Send us a textToday's guest is the executive director of Project Alaska, Tetyana Robbins. Project Alaska is an organization that helps Ukrainian refugees find meaningful employment in Alaska. From helping improve their English language skills, to navigating the American immigration system, to helping with certifications and even transportation, Project Alaska does everything it can to make sure Ukrainians fleeing their war-torn country can quickly achieve self-sufficiency here in Alaska. Tetyana immigrated to Anchorage herself from Kharkiv, Ukraine, over 20 years ago when she married her husband Mike Robbins. With her Masters degree in accounting and auditing, she was a natural fit for her husband's business ventures where she tracked the finances and kept the books. When war broke out in her home country in 2022, she and her husband founded the Ukraine Relief Program which helped Ukrainians escape to Alaska, contributing to one of the biggest waves of foreign resettlement our state has ever seen. Now, as the legal status of those recent refugees is called into question, she is advocating the federal government to find a path to citizenship for the over 2,000 Ukrainians who are vital to our state's workforce.

On November 12th, 2015, Peter, the Island Air, mail-plane pilot, landed at Port William Wilderness Lodge on Shuyak Island. The lodge occupies an old cannery, and Peter found this stop memorable because instead of both of the lodge's caretakers greeting him, as usual, only one caretaker, 44-year-old Steven Ridenour, met the plane. Peter wondered why the other caretaker, Steven McCaulley, 56, also did not arrive to help unload the freight. Since the tide was high, the plane could not pull up to the beach, and Ridenour had to ferry the mail to shore by boat. Without McCaulley there to assist, the job proved difficult and time-consuming. Peter also found it curious that Ridenour simply stacked the freight above the high-tide mark, grabbed his gear, and jumped on the plane for a ride back to Kodiak. Ridenour then flew to Anchorage where he lived. On November 15th, Steven Ridenour called the manager of Port William Wilderness Lodge, told him he'd quit his job, and asked for his past four paychecks. On November 17th, Steven Ridenour's brother, Don, called the lodge manager and said his brother sent him and other family members Facebook messages stating he killed his fellow caretaker, Steven McCaulley, in self-defense, and he needed money to leave the state. The manager contacted the Alaska State Troopers and requested a welfare check on McCaulley at the lodge. SOURCES: Christiansen, Scott. 3-17-2017.

Jeff was joined by Lieutenant Governor Nancy Dahlstrom (R - Alaska), who is also one of several Republican candidates for governor. They discuss the large field of Republicans in the governor's race, the recent typhoon that devastated Western Alaska, the housing problems facing Anchorage, her thoughts on the Permanent Fund Dividend issue that has plagued Alaska politics for the last decade, the dynamics of the open primary, and the complexities in Juneau next session in an election year. 

Typhoon Halong devastated Kipnuk, wiping out the majority of the community. Kwigillingok was hit very hard and numerous other communities in the Kuskokwim Delta region also suffered damage. Hundreds of people were evacuated from the hardest-hit areas, and many are now in temporary shelters in Anchorage. As repair and recovery work ramp up, how much can be restored before winter and what is needed right now to help get the work done? Helping our neighbors after a huge disaster is our on this Talk of Alaska.

Venerdì scorso l'incontro fra il presidente americano Donald Trump e quello ucraino Volodymir Zelensky non ha portato praticamente a nulla. Zelensky sperava in un appoggio militare americano – leggasi la consegna di missili a lunga gittata Tomahawk – che non è arrivato. Donald Trump guarda già al possibile incontro con Vladimir Putin a Budapest: un incontro che potrebbe tenersi nelle prossime settimane e che però potrebbe rivelarsi – nuovamente, come accaduto ad Anchorage, in Alaska del 15 agosto scorso -  un semplice atto simbolico. Nel frattempo, l'Europa osserva con preoccupazione, temendo di essere marginalizzata in un gioco diplomatico dominato da Washington e Mosca. A Modem facciamo il punto della situazione sui due paesi tutt'ora in conflitto con Bettina Müller, responsabile attualità estera Radio - RSI, appena rientrata dall'UcrainaDavide Maria De Luca, collaboratore RSI da KievAlberto Zanconato, collaboratore RSI da Mosca

