Joseph Sternberg, Editorial Board Member of the Wall Street Journal, examines the release of Dr. Anthony Fauci's pandemic-era diaries, which reveal a dichotomy between his private doubts and public pronouncements regarding COVID-19's origins. Sternberg suggests Fauci became pathologically obsessed with his media coverage, positioning himself as an antagonist to Donald Trump to maintain his "star" status. The discussion also covers the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Sternberg notes that young voters, disillusioned by the economy, are increasingly drawn to the DSA's radical, government-led solutions. He questions whether this movement can succeed in purple states. (3)1918 ST LOUIS RED CROSS
SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW. 8-4-2026.1900 ST. LAWRENCEColonel Jeff McCausland, United States Army (Retired), discusses the critical depletion of United States missile stockpiles, particularly Patriot and THAAD systems, due to the intensifying war with Iran. He notes that these shortages might force a transition toward piloted bombing missions using heavy aircraft like the B-2 and B-52 for deep penetration. Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, McCausland highlights that Iran's ability to deploy sea mines and drones makes military reopening difficult. Turning to Ukraine, he predicts Vladimir Putin will escalate through mobilization rather than negotiation as both sides increasingly target food supplies in the Black Sea. (1)Judy Dempsey, Senior Scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, describes a Europe struggling with record heat, wildfires, and critically low river levels that are hampering nuclear power and agriculture. She argues these patterns reflect a deteriorating climate requiring a global response. The conversation shifts to a massive migration incident where 60,000 young men attempted to enter a Spanish exclave from Morocco. Dempsey explains that this surge is being exploited by far-right parties across Europe, such as the AfD in Germany, who capitalize on voter dissatisfaction. She notes that despite bilateral labor agreements, the political fallout is fueling nationalism.

Sternberg notes that young voters, disillusioned by the economy, are increasingly drawn to the DSA's radical, government-led solutions. He questions whether this movement can succeed in purple states. (3)Jonathan Schanzer, Executive Director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, discusses the alarming shortage of US defensive munitions needed to intercept Iranian threats. He notes that Iran, coached by Russia and China, is exploiting this crisis to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and drive up energy prices. Schanzer also addresses the significant weakening of Hezbollah after sustained Israeli operations and the complexities of disarming Hamas in Gaza. He highlights that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu faces a political tightrope balancing military goals with international pressure. Finally, he observes the unraveling of Chinese-brokered agreements as Houthi threats against Saudi Arabia resurface. (4)Gregory Copley, Publisher of Defense & Foreign Affairs, analyzes global efforts to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, noting that Russia and China are seeking alternative trade corridors to undermine Washington's strategic influence. He suggests China is using current tensions to project American impotence before high-level diplomatic visits. Copley also discusses the "war on food" in the Black Sea, where blockades are forcing a diversification of global supplies. Turning to Ethiopia, he describes a brutal civil conflict involving ethnic factions and the use of Turkish drones against civilian targets. He concludes with the success of King Charles III at the Commonwealth Games. (5)Bill Roggio and Bridget Toomey of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies discuss the Houthis' re-entry into the regional war by declaring a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea. Roggio criticizes the Trumpadministration's lack of a forceful military response, arguing that two US destroyers are insufficient to secure vital waterways. Toomey explains that the Houthis use these attacks to re-establish domestic norms and pressure the global oil market. They note that while the Houthis operate independently, their actions align with Iranian goals to use control over maritime chokepoints as a strategic "nuclear weapon." (6)Andrea Stricker, Deputy Director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, outlines the proliferation risks associated with a proposed US-Saudi nuclear cooperation agreement. She expresses concern over uranium enrichment on Saudi soil, which could enable a nuclear weapons pathway. Stricker warns that granting enrichment rights would destroy the "gold standard" for non-proliferation and likely trigger a nuclear arms race involving Turkey and Egypt. Although President Trump has added caveats regarding the Abraham Accords, Saudi Arabia has threatened to turn to China for technology. Stricker notes the deal faces a difficult 90-day congressional review starting in September. (7)Conrad Black, distinguished biographer and National Post columnist, discusses the "aberrant" trade tensions between the US and Canada following the imposition of tariffs based on allegations of forced labor in Chinese imports. Black argues these tariffs are a legal workaround for the Trump administration to bypass the Supreme Court by declaring a national emergency. He characterizes the policy as arbitrary and offensive, noting it has dampened cross-border tourism and led to retaliatory tariffs on items like hockey sticks. Despite the current friction, Black remains optimistic that the dispute will be resolved through negotiation because he believes President Trump fundamentally likes Canada. (8)

Ever feel like politicians and pundits are using words like socialism, communism, and social democracy as boogeymen without actually explaining what they mean? You aren't alone.In this episode of Carmen Talk, Carmen takes a step back from the political noise to break down complex economic frameworks into simple, everyday terms. Prompted by an uplifting reminder of American hospitality from international World Cup visitors, Carmen dives into the definitions we hear tossed around daily—using simple analogies like a neighborhood bakery and iconic pop culture references like Star Trek: The Next Generation.In this episode, we unpack:The Bakery Breakdown: What communism, socialism, social democracy, and capitalism look like using a simple bakery example.Star Trek & Democratic Socialism: How the world of Captain Picard models an ideal where basic human needs are met and individual achievement isn't driven by money.Social Democracy vs. Democratic Socialism: Why countries like Norway and Denmark thrive under capitalism paired with strong social safety nets.The U.S. Mixed Economy: Why our current system isn't pure capitalism and where our tax dollars actually go.Cutting Through the Division: Why understanding these terms helps us stop fighting over misinformation and focus on empathy, compassion, and taking care of each other.Correction Note: During the conversation regarding DSA, the correct organization name is the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).Thank you for stopping by.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week they discuss the insane Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) agenda, Dr. Anthony Fauci invoking the Fifth Amendment to avoid questions about his handling of the Covid pandemic, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani publishing the names and addresses of "rich" people he plans to tax, and the trans community getting furious over donuts.First, they applaud Shannon Bream of the Fox News Channel for getting DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer to admit the group really wants to abolish the U.S. Senate, radically change the presidency and the U.S. Supreme Court, abolish ICE, abolish borders, abolish prisons, and more. Jim and Greg point out that some of those are mainstream positions for Democrats and others are not far away. They also welcome polling that shows socialism deeply unpopular with independents.Next, they discuss Dr. Fauci refusing to testify before Sen. Rand Paul and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, now that he's not covered by President Biden's pardon. Jim explains why this is a really bad look for Fauci and shows how the left is trying to defend Fauci in some ways while distancing itself in others. Greg notes the stunning lack of mainstream media interest in the Fauci diaries.Then, they fume over Mayor Mamdani's decision to release a database listing the names and addresses of everyone his administration sees as eligible for his new "pied-à-terre" tax aimed at owners of second homes above a certain value in the city. Jim explains how reckless this is and why aggressive pushback is needed now.Finally, they shake their heads as the Tim Horton's chain takes heat from what's now being called the 2SLGBTQ+ community because Tim Horton's plans to create Harry Potter-themed treats next month.Please visit our great sponsors:OneSkinGet 15% off OneSkin Summer Bundles with promo code 3ML at https://oneskin.co/3mlQuoMoney is on the line.

