This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmAs anticipated in last week's episode, the government did indeed shut down, and as of this recording Congress remains at an impasse. At the same time Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are trying harder than ever to foment street violence in blue cities and maybe even martial law. In this episode, Brian and Matt discuss: * How the GOP's ongoing Epstein coverup is prolonging the shutdown and making it likelier that they “lose.”* The esoteric Beltway metaphysics of who gets blamed for government shutdowns.* Why Democrats are winning the battle of public opinion despite Beltway consensus that they are to blame.Then, would it really be “winning” the shutdown to force Republicans to renew Affordable Care Act subsidies, without securing any new constraints on Trump's abuses of power? Would Democrats shut down the government again to have another fight centered more closely on Trump's authoritarian abuses? Is the dictatorial overreach bad enough now that Democrats should simply withhold their votes under any feasible set of concessions? And which prominent Democrats are doing resistance politics most effectively.All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading:* Matt argues that “authentic” politicians are mostly just acting.* Brian argues that “non-sequitur politics” are a bad basis for fighting fascism.* Bharat Ramamurti imagines how Democrats could force Trump closer to compliance with constitutional rule.

Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani continues to hold a significant lead in the New York City mayoral polls, despite business leaders warning that his progressive policies could spark an exodus of both companies and residents. His platform includes tax hikes on top earners, rent freezes, and promises like free buses and free childcare. His popularity in our country's largest city highlights the concern that capitalism is losing popularity. A Gallup poll from last month indicates that only 54% view capitalism favorably, down from 60% in 2021. Meanwhile, 39% of Americans—in that same poll—say they have a positive perception of socialism. Despite a track record of failed experiments worldwide, voters and lawmakers appear to be warming to socialism-inspired policies; for example, up to 18 states have experimented with universal basic income programs. FOX Business Network's Dave Asman joins Gerri Willis to discuss his new four-part series, "The Socialism Threat," which examines the failures of socialism in the past and how governments are now trying to reverse the economic damage done.