When the market gets wobbly, some run scared — others lean in. For #NoVacancyNews, I spoke with Doug Rigoni of West Coast Hospitality and Mark Hope of Coast Hotels at The Lodging Conference to explore how uncertainty is creating real opportunity across the West Coast and Canada. We talk about RevPAR trends, risk-taking mindsets, and why tertiary markets are struggling while primary cities still show promise. From Hawaii to Whitehorse, these operators are thinking differently — and that's where the growth is. #hospitalitystrategy #hoteldevelopment

We discuss Lisa's childhood in Anchorage, the value sports have played in her life, her battle with breast cancer, and her time as host of the Alaska Public Media Radio Show Outdoor Explorer.

Send us a textOn October 11th and 12th, 2025, coastal villages of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta were hit by Typhoon Halong that devastated entire communities.  Weather forecasters saw the track of Typhoon Halong coming and yet most of those communities are located on low lying lands without roads to higher grounds.The aftermath of Typhoon Halong just prior to winter has required the evacuation of entire communities to Anchorage, Alaska with military planes, as the entire infrastructure and access to clean water were destroyed by this historic weather event. Climatologist, Rick Thoman, discusses the weather pattern that led up to Typhoon Halong, as well as how to help displaced families and pets. Resources to Help:Alaska Community Foundationhttps://alaskacf.org/World Central Kitchenhttps://wck.org/YK Delta Dog Rescuehttps://www.bethelfriendsofcanines.com/Thank you for listening to the Alaska Climate and Aviation Podcast.Katie Writerktphotowork@gmail.com907/863-7669Support the showYou can visit my website for links to other episodes and see aerial photography of South Central Alaska at:https://www.katiewritergallery.com

Send us a textThe Chief of the Anchorage Police Department is Sean Case. As a 7th grader at Hanshew Middle School in Anchorage, he decided he wanted to be a police officer. He got his bachelor's degree in Justice at UAA. At age 20, Alaska wouldn't hire him because he was too young, so he got his first job in law enforcement with the Los Angeles Police Department. After just a couple years there, he came back to Anchorage and has been with APD ever since. Sean Case was appointed Chief of Police in 2024 by Anchorage Mayor Suzanne LaFrance.

Shooters will recognize it, as it is frequently allied with lead to make a harder, more durable alloy for cast bullets. We should note that lead-antimony alloys have many other uses, from lead-acid batteries to sailboat keels. Antimony is used in other alloys as well, such as antifriction alloys, electric cable sheathing, and type metals for printing presses, which apparently are not completely extinct yet. It's also used in flame retardants, and - this is key - in semiconductors. It's also has applications in pharmaceuticals.  a key strategic mineral. Alaska has antimony. Now, in Alaska, a company called Nova Minerals, with a grant from the War Department, has a contract to build an antimony refinery at Port MacKenzie, west of Anchorage, to process ore from the Estelle gold mine in the West Susitna Mineral District. With Pentagon backing and a goal to begin delivering Alaska-sourced antimony into U.S. supply chains by 2027, Nova Minerals Ltd. has secured a 42.8-acre site at Port MacKenzie west of Anchorage for a refinery that would process antimony concentrates from its Estelle project and other sources."This is a defining moment for Nova Minerals and for U.S. critical mineral independence," Nova Minerals CEO Christopher Gerteisen said upon securing land use permits for the industrial site about four miles from a deepwater port in Southcentral Alaska.The refinery, to be developed by Nova subsidiary Alaska Range Resources (ARR), is part of a strategy to leverage the very high-grade antimony mineralization found on the company's Estelle project about 100 miles west of Port MacKenzie to establish a domestic supply of this metalloid critical to a wide range of military and commercial applications. Antimony is also found in Idaho and Montana. But a majority of antimony production comes from countries that are not particularly friendly to the United States: China, Russia, and Tajikistan, which, between them, account for almost 80 percent of global supply.

Keith Weinhold is based in Anchorage Alaska. I had the pleasure of visiting with Keith on his home turf a few weeks ago where he gave my wife and I a tour of the city. On today's show we are talking about divesting fully from Anchorage and redeploying capital into the Tampa Bay area. Tampa and Anchorage are almost extreme opposite ends of the country. A unique element of Keith's strategy has been to invest in new construction properties. The benefits include lower maintenance and higher tenant retention.