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates are winning primaries, but could they hurt Democrats' chances for victories in swing states where most voters aren't leftists? Florida Daily Show hosts Ed Dean and Lindsay Randall discuss the dynamics with NewSouthPolitics.com editor Matt O'Hern
Political candidates affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are winning elections in a wave that the left could only have dreamt of some years ago.
Monique and Krista examine the difference between secular “liberation” and true freedom in Christ while reacting to Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) co-chair Megan Romer's candid remarks about making conditions intolerable for the ruling class. In the second half, they look at the opposite extreme in a Dale Partridge clip advocating balkanization and an ethno-state, noting the horseshoe effect of structural overthrow on both fringes.

This news packed episode opens with an extensive discussion about alleged illegal fishing activities conducted by vessels linked to the Chinese Communist Party. The Senator argues that Chinese distant-water fishing fleets operate on a massive scale, engaging in illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing that harms marine ecosystems, depletes fish populations, damages local fishing industries, and relies on forced labor practices. He describes efforts to combat these operations through sanctions and increased Coast Guard monitoring. The conversation then shifts to U.S. politics, focusing on the perceived rise of socialist and progressive influence within the Democratic Party.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on the insane Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) agenda, another pause in the Iran war, the shocking revelations from Fauci's diary, and the Greeks scoring a military success in the Middle East.First, they applaud Shannon Bream of the Fox News Channel for getting DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer to admit the group really wants to abolish the U.S. Senate, radically change the presidency and the U.S. Supreme Court, abolish ICE, abolish borders, abolish prisons, and more. Jim and Greg point out that some of those are mainstream positions for Democrats and others are not far away.

Jim says there are two or three likely ways this war will end and none of them are ideal. They also discuss reports that U.S. Patriot missile supplies are dwindling.Then, they shake their heads as Sen. Rand Paul releases the Fauci diaries from the COVID years, revealing Fauci knew as early as January of 2020 that the virus did not originate from a wet market.

Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about his belief that America remains an exceptionally blessed nation and his concerns about the influence of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) on public education and American values. While acknowledging the country's political and cultural divisions, Brett argues that the United States continues to offer unparalleled opportunity and freedom compared to the rest of the world. He contends that the DSA is seeking to expand its influence beyond college campuses and into K-12 schools, claiming the group's long-term goal is to reshape the nation's institutions and values. Brett criticizes what he describes as radical proposals, including eliminating key branches of government, and warns that such ideas threaten the Constitution and America's founding principles. He also points to recent unrest in several cities as evidence that Americans must remain vigilant in defending freedom, civic responsibility, and the country's constitutional system, encouraging listeners to actively stand up for the values they believe have made the United States strong.

In Hour 2 of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James opens by addressing citizen surveillance concerns, focusing on leased Flock license-plate cameras and automated parking tracking, while questioning the political appeal and transparency of candidate Darlene Graham in South Carolina's U.S. Senate race. The conversation shifts to foreign affairs as James takes listener calls and highlights the U.S. military's deployment of B-1B Lancer bombers against targets in Iran. Turning back to domestic politics, James challenges voters supporting Darlene Graham to explain their backing and cautions against the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). He concludes the hour by offering listeners a clear breakdown differentiating temporary social safety-net programs from systemic state-controlled socialism.
Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they sift through the wild Democratic primary for governor in Wisconsin, Islamist attacks in New York City described as mental health issues, USA Today's bonkers column tying defenders of the WNBA's Caitlin Clark to lynch mobs in the 1960s, and the government failing to track hundreds of billions in grants to the states.First, they dig into the dysfunctional Democratic primary for governor in the Badger State. The frontrunner is an avowed Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidate. The governor's preferred candidate had to drop out because her own staff cooked the books and the campaign ran out of money. And the other candidates are a mess too. Jim and Greg pop the popcorn.Next, they sigh as two obvious Islamist extremist stabbings in New York City get described as possible hate crimes but also possible mental health issues. They also wince while remembering that Mamdani will play a prominent role in the 25th anniversary observances of 9/11 terrorist attacks in just a few weeks.Then, they rip USA Today sports columnist and relentless woke warrior Nancy Armour for denouncing defenders of Caitlin Clark as white nationalists and comparing them to the lynch mob that killed Emmett Till in 1955. Jim and Greg discuss the insanity of that analogy. Jim also details how the WNBA is thoroughly committed to financial failure.Finally, they groan as a new watchdog report shows that we cannot trace the final destination of nearly 75 percent of $958.6 billion in state grants.Please visit our great sponsors: LarinecoRight now, Larineco is offering our listeners up to 50% off at https://BuyLarine.com/3MLNoble GoldOwn the metal the future depends on with the help of Noble Gold.

