In this exclusive Unfiltered episode, Rachel and Meseidy dive into the controversial concept of the "Woke Right" that's been buzzing around social media. They break down James Lindsay's attempts to label certain conservative figures as "woke right" and question whether this new term is actually helpful or just another unnecessary label in today's polarized political landscape. The hosts explore how the Republican party, now a "big tent" following the 2024 election, handles internal disagreements compared to the left's conformity, examining recent controversies involving Tucker Carlson, Matt Walsh, Dave Smith, and others. Get ready for an honest, unfiltered conversation about political realignment, identity politics, and why Diet Coke makes a better Mother's Day gift than flowers (seriously).

• Origins of "Woke Right" - Rachel and Meseidy explain the origins of the "woke right" term and James Lindsay's role in popularizing it as a critique of certain conservative figures.
• Left vs Right Wokeness - The hosts discuss the fundamental differences between "wokeness" on the left versus what Lindsay labels as "woke right" on the conservative side.
• Big Tent Politics - The conversation explores how the Republican party's "big tent" approach naturally leads to more internal debate compared to the left's conformity.
• Real Problems vs Labels - Meseidy breaks down the controversial Barstool Sports bar incident as an example of actual problematic behavior versus Lindsay's broader labeling.