The Royal Albert Hall was the unlikely venue for the biggest Sumo wrestling tournament ever staged outside of Japan on 9th October, 1991. Around forty wrestlers, described in the press as “bouncing like fat Buddhas,” thundered across a ring on clay sourced from a field near Heathrow.  Part of the grand Japan Festival - a four-month cultural takeover marking 100 years of the Japan Society, including kabuki at the National Theatre and Buddhist sculptures at the British Museum - demand for tickets was sky-high, thanks to Channel 4's cult Friday night sumo broadcasts. A Shinto-style canopy was shipped over, and reinforced hotels were arranged for the athletes, complete with detachable showers, reinforced beds, and double-sized meals to help them hit their 7,000-calorie daily target. The lineup featured stars with nicknames like “The Killer Whale,” “The Plum,” and the 37-stone “Dump Truck,” Konishiki Yasokichi. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider the impact the festival had on introducing Londoners to Japanese culture; reveal why the wrestlers had a pit-stop in Anchorage on their way to England; and explain why some fans didn't tell their colleagues they were attending… Further Reading: • ‘Albert Hall hosts first sumo tournament held outside Japan' (The Guardian, 1991): https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2013/oct/10/sumo-wrestling-royal-albert-hall • ‘Sumo Wrestling's Solid Foundation in the UK and Europe' (SportsLook, 2023): https://featured.japan-forward.com/sportslook/sumo-wrestlings-solid-foundation-in-the-uk-and-europe/ • ‘Sumo: Terao v Kotogaume 1991 (London)': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa0TrLXi-uk #Japan #Sport #London #90s Love the show?

In this chilling episode of Hollyweird Paranormal, we head into the San Bernardino Mountains to investigate one of Big Bear's most infamous landmarks, The Captain's Anchorage. Since opening its doors in 1947, this rustic lodge-style restaurant has drawn in Hollywood stars, tourists, and locals alike… but its true legacy is haunted. Myself and paranormal investigator and medium, Tawney Lewis, uncover the history of the building, share spine-tingling accounts from staff members Jessica and Lorraine, and reveal the evidence I captured during my own late-night investigation. From whispers in the bar to phantom knocks upstairs and humming in the basement, the Anchorage proves that George, the restaurant's most famous ghost, is still very much present.

In this 50-minute podcast, we talk polar bears, wolves, women, climate activists, and Denali wolf advocacy, through the tales of award-winning nature writer Marybeth Holleman whose new book is the eco-climate fiction novel “Bloom Again” a tale of two women in midlife -- estranged childhood friends -- Astrid a paleo-botanist in Raleigh, North Carolina at UNC and Elyse, a painter in Anchorage, Alaska, who both eventually reunite while experiencing major life changes, in their attempts to mitigate the climate crisis and take some risks in their careers, and through them we realize the road to climate solutions relies on a marriage of art and science. Polar bears play a central role in the plot of Bloom Again (Marybeth and I read some book passages on a polar bear, Binky, in the Anchorage zoo). I really enjoyed reading Bloom Again, as I liked how the narrative pivoted back and forth between Astrid's dramas in NC and India and then Elyse's dramas in Alaska and Siberia, but with some connections between the two women and their friends and the shared environmental crisis we all face. In this show recorded in October 2025, I also talk to Marybeth about an important 2013 nonfiction book of hers called “Among Wolves,” co-authored with the late Denali National Park wolf researcher and staunch wolf advocate Gordon Haber, who tragically died when his small research plane crashed when he was out monitoring the wolves in the park in 2009.  Marybeth co-authored the Among Wolves book with Gordon after his death, using his field notes and telling his passionate story with Alaska's wolves, and their dramas, family joys, as well as their abuse at the hands of some brutal human hunters and trappers. Gordon provides solutions for fairer, smarter, and more humane wolf policies (as individuals not "packs" of interchangeable wolves). Both books, Bloom Again, and Among Wolves, will affect you deeply. They are published by University of Alaska Press, as Marybeth resides in Anchorage, Alaska.