SCHEDULE FOR THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-22-2026.1740 BATAVIA MASSACREGordon Chang and Rick Fisher examine Xi Jinping's introduction of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization (WAICO), designed to establish Chinese dominance in setting global AI rules. Headquartered in Shanghai, the group aims to make international partners dependent on Chinese technology while promoting anti-democratic values. Meanwhile, China's economy is struggling, with real growth potentially near zero. Despite manufacturing strengths, China remains vulnerable due to a critical lack of high-end Nvidia chips required for advanced AI development. (1)Gordon Chang and Peter Huessy discuss the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) bill to drastically reduce the U.S. nuclear triad, including cutting ICBMs from 400 to 150. Supported by Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, the plan effectively promotes unilateral disarmament. Critics argue this trashes the concept of nuclear deterrence just as China and Russia expand their arsenals. Furthermore, there is a widespread "miseducation" of Americans regarding the necessity of a modernized nuclear deterrent. (2)Gordon Chang and Victoria Coates report that Iran has activated the Houthis to attack the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a critical choke point for Saudi Arabian oil exports. This escalation has pushed oil prices past $95 as the Houthis use Iranian-supplied missiles and drones to harass shipping. While the House of Saud is targeted, internal frictions between Saudi Arabia and the UAE complicate a unified regional response. The conflict represents a major humanitarian and economic disaster for global commerce. (3)Gordon Chang and Victoria Coates continue: China benefits from discounted Iranian oil but views the regime's economic instability as a "bad debt." Simultaneously, Saudi Arabia is deepening its partnership with the U.S. through a landmark nuclear cooperation deal. Iraq has also signaled a shift toward Washington, signing $60 billion in energy deals with American companies like Chevron. While Russia seeks to sell extra capacity to Asia, Ukrainian strikes on refineries may hinder Putin's ability to remain a reliable energy supplier. (4)Peter Earle traces how the word "trillion" entered the economic lexicon in 1981 when the U.S. passed $1 trillion in public debt. Today, the U.S. national debt approaches $40 trillion, with annual interest payments exceeding $1 trillion. Unlike 19th-century millionaires who faced high risks, modern trillion-dollar figures are often a product of government monetary expansion. We have entered "Trillionstan," where massive quantities of money are common, yet their long-term significance is often overlooked by the public. (5)Peter Earle argues that not all trillions are equal; some represent genuine wealth creation, such as SpaceX's $2 trillion valuation based on future technological potential. However, inflation and government borrowing have also inflated nominal values, potentially leading to a fiscal reckoning. If creditors lose faith in U.S. debt, the government may be forced to print more money, further devaluing the currency. Maintaining prosperity requires ensuring that economic forces focus on creating new wealth rather than merely redistributing it. (6)Henry Sokolski warns that the Trump administration's nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia allows the kingdom to enrich uranium, a process that can easily be diverted for bomb-making. Saudi Arabia has rejected the "additional protocol" for rigorous UN inspections, raising concerns about their true intentions. This "black box" arrangement lacks sufficient safeguards to prevent a rapid diversion of nuclear materials. Critics warn that providing enrichment technology to an ally involved in regional warfare is inherently delusional and dangerous. (7)Henry Sokolski continues: the Saudi nuclear deal could trigger a proliferation race, with nations like Egypt, Turkey, and the UAE demanding similar enrichment rights. Furthermore, allies such as South Korea and Poland may reconsider their own nuclear ambitions if they view American security guarantees as insufficient. Proliferation is no longer "old news" but a growing threat as nations seek their own deterrents. The result is a destabilized global order where multiple states hover on the verge of nuclear weapon status. (8)Michael Bernstam explains how Ukrainian drone strikes have destroyed 30% of Russia's refining capacity, causing the "crack spread"—the profit margin for refining oil—to triple worldwide. While Russia exports crude, it now suffers from severe domestic shortages of gasoline and jet fuel. Consequently, Russia is forced to buy back its own refined oil from India at premium prices. Putin has been "hoist on his own petard," creating a global energy weapon that has ultimately turned against the Russian economy. (9)Michael Bernstam reports that Ukrainian drones recently destroyed major distribution hubs for Wildberries, the Russian equivalent of Amazon, causing $2 billion in damage. These strikes have devastated small businesses and middle-class consumers, fueling internal resentment against the Kremlin. Simultaneously, 18 local Russian officials signed a petition calling for Putin's resignation as economic conditions worsen. The loss of consumer infrastructure and rising fuel costs are creating a constituency for ending the war to prevent a total economic collapse. (10)Bob Zimmerman reports that SpaceX is preparing for its 13th Starship flight, a prototype featuring major upgrades for future orbital missions and in-orbit refueling. In India, the startup Skyroot achieved a landmark success with the Vikram-1 rocket, signaling the rise of a private, capitalist space sector. However, the Indian government has counterproductively restricted ISRO employees from leaving for private firms. These contrasting approaches highlight the tension between state-run agencies and the efficiency of private enterprise in the global space race. (11)Bob Zimmerman surveys new discoveries: astronomers have detected a helium atmosphere on a terrestrial exoplanet located 48 light-years away in its star's habitable zone. Closer to home, archival data from Pluto reveals massive landslides, proving the dwarf planet is geologically active rather than dormant. Meanwhile, new images of Valles Marineris on Mars illustrate the canyon's staggering scale, with depths equivalent to the height of Mount McKinley. These discoveries emphasize that planetary bodies across our solar system are dynamic and evolving. (12)Simon Constable notes European energy prices are skyrocketing, with Brent crude hitting $95 and natural gas up 47% in a single month. In France, a heatwave and suspicious forest fires have added environmental stress to the economic crisis. A political movement in the U.S. is targeting data centers for their high energy consumption, which now exceeds 4% of usage. Surprisingly, the United Kingdom hosts the second-highest number of data centers globally, despite its historical association with "Luddite" skepticism. (13)Simon Constable observes that new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham faces immediate skepticism, with polls indicating nearly half of voters feel his government lacks direction. Burnham's focus on domestic issues like capping bus prices is criticized as a "tax and spend" policy that might alienate the wealthy. While he has emphasized national security, his early days have been defined by local populist initiatives. Critics worry his leadership style mimics a "Lord Mayor" rather than a strategic global prime minister. (14)Brandy Shufutinsky details how Qatar has provided extensive grants for Arabic language and culture programs in U.S.K-12 schools. These programs often utilize textbooks that omit Israel from maps and glorify extremist ideologies. Qatar Foundation International (QFI) even funds teacher salaries and work visas, raising concerns about who these educators truly report to. This funding creates a "pipeline" from elementary school to higher education, potentially instilling foreign-influenced perspectives in future generations of American citizens. (15)Conrad Black argues that Canada's economic growth has stalled due to high corporate taxes and "climate alarmist" policies under the Trudeau government. He suggests that new leadership under Mark Carney could revitalize the nation by making it more tax-competitive with the U.S. Canada's vast resources and skilled workforce provide the potential for a rapid rebound. For Canada to succeed, it must pivot back to pro-capitalist policies and attract foreign investment to drive future growth. (16)Two spelling corrections applied: Peter Earle (5, 6 — transcribed as "Pete Earl"; the AIER economist) and Brandy Shufutinsky (15 — transcribed as "Shubatinsky"). Both added to the log unless you'd prefer otherwise.

