Matt Lewis Can't Lose

Dive into the fascinating discussion with Ross Benes, author of '1999: The Year Low Culture Conquered America and Kickstarted Our Bizarre Times,' on how the 1990s pop culture revolution — fueled by Jerry Springer, pro wrestling, reality TV, and media deregulation — shaped modern politics, including the rise of Donald Trump. From the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to the Attitude Era of WWE, explore how lowbrow entertainment, technology, and cultural shifts created the polarized, tribal world we live in today. Matt Lewis and Ross Benes unpack the contradictions of conservatism, the impact of 90s icons like Stone Cold Steve Austin, and why Gen X might never produce a president.