When a homeless woman in Anchorage finds a discarded SD card, she hopes it holds music. Instead, she uncovers something far more disturbing - graphic videos documenting the torture and murder of a woman later identified as 30-year-old Kathleen Henry. The footage is so brutal even seasoned detectives struggle to comprehend it. But it's not just a one-time horror - it's the calling card of a serial predator hiding in plain sight.Get instant access to all episodes, including premium unreleased episodes, commercial-free at swordandscale.com

Send us a textToday is a brief bonus episode explaining Governor Dunleavy's recent veto of Senate Bill 113 which would have required internet companies to pay corporate income taxes based on the location of their sales rather than the location of their offices. This bill would have put Alaska in alignment with 36 other states and would have leveled the playing field our local mom-&-pop businesses which are forced to pay taxes while companies such as Amazon, Hulu, or Netflix are not. Senate Bill 113 would have modernized our corporate tax structure and the additional revenue was to be directed to public education. Alaska State House Representative for downtown Anchorage Representative Zack Fields explains the veto and its implications. Read more here.

Send us a textFormer editor of the Homer News Michael Armstrong moved to Alaska from Florida in 1979. After over a decade in Anchorage working as a freelance reporter at the ADN and as an adjunct English professor at UAA, he and his wife Jenny Stroyek moved to Homer when Jenny became co-owner of the Homer Bookstore. In 1999, Michael  began work at the Homer News, where he remained until 2022 retiring as editor of that paper. Michael has published many short stories in publications like “The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction” as well as numerous anthologies. His novels include After the Zap, Agvik, Bridge over Hell, The Hidden War, and Truck Stop Earth.   Context for today's episode:On September 10, conservative political organizer Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. On September 17, hundreds of mourners gathered on the beach in Homer to remember the slain activist at a memorial service partially organized by Alaska State House Representative Sarah Vance. Homer News journalist Chloe Pleznak attended that outdoor memorial service, live streamed parts of it, and wrote a story about it that appeared in the September 25th edition of the paper. Rep. Vance took offense to the coverage provided by Pleznak. In a September 25th letter to the Executive Vice President of Sound Publishing John Carr and the CEO of Carpenter Media Tim Prince, the corporate owners of Homer News, she expressed her outrage, calling out the use of terms such as "far right" and "Christian nationalist" as prejudicial labels. She went on to highlight what she considers to be the “historic bias” of the Homer News and stated that: “this article represents the peak of a long-standing pattern of left-wing slant.” She concluded by warning that if the paper continues its partisan spin, “the consequence will be financial as well as reputational.”The result was that Carpenter Media removed Pleznak's article from the Homer News website and later replaced it with an edited version that removed Pleznak's byline. The social media commentary in both conservative and progressive circles was fierce, with folks on the right arguing that the Homer News should be ashamed of its biased coverage, and with those on the left arguing that the unauthorized editing of Pleznak's article without input from either her or her editor Erin Thompson was un-American censorship.EXCERPTS FROM REP. VANCE LETTER (read full letter here):'Dear Mr. Carr,'I am writing to express my outrage over the article, "Homer holds vigil for Charlie Kirk," published in the Homer News on Tuesday, September 3, 2025.'The piece is not journalism, but rather it is hate-baiting at its worst . . .'From the opening paragraphs, reporter Chloe Pleznac branded Charlie Kirk with prejudicial labels such as "far-right" and "Christian-Nationalist icon," while smearing his views as "racist," "controversial," and "conspiracy theories." These are not facts; they are editorial judgements and political talking points. . . .'And let me be clear, this is not an isolated lapse. The historic bias of the Homer News is widely recognized in the community, and this article represents the peak of a long-standing pattern of left-wing slant. . . .'If the paper continues to treat community events as opportunities for partisan spin, the consequence will be financial as well as reputational. . . .'I urge you to take immediate corrective action.'