David Harsanyi, senior writer at The Washington Examiner and co-host of the You’re Wrong podcast with Mollie Hemingway, on his latest Examiner piece, “America needs a new Red Scare.” Seth and David dive into the growing threat of communism in the United States, discussing how it's being whitewashed in schools and the media, and how this is having a profound impact on the country's youth. The conversation also touches on the dangers of socialism and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) wing of the Democratic Party, and how they're gaining traction. David shares his insights on the topic, pointing out that the DSA's platform is not just about expanding Medicare and creating government-run grocery stores, but also includes more radical ideas like abolishing the police and ending incarceration. They also discusses the importance of educating people about the dangers of communism, citing the lack of awareness about the Victims of Communism Museum and the Holocaust Museum.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 214 The Democratic Party is in trouble. Many of us have known that for a long time, but only a few Democrats have. This is the moment where that needs to change. Through internal declarations of their own, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which is for all intents and purposes a Marxist-Leninist Communist organization, isn't just winning primary elections on the Democratic ticket; they are also intending to take over the Democratic Party (and teachers unions) writ large. This is in every respect an emergency situation for Democrats and for America herself. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads through the entire DSA platform (https://program.dsausa.org/) and its introduction so that people can see it is exactly what so many fear it is: a Communist party with a Marxist-Leninist agenda. Join him for this important episode and share it with Democrats who might be willing to listen.

SCHEDUKE JBS 7-21-26Elizabeth Peek joins John Batchelor to discuss how rising gasoline prices act as a talisman for consumer sentiment and presidential approval. Despite low unemployment and rising real wages, the public remains fixated on energy costs. Peek criticizes Republican messaging and highlights the massive AI-driven investment boom currently occurring. (1)Elizabeth Peek discusses New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's inability to define the "working class." She argues the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) primarily represent white, college-educated liberals rather than manual laborers. They also discuss Kevin Warsh as a potential Fed chairman and the independence of interest rate decisions. (2)Peter Berkowitz examines Vice President JD Vance's views on restoring Christianity in America. Berkowitz highlights the ambiguity in Vance's stance regarding government involvement in religion. They contrast Vance's rhetoric with James Madison's historical opposition to state-funded religion, emphasizing the constitutional separation of church and state. (3)Ahmad Sharawi reports on Syria's interception of sophisticated Iranian weapons—including cruise missile components—destined for Hezbollah. The weapons were concealed in Iraqi oil tankers. This move is seen as Al-Shara's attempt to gain international trust and investment by demonstrating a commitment to containing Hezbollah's rearmament. (4)Mary Kissel discusses the ongoing conflict with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. She argues there is no diplomatic overlap because Iran views nuclear weapons as essential for survival. Kissel notes the lack of a broad international coalition and warns that regional allies might seek accommodation with Tehran. (5)Mary Kissel turns to NATO's lack of unity regarding the Ukraine war. Kissel argues that while Eastern Europeannations feel the threat, Western Europe focuses on domestic politics. She highlights the emergence of a "new alliance" of Russia, Iran, and China, which poses a significant hybrid threat. (6)Joseph Sternberg analyzes China's struggling economy, noting that official growth targets are likely overstated. Facing a real estate crater and demographic decline, China is reverting to an export-heavy model. Unlike Japan's past recovery, China's adversarial stance makes trading partners less willing to absorb its gluts. (7)Joseph Sternberg discusses the transition to Prime Minister Andy Burnham in the UK. Burnham, who took office without an election mandate, faces a heavily taxed economy and bond market skepticism. Sternberg critiques Burnham's big-government agenda and resistance to market reforms, suggesting it may drive away wealth. (8)Gregory Copley evaluates Prime Minister Andy Burnham's new cabinet, specifically John Healey as Chancellor and Wes Streeting as Defense Secretary. While the government aims to boost defense spending and support Ukraine, Copley questions its legitimacy without a fresh mandate and notes a lack of long-term global strategic planning. (9)Gregory Copley covers the alienation of Canada under the Trump administration. Copley explains how Canada is diversifying its defense procurement—buying Swedish aircraft and Australian radar—rather than relying on the US. This shift threatens the NORAD partnership and results in billions of dollars lost for US aerospace industries. (10)Gregory Copley explores the "balance of ignorance," where declining literacy and social media lead to a loss of national identity. He argues that governments make poor strategic decisions because they no longer understand their own history or adversaries, citing the current US conflict with Iran as a primary example. (11)Gregory Copley explains King Charles III's role in forming Andy Burnham's government. The King's "blessing" provides constitutional legitimacy to the transition. Copley notes Burnham is the first practicing Roman Catholic Prime Minister and highlights the King's departure to Glasgow to open the Commonwealth Games. (12)Former Congressman Thaddeus McCotter discusses how rising gas prices and inflation hurt Republicans in swing states. They also examine the Trump administration's use of the Smoot-Hawley Act to threaten tariffs on Canada. McCotter views these as punitive measures that weaken the broader argument for necessary trade protections. (13)Thaddeus McCotter comments on a recent presidential address regarding the 2020 election. He argues that claiming the system is "rigged" is counterproductive for Republican turnout. McCotter suggests that voters care far more about the "price of gas" and groceries than relitigating past elections that the party lost. (14)John Batchelor and Peter Huessy review classic nuclear war films like Godzilla, On the Beach, and Dr. Strangelove. Huessy argues that while these films highlight the horrors of nuclear use, real-world focus has evolved toward deterrence and sophisticated safety systems designed to prevent accidental or unauthorized missile launches. (15)Peter Huessy continues the discussion of nuclear films like Fail Safe and The Day After. Huessy disputes claims that The Day After motivated Ronald Reagan's arms control efforts, noting Reagan was a committed advocate for nuclear reductions long before the movie's massive 1983 television broadcast. (16)Corrections applied silently: Ahmad Sharawi (4) and Thaddeus McCotter (13, 14) per the log.
Democratic socialism is gaining influence across America, but how did it move from the political fringe into the mainstream? Professor Jeffrey Lax joins The P.A.S.

