having an outlet – 07:00 Discussion with Tony about having an outlet irrespectively of one having a career and him getting into performance arts. He goes onto talk about how its important and also how performing helps with presenting yourself well in an office scenario and in general. Comedy vs Improv – 13:44 We talked about our experiences and which one gives you a better experience as a person overall. Also we cover how it helps people with managing fear and even with managing difficult scenarios at work. American Politics 101 - 17:50 Self-explanatory and extremely valuable to people who are not well versed in American Politics. I have not time stamped the rest of our conversation because this is such a valuable chunk of information that I refuse to time stamp each question. These are some of the questions and are not the complete that I asked:- What is a democrat, liberal and republican? What do they stand for and what do they want? What does being “left” and “right” mean? Why can’t there be a balance between the parties? What is being “too” left and right? Can moderation be attained by the USA? What is a midterm? How do you make an amendment to the constitution? Current political climate – 51:00 I conclude by asking Tony for his opinion on current events and how he thinks things are going to go down as well as where he hopes it heads. How does the American election affect the rest of the world? – 56:48 I think this is the most I’ve ever given time to American Politics and no lie gained so much knowledge and Tony is such an encyclopedia of information, thank you so much! As always, please like, share, subscribe, slap, complain and lets make The Hangout great again! Rushdi