Serial killers use all sorts of techniques to carry out their deranged fantasies. Robert Hansen, who owned a bakeshop in Anchorage, Alaska, was also a methodical hunter of women. He’d kidnap them, fly them in his small plane into the Alaskan wilderness, where he’d release them and then hunt them down.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, the conversation centered on the launch of Thomas More Classical School in Anchorage, set to open in 2026. The guest, Headmaster Sarah Spaulding, explained the school's mission to bring classical education to Alaska and described how the model emphasizes forming both intellect and character. The discussion highlighted what sets classical education apart: its grounding in the seven liberal arts, its reliance on teacher-led classrooms, and its emphasis on virtue, truth, and beauty. Spaulding explained that the school is supported by Hillsdale College's K–12 Education Office, which provides training and curriculum guidance, while the school itself remains locally governed and tuition-funded. Listeners also heard about practical details, including the timeline for opening, the application process starting in October 2025, and the plan to begin with 120 students in kindergarten through sixth grade before expanding into a full K–12 program. Spaulding described how extracurricular activities will grow with enrollment and emphasized the school's commitment to keeping tuition accessible with financial aid options. A portion of the conversation explored the history of Thomas More, the school's namesake, and how his devotion to education, integrity, and faith mirrors the school's mission. The episode closed with encouragement for Anchorage families to learn more, visit the school's website, and consider whether classical education is the right fit for their children.

Earth “falls” into a new season today – astronomically speaking. It’s the September equinox, when the Sun crosses the equator from north to south. It marks the start of autumn in the northern hemisphere, and spring in the southern hemisphere. On the equinoxes, neither the north pole nor the south pole tips toward the Sun, so night and day are roughly the same length in both hemispheres – about 12 hours between sunrise and sunset. We say “roughly” because there are a couple of caveats. One is the way we calculate the times of sunrise and sunset. For the days to be truly equal, we’d have to mark the times when the Sun is bisected by the horizon – half in view, half still hidden. But we don’t. Instead, sunrise is the moment when the Sun first peeks into view, and sunset is the moment when the limb of the Sun drops from view. That adds a couple of minutes to the day. The other correction factor is Earth’s atmosphere. It “bends” the sunlight above the horizon. So when we see the Sun standing just atop the horizon, it’s actually a little below it. That combination adds a few minutes to the equinox “day.” So at the equator, daylight lasts for 12 hours plus six and a half minutes. At 30 degrees north – the latitude of Austin – it’s 12 hours and eight minutes. And at 60 degrees – roughly the latitude of Anchorage – it’s 12 hours and 16 minutes – an extra dose of sunlight as we fall into autumn. Script by Damond Benningfield

In this episode I am joined by one of my best friends on this planet, Artist and Art Therapist Elijah Chong.  Elijah and I have known each other for over a decade and have always been kindred spirits on this journey of cultivating spiritual knowledge and wisdom. In this episode we dive deep into his personal journey and talk extensively about his practice as an art therapist and how that intertwines with his own personal creative practice.  --------------------Born in Anchorage, Alaska, raised in Houston, Texas, Elijah Kane Chong left home to study Architecture at Texas A&M University, which is where he dedicated himself to the arts and specifically to painting. He then moved on to New Orleans to teach art and establish his career in the post-Katrina revival. There, he met up with like-minded friends and helped to establish the Krewe of Motha Roux, an independent collective of far-out creatives and freethinkers. He rededicated himself to art as service, and journeyed to Santa Fe to study Art Therapy and Counseling at Southwestern College. He currently works as a licensed mental health counselor and art therapist in St. Tammany Parish, LA and continues to expand and grow upon his practice and body of work.WebsiteInstagramFollow Martin Benson for more insights:*To stay updated on the podcast and related content, check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠my Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*To support the show and access exclusive content, consider subscribing for $0.99/month on Instagram (link above).Credits: Special thanks to Matthew Blankenship of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Sometimes Island⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for our podcast theme music!Support this podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/martin-l-benson/support⁠⁠⁠⁠

Send us a textLisa Alexia is a psychiatric physician assistant in Anchorage specializing in eating disorders. Today we talk about her entrance to the health care field as a community health aide in Nikolai, Alaska, her decision to go back to school to become a physician assistant, and her work with eating disorders. But the last half of our conversation is the reason why she is on the show. Back in May, she authored an editorial in the ADN calling for an end to daylight saving time in Alaska. PA Alexia has become a subject matter expert on circadian rhythms, time zones, and the health risks of the sleep disruptions associated with time zone displacement, something that happened in 1983 when Alaska consolidated four time zones into one. She will explain today that what would be best for Alaska's health would be for our clocks to fall back and never spring forward again.For questions about eating disorders, visit AKEDA.