As the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) expand their influence and New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani reshapes the political conversation, many Americans are asking how these ideas gained so much traction. CUNY Professor Jeffrey Lax joins Professor Nick Giordano for an in-depth discussion on the transformation of higher education, immigration, assimilation, constitutional government, and why many political leaders continue to underestimate this growing movement.

The DSA's Growing Influence: Why the Democratic Socialists of America continue expanding their footprint in major American cities.

In a state once known for its balance and moderation, Colorado is now experiencing a significant shift to the left. This episode of the podcast explores the implications of this trend and what it means for the future of the state. Joining the conversation is Eric Sondermann, a columnist for Colorado Politics and The Gazette, who shares his insights on the rise of democratic socialism and its impact on the state's politics. Eric Sondermann discusses the parallels between the current shift in the Democratic Party and the Tea Party's rise during the Obama presidency. He notes that both movements were reactions to feelings of powerlessness and frustration, but with the Democratic Party, this has led to a more extreme ideology. Sondermann also touches on the differences between the Tea Party and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), highlighting the DSA's more radical platform and its potential consequences. The conversation also delves into the upcoming elections in Colorado, including the US Senate primary and the attorney general's race. Sondermann shares his thoughts on the prospects of a moderate Democrat winning the Senate seat and the challenges facing Michael Allen, the Republican candidate for attorney general. He also discusses the importance of the caucus system and its impact on the state's politics.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Senator Lindsey Graham, a loyal friend and loyal ally to democratic and peace-loving countries around the world, has passed away. He was a friend to Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and others. He was a counterbalance to naive Woke Reich isolationists who talk about American sovereignty but don't realize you have to fight for it. Graham had a lot in common in national security matters with Ronald Reagan. Not even a nation as powerful as the United States can go it alone, and Graham understood we have alliances for a reason. The left and Woke Reich isolationists wasted no time attacking him, but he was popular in South Carolina and all over the world. He and his sound advice will be truly missed. Then, the infiltration of America by Islamists and jihadis is really in full force, and no one seems to be doing anything about it. Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's father-in-law, Jukaku Tayeb, is a top donor to his super PAC and a longtime leader on ISNA's founding committee and CAIR Michigan president—both groups are co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation terror-financing trial that funneled millions to Hamas, tied to the Muslim Brotherhood mothership responsible for groups like Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Hamas, and funded by Qatar and Turkey. Why do Democrats tolerate these ties? Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) seeks to eliminate the U.S. Senate and Electoral College to advance their agenda, though both require constitutional amendments. These institutions exist to protect smaller, less-populated states, ensuring they have a meaningful say in government so they would join the Union during independence. Similarly, the Electoral College ensures smaller states influence presidential elections, countering domination by a handful of large, populous Democrat metropolitan states and cities. Removing these safeguards would enable mob rule, open borders, non-citizen influence, and a centralized Marxist government. Later, the 2028 Republican presidential primary must be competitive and vibrant, with no coronations. The Republican Party needs to be rooted in the principles of Jefferson, Washington, Madison, Reagan, Buckley, Goldwater, and Milton Friedman's free markets—not Democrat-lite nationalism or populism that dismisses history—and we should demand articulate candidates who boldly contrast conservative beliefs with the left. No, we don't want a bold government, which is what the socialists and Marxists desire. We want an effective limited government confined to its constitutional powers, a bold private sector, and individual sovereignty. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
INSIDE THIS EPISODE: Democrats' Dangerous Voter ID Gaslight & The Save Act's Last Stand: Why is the political establishment throwing a tantrum and calling common-sense voter identification "Jim Crow 2.0"? We break down how the federal Save Act was sabotaged in the Senate, the jaw-dropping polling data showing that everyday minority voters overwhelmingly support ID laws, and how local states are quietly starting a voter integrity revolution anyway Trump's Election Fraud Bombshell?? & The Prime-Time Blackout: What really happened during Donald Trump's highly anticipated, declassified address to the nation? While Trump pointed to newly declassified files alleging massive foreign meddling, the mainstream media and prominent Democrats went into absolute panic mode, calling for a total broadcast blackout. We break down the declassified claims vs. the political theater, and ask: is this a genuine election security nightmare, or a high-stakes leverage play to force the Save Act onto the American people? Gavin Newsom's Dangerous Gamble With the DSA: Is California's governor blind, or is he just desperate for power? Newsom openly declared he would proudly campaign alongside self-proclaimed socialists. We pull back the curtain on the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) platform they don't want you to read—including active plans to completely abolish the US Senate, dissolve the Supreme Court, and strip citizens of private property rights. Mamdani's Sick Crime Cover-Up & The UK's Grooming Gang Warning: When extreme policies unleash chaos on the streets of New York City, far-left politicians have a new strategy: redefine the dictionary. We call out local leader Zohran Mamdani's sickening attempt to dismiss a rise in sexual assault numbers as a mere "definition problem" while everyday New Yorkers face a living hell on the subways. But it gets worse. We connect this directly to the terrifying reality of Rupert Lowe's Grooming Gangs Inquiry in the UK, where authorities sat on their hands for years, allowing the systemic abuse of 250,000 young girls to avoid being labeled "Islamophobic." Is the same ideological cover-up that ravaged Britain now being waved through America's front door? The Todd Blanche Confirmation Hearing Circus: Grab your popcorn for the theatrical Senate Judiciary Committee hearings. Can the President's former personal criminal defense attorney credibly run an independent Department of Justice? We break down the viral, obnoxious political theater, the intense grilling by senators on both sides, and the critical issues—like the Jeffrey Epstein files and vacant prosecutor positions—that the media completely ignored Enjoyed the episode?

1. Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and its policy platform: Socialist, communist, and Marxist in nature. A proposal to replace elements of the existing American constitutional system.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the Woke Reich and certain influencers claim that Israel can't stop going to war but it's the U.S. who has been bombing Iran since the ceasefire, sidelining Israel. These Influencers are being paid to undermine President Trump and blame Israel for conflict with Iran. These influencers push the narrative that if only Israel made peace with the Palestinians, then there would be no more conflict. Who do these influencers think support terrorism? Why don't they criticize Qatar, who spend millions buying influence in America? Also, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) seeks to eliminate the U.S. Senate and Electoral College to advance their agenda, though both require constitutional amendments. These institutions exist to protect smaller, less-populated states, ensuring they have a meaningful say in government so they would join the Union during independence. Similarly, the Electoral College ensures smaller states influence presidential elections, countering domination by a handful of large, populous Democrat metropolitan states and cities. Removing these safeguards would enable mob rule, open borders, non-citizen influence, and a centralized Marxist government. Later, Bruce Blakeman calls in to discuss his run for New York Governor. Under Gov Kathy Hochul New York ranks dead last in economic outlook, driving out high-net-worth individuals and businesses through anti-business policies, high taxes, and overregulation. Blakeman pledges to cut taxes and electric rates, welcome businesses, ensure safer neighborhoods, and build a vibrant economy. Afterward, Todd Blanche is a proven leader who effectively represented Donald Trump in the private sector and who is serving as acting attorney general at the Department of Justice. Democrats oppose his nomination because they preferred Merrick Garland who protected Joe Biden by invoking privileges to block the release of his testimony audio or video, hired rogue prosecutor Jack Smith, and approved the Mar-A-Lago SWAT raid and other attacks on Trump's liberty and due process. Democrats would never accept any nominee chosen by Trump. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
In a shocking exposé, this episode delves into the inner workings of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and their plans to control the country. The speaker reveals the faces behind the movement, including trust fund babies who have never had to work for their wealth, and exposes their disturbing pasts. From the vetting process of Grand Platner, a candidate with a history of domestic violence and a Nazi tattoo, to the DSA's platform, which includes eliminating the US Senate and state-wide elections, this episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the future of America. The DSA's plans are nothing short of revolutionary, aiming to replace the president and the Supreme Court with an executive branch and judiciary chosen by Congress. They also want to extend full voting rights to criminal convicts and illegals, and implement universal rent control, which has already led to a housing shortage in New York City. The speaker highlights the hypocrisy of these individuals, who claim to care about the working class but are actually pushing policies that will benefit themselves and their wealthy donors. The episode also explores the backgrounds of key figures in the DSA, including Morris Katz, a 27-year-old trust fund baby who helped recruit Grand Platner and has a history of questionable behavior. Daniel Morath, another key figure, has been accused of sexual misconduct and has a reputation for being the "most hated staffer" in the region. These individuals are using their wealth and influence to push a radical agenda that will control the lives of ordinary Americans. If you're concerned about the future of America and the direction of the Democratic Party, this episode is a must-listen.

Canary Mission's explosive new documentary blows the lid off a stealth takeover!
Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the rise of democratic socialism and the importance of defending America's values. Returning to the air after time away, Brett thanks his fill-in hosts and listeners before sharing his concerns about the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). He argues that while socialist ideas have gained attention, he believes they will ultimately fail because Americans recognize what he sees as extreme political movements. Brett encourages listeners to stand up for the principles they believe make the United States exceptional, emphasizing the need to defend the country through civic engagement and public discourse rather than aggression. Drawing comparisons to past conservative voices, he contends that common sense will prevail over political extremism. Throughout the opening segment, Brett urges his audience to remain vocal, engaged, and optimistic about the nation's future, insisting that supporters of his viewpoint should continue making the case for their beliefs and not remain silent.

David shares his insights on the DSA's ideology and its connection to Communism and Marxism, highlighting the dangers of their influence on American politics. He also discusses the media's role in downplaying the threat, citing a recent New York Times article that failed to accurately portray the DSA's true intentions.

This week, the US Senate lost a crucial vote it could not spare, and the country's politics just got a whole lot more interesting. The speaker reflects on the passing of Lindsey Graham, a senator who was known for his ability to navigate the complexities of Washington and his unwavering commitment to his principles. But it's not just about the man himself – it's about the power vacuum he leaves behind and the implications for the country's future.The speaker shares a personal anecdote about working with Lindsey Graham on a project that involved a contentious development in his home state of South Carolina. They discuss how Graham's unique ability to influence Trump from within the Republican party, rather than trying to defeat him from the outside, was a crucial factor in shaping the country's politics. The speaker also touches on the significance of Graham's passing, highlighting the fact that he was the only person who could reliably tell Trump the truth and survive it.The conversation takes a darker turn as the speaker delves into the world of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), a movement that's gaining momentum in the US. They discuss the DSA's platform, which calls for the abolition of the Senate, the presidency, and the independent judiciary, as well as the elimination of the US Senate and the replacement of the president with a chief executive officer chosen by the House of Representatives. The speaker also shares a disturbing example of how the DSA's ideology is being put into practice in Denver, Colorado, where a socialist candidate won a congressional seat.If you want to understand the implications of these developments and how they'll shape the country's future, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's insightful analysis and commentary.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the Democrat Party has developed a significant Israel and Jewish problem in roughly three years. It has rebranded itself as the champion of civil rights and liberties, though it actually promotes Marxist and socialist economic agendas—such as healthcare, schooling, and housing for all—framed as civil rights. Democrats now frequently run on anti-AIPAC, anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, and anti-Semitic platforms, with many being Islamists or Marxists, and little pushback from party leadership. Rahm Emanuel, a failed Chicago mayor who wants to run for President, subtly condemns Israel to court the radicals while claiming broader American support. But it's unlikely his Presidential aspirations will succeed because he's Jewish in a party with a Jewish problem. Also, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) must be closely watched. DSA leaders openly discuss using Democratic ballot lines while pushing socialism, holding elected officials accountable by making and potentially breaking them, and rejecting moderate improvements in favor of working-class power and anti-imperialism. America has the best capitalist system, principles, and freedoms for delivering more prosperity than kings and queens had decades ago. Marxism, Islamism, and socialism produce poverty, violence, and oppression elsewhere. Later, Democrats seek to dismantle voting protections to enable and legalize fraud through measures like same-day registration, no voter ID, expanded voter harvesting, early voting weeks in advance, and allowing votes in any precinct. These changes make it impossible to properly vet voters while Democrats hypocritically require ID in their own facilities and create bureaucratic obstacles elsewhere in life. Afterward, no, Mark did not and has not turned on President Trump, despite what the fake news says. He remains a strong supporter and that will not change. The media narrative is utterly false. But they love to stir the pot and create controversy. There is no controversy. Finally, Will Chamberlain calls in and argues for Alexander Hamilton and sides firmly with him over Thomas Jefferson in their constitutional debate. He believes Hamilton held the right views on the Constitution, the necessary and proper clause, and the appropriate capabilities of government, including the need for tariffs to support manufacturing in the late 1790s and early 1800s.

SCHEDULE JBS, 7-7-20261862 NYC Liz Peek. Revamping Federal Reserve Communications: No More Dot Plots? Liz Peek discusses new FedChair Kevin Warsh's shift away from "forward guidance" and "dot plots". She argues this pragmatic approach requires investors to analyze raw economic data rather than Fed algorithms. Despite past recession fears, the economy remains stable with low unemployment at 4.2%. (1) Liz Peek. The Democratic Party's 2028 Internal Conflict: Socialists vs. Establishment. Peek analyzes the rising tension between the Democratic establishment and radical socialists like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. She suggests Governor Newsom faces credibility issues due to "flip-flops," while younger socialist candidates threaten to alienate traditional Jewish and Black voters, potentially wrecking the party's 2028 prospects. (2) Captain James Fanell. China's Nuclear Triad Expansion: Submerged Ballistic Missile Test. Captain Fanellexplains the significance of China's recent submerged ballistic missile launch from a Jin-class submarine. Reaching over 10,000 kilometers, this JL-3 missile flew over U.S. territories like Guam. This rare test signals China's rapid development of a nuclear triad intended to achieve strategic deterrence against the U.S. (3) Captain James Fanell. Countering China's First Strike Strategy in the Pacific. Fanell argues China's SLBM test challenges their "no first use" policy, effectively demonstrating a first-strike capability. He recommends the U.S. bolster its naval force structure in the Western Pacific and utilize B-2 bomber flights to signal resolve against Chinese efforts to drive America out of the region. (4) Mary Kissel. NATO's New Vigor and the European Defense Dilemma. Mary Kissel discusses NATO'srenewed urgency following Russian aggression in Ukraine. While front-line nations like Poland exceed spending targets, many Europeans have historically relied on the U.S. defense umbrella to fund social welfare states. She warns that Putin continues to test NATO's unity at the margins. (5) Mary Kissel. Confronting Beijing's Provocations and the Cost of Appeasement. Kissel critiques the U.S.government for pursuing trade deals while China conducts intimidating missile tests in the Pacific. She urges the administration to recognize the severity of the threat, strengthen regional alliances, and impose actual consequences for Beijing's increasingly hostile behavior to avoid a greater future threat. (6) Joseph Sternberg. Federal Reserve Introspection and Britain's Political Turmoil. Sternberg examines Governor Waller's speech regarding how "forward guidance" may have blinded the Fed to 2021 inflation. Turning to the UK, he notes Prime Minister Keir Starmer's plummeting popularity and argues that British politics is trapped in personality-driven cycles without addressing fundamental policy or welfare state problems. (7) Joseph Sternberg. Cultural Divides: American Earnestness vs. European Cynicism. During the World Cup, Sternberg observes that European visitors are struck by American earnestness regarding God, patriotism, and politics. He notes that while shared history exists, deep cultural divisions persist; Europeans often view patriotism as destructive, whereas Americans continue to view it as a healthy instinct. (8) Gregory Copley. Xi Jinping's Internal Struggles and the Vulnerable 'Boomer' Fleet. Copley views China'smissile test as a move by Xi Jinping to look credible amidst domestic instability and loss of control over the PLA. He notes that while the Jin-class submarines are "noisy" and vulnerable, the test sends a pointed message to the West and Pacific nations. (9) Gregory Copley. Russian Bluster and NATO's Disorganized Response. Copley dismisses Russian threats against Poland and Finland as "agit prop" designed to save face during the NATO summit. He argues Russia is incapable of a major war with NATO and that Putin remains secure despite domestic pressures, petrol rationing, and the West's disorganized attempts to unify. (10) Gregory Copley. Iran's Leadership Vacuum and the Illusion of Nuclear Success. Copley reports a lack of cohesive leadership in Iran, with Ayatollah Khamenei potentially incapacitated. He asserts the West has failed on all metrics, including regime change and securing the Strait of Hormuz. Iran views its nuclear program primarily as a bargaining chip for sovereignty rather than victory. (11) Gregory Copley. The Prodigal Son: Prince Harry's Mounting Legal and Financial Woes. Copley discusses Prince Harry's precarious position after losing a major lawsuit, leaving him with a 50 million pound debt. King Charles III prioritizes his duty to the monarchy over family ties as concerns grow regarding Harry's management of the Invictus Games and his wife's public criticisms of the family. (12) Thaddeus McCotter. Democratic Party Discipline: Managing Candidate Crises and Ideological Rifts.McCotter explores how the Democratic establishment "blew up" problematic candidates like Eric Swalwell to install figures like Xavier Becerra.