LIVE SHOW TIX HERE Imagine taking a wrong turn and winding up in a version of your hometown that doesn't—and maybe never did—exist. That's exactly what happened to Carol Chase McElheney when she stumbled into a bizarre time slip in Riverside, California—a place both familiar and terrifyingly wrong. Was it a glitch in the matrix, a parallel universe, or just an exceptionally creepy case of bad directions? Meanwhile, in Anchorage, Alaska, a completely different kind of magic was at work: Linny Pacillo and the Anchorage Parking Fairies. Armed with wings, tutus, and a sense of rebellion, these whimsical enforcers fought parking meters with glitter and sass. From cosmic slip-ups to tutu-clad protest, this episode of The Box of Oddities Podcast dives into the weird, wonderful, and wildly unexpected. Buckle up—it's a ride through the absurd that only Box of Oddities can deliver. #TimeSlip #UrbanLegends #WeirdHistory #PodcastLife #BoxOfOddities Learn more about your ad choices.

Thought the teachers union was your only option? Think again. In this Must Read Alaska Show, host Ben Carpenter is joined by Kenai teacher Kim Bates, Anchorage teacher Aimee Sims, and Garry Sigle, Central Region Director for the Association of American Educators (AAE), to unpack what AAE is, who it serves, and how it stacks up against NEA-Alaska. If you've never heard of AAE, you're not alone. While NEA-Alaska dues can run over $1,400 a year, AAE membership costs just $19.50 a month—about $234 a year. That's a savings of more than $1,100 annually—money that stays in your pocket while still giving you day-one legal protection and $2 million in professional liability coverage, double what NEA provides. And because AAE is non-union and non-partisan, your dues go entirely to supporting you as a professional—not to political campaigns. You stay covered under your district's negotiated contract, but without paying union prices. You'll also hear how substitutes, paras, bus drivers, and other W-2 school employees can join AAE (with a low-cost option for retirees), and why—after the 2018 Janus v. AFSCME decision—membership is a choice, not a condition of employment. If you want options that align with your values and your wallet, this energetic conversation is your roadmap.

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 Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Trump Says What People Think President Donald Trump's crime reduction initiative in Washington, D.C., which has sparked intense backlash from left-wing commentators accusing him of federal overreach and authoritarianism. Clay and Buck dissect the media's reaction and highlight the irony of critics opposing efforts to make the nation's capital safer. The hosts explore rising urban crime rates, citing firsthand accounts and statistics from cities like St. Louis, Baltimore, Memphis, and Kansas City, and propose deploying National Guard troops as a potential solution. They emphasize the importance of law enforcement, incarceration of repeat offenders, and authentic political leadership in addressing violent crime. TX AG Ken Paxton on Redistricting Battle Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joins the program to provide exclusive updates on the Texas redistricting battle, including legal actions against Democratic lawmakers who fled the state. Paxton outlines efforts to enforce quorum laws and criticizes the hypocrisy of Democrat-led states with heavily gerrymandered districts. Would You Do This on a Date? Clay and Buck share personal dating anecdotes, including a humorous story about a failed e-scooter date and a debate over the social faux pas of using gift certificates on first dates. The segment blends cultural commentary with relatable humor, resonating with both longtime listeners and new audiences. Mamdani is Everyone's Worst Nightmare Top Political Headlines include White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirming a major diplomatic meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. The hosts also dissect the latest economic news, celebrating a 2.7% inflation rate and record highs across the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Dow Jones—crediting Trump’s tariffs and economic policies for the market surge and wage growth. In cultural news, Clay and Buck discuss Disney’s apology and rehiring of Gina Carano after her 2021 dismissal, and the backlash surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s ad, which polls show was largely well-received despite media outrage. The conversation pivots to social media censorship, with praise for Elon Musk’s overhaul of Twitter (now X), which they say has curbed leftist bullying and restored free speech. The hour also dives into New York City politics, spotlighting the rise of mayoral candidate Mamdani, described as a “straight-up communist.” The hosts debate George Will’s assertion that Democrats should face the consequences of their policies, with Buck pushing back, arguing that defeat doesn’t teach lessons—especially to the left.