(13) Thaddeus McCotter. The Republican Civil War: MAGA Populism vs. the Establishment. McCotter analyzes the Republican Party's struggle with the MAGA movement, which he defines as populist rather than traditionally Republican. He warns that without a clear programmatic platform beyond Donald Trump, the movement may not survive his leadership, potentially leading to conflict with the revanchist Republican establishment. (14) Grant Newsham. The Shadow of Appeasement: Europe's Unwillingness to Defend Itself. Newsham compares current European hesitation to confront Russia with 1930s appeasement. He argues that many European nations have developed a "pathologic dependence" on the U.S. to fund their social welfare states. He warns that without U.S. backing, Europe lacks the unity to stop Russian aggression. (15) Henry Sokolski. Iran's Nuclear Defiance and the Futility of Unsupervised Deals. Sokolski highlights the disconnect between U.S. and Iranian positions following a recent memorandum of understanding. Iran refuses inspections of bombed enrichment sites, while the U.S. insists on them. He warns that preventing Iran from building a bomb remains an uphill battle without clearer public goals.

They aren't a political party. They're a parasite inside the Democratic Party — and they've already hijacked the highest levels of American power. In this episode, Jillian rips the mask off the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — the radical left's most powerful political machine hiding behind a “grassroots” brand. The local‑activist aesthetic is an illusion. This is a coordinated, high‑stakes operation with deep pockets, global backers, and a clear plan to remake American cities and Western civilization from the inside out. You'll get an unfiltered, receipts‑driven breakdown of the history, ideology, money, strategy, and key players behind the fastest‑growing socialist movement in modern U.S. politics — and how it quietly embedded itself inside the Democratic Party. INSIDE THIS EPISODE: The Puppet Masters Who is really funding the DSA? We follow the money trail through globalist structures, foreign‑linked networks, Islamist‑aligned PACs, and Marxist billionaires — and map how that cash turns into raw power. The Target List How did figures like New York–based power player Zohran Mamdani and Los Angeles Councilmember Nithya Raman rise so fast? We trace who backed them, who protected them, and how they became point‑of‑the‑spear operators for the much larger project of a “civilizational Jihad”. Your City on DSA Policy Case studies how socialist policies changed crime rates, homelessness, rents, policing, and social services around the world— and what that would look like where you live. Behind Closed Doors Internal strategy docs, resolutions, and statements you're not supposed to see — and what they reveal about the long-term project for America and the West.

The Politics of Envy is reshaping American politics, yet many Republicans and ordinary Americans still underestimate the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano tears off the mask of "compassion" to expose how radical left-wing ideologues are executing a long-term cultural revolution inside the United States. Following a viral post confronting New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's July 4th address, Professor Giordano breaks down how the Democratic Socialists of America built a disciplined political machine backed by powerful funding networks. This episode examines the psychological shift from traditional American aspiration to weaponized resentment, the demographic reality of the DSA, the institutional capture of education and government, and why a socialist and communist message that struggled for generations is gaining traction today through civic ignorance and cultural change. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Machine vs. the Myth: Why the Democratic Socialists of America has become far more organized, disciplined, and strategically effective than most Republicans realize. Envy Disguised as Compassion: How progressive messaging replaces aspiration and personal responsibility with resentment and dependency. The DSA Demographic Reality: What the organization's own internal survey reveals about who actually drives the movement and why it challenges the image of a working-class revolution. The Institutional Shift: How decades of influence in education, government, and culture created conditions that allowed socialist ideas to gain traction.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Buck Sexton focuses heavily on Supreme Court decisions, especially a key case involving immigration and executive authority. Buck highlights a 6–3 ruling in Mullen v. Doe, emphasizing that the Court sided with the executive branch and reinforced presidential authority over immigration programs such as Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The discussion frames TPS as a humanitarian policy originally intended for individuals fleeing war or natural disasters, but now often extended far beyond its “temporary” purpose, sometimes lasting decades. Buck examines the aftermath of the New York City primary, questioning whether the relatively small turnout contests still signal a growing trend of far-left political momentum in urban Democratic districts. He frames the election results as part of a larger ideological shift within the Democratic Party, suggesting that even smaller races may offer insight into future national elections and Republican strategy heading into the midterms. A central theme throughout the hour is Buck’s contrast between conservative political philosophy—rooted in constitutionalism, optimism, and Trump-era governance—and progressive ideology, which he characterizes as driven by resentment, grievance, and opposition to success. He argues that conservative politics aim to improve America through stability, growth, and public safety, while criticizing progressive policies as being more focused on punishing perceived inequality than delivering effective outcomes. guest Ryan Girdusky, focusing on the rise of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), New York City politics, voter turnout trends, and the broader ideological direction of the Democratic Party under President Donald Trump’s current administration. The hour centers on the aftermath of recent New York primary elections, spotlighting controversial progressive candidates such as Zohran Mamdani and Darializa Chevalier, while examining how socialist-aligned movements are reshaping Democratic coalitions at the local and national levels. A major theme of Hour 3 is the growing influence of the DSA in New York City politics, described as the “crown jewel” of the organization’s national network. Buck and Girdusky analyze how DSA candidates and aligned figures are leveraging the Democratic Party as a “ballot access vehicle,” pushing a more openly socialist agenda from within while viewing the traditional Democratic establishment as an obstacle. This strategy is portrayed as increasingly effective, particularly in affluent, college-educated, and heavily progressive neighborhoods referred to as the “comedy corridor”—a stretch of waterfront districts from Astoria in Queens down through Brooklyn, which has become a hub of far-left political activism and extremely high voter turnout. Buck speaks with guest Dan Mason, former CBS Radio CEO, who reflects on the evolution of radio, the enduring power of one-to-one audience connection, and the changing media landscape in the digital age. Mason emphasizes radio’s unique ability to build personal relationships with listeners, contrasting it with less intimate platforms like television, and highlights ongoing debates over public broadcasting, including NPR funding and perceived political bias. The hour concludes with a broader optimistic outlook on America under President Donald Trump, with Buck pushing back against pessimism from a caller and encouraging listeners to embrace patriotism, stability, and historical perspective heading into major national celebrations like Independence Day. He underscores that, despite political tensions and global concerns, the United States is not facing crises on the scale of war, economic collapse, or pandemic lockdowns, and remains in a strong position.
