Jack Posobiec joins Tudor Dixon to sound the alarm over what he sees as the growing influence of socialism in America — and why conservatives may be fighting it the wrong way. Posobiec, senior editor at Human Events and co-author of Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them), discusses the new edition of the book and argues that socialist politics are gaining traction with younger and middle-class Americans frustrated by the economy, jobs, immigration, and the political establishment. Tudor and Posobiec examine the rise of socialist candidates across the country, including Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, and discuss how economic resentment, institutional influence, and political loyalty can fuel revolutionary movements. They also take a closer look at El-Sayed’s political record and past views, the battle over the nuclear family, the legacy of COVID-era government power, political violence, Charlie Kirk, Luigi Mangione, and why Posobiec believes Americans need to understand the tactics historically used by communist and socialist movements before those ideas gain even more political power. Plus, Posobiec explains what history — from the Soviet Union and communist China to Eastern Europe — can teach Americans about revolutionary politics and why he believes the United States is facing a critical ideological battle. The new edition of Unhumans arrives September 29.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of 47 Morning Update w Ben Ferguson, Ben examines the escalating conflict between Democratic Party veterans and influential voices on the far left, focusing on James Carville’s criticism of Piker, the role of the Democratic Socialists of America, and what they argue are signs of growing tension within the party. They discuss ideological battles over socialism, party identity, economic policy, generational politics, and the potential electoral consequences of those divisions. A growing dispute inside the Democratic Party is drawing national attention as longtime Democratic strategist James Carville publicly denounces streamer and self-described socialist Hasan Piker, arguing that Democratic Socialists should stop using the Democratic label. The clash raises a larger question: is the party experiencing a genuine ideological divide, or simply confronting the consequences of empowering its progressive wing? The debate comes as Democratic Socialists, progressive activists, and party establishment figures argue over the future direction of the party ahead of a major election. Comments from Carville, responses from Piker, and broader concerns about socialism, party branding, and voter coalitions have intensified the conversation. Topics Covered: James Carville’s criticism of Piker and the Democratic Socialists of America Debate over whether progressive activists represent a faction of the Democratic Party or a separate movement Discussion of Abdul El-Sayed and progressive political organizing Arguments about socialism, government spending, inflation, and economic policy The role of education, media influence, and generational political change Questions about how ideological divisions could affect upcoming elections Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Stephen A. Smith is best known for sports commentary. But now, he's weighing in on the direction of both political parties — and even considering a potential 2028 presidential run. In a wide-ranging conversation with Dasha, the outspoken analyst explains why he believes he could win the presidency but won't give up his career to campaign. He also discusses what he thinks is wrong with today's political class, his criticism of the direction of the Democratic Party, Donald Trump's appeal to voters, his interviews with controversial figures and the 2028 contenders he's watching — including a MAGA Republican he could consider voting for.

Donny sits down with Maryland Governor Wes Moore — reelection candidate, National Governors Association chairman, and one of the most closely watched figures in the Democratic Party — for a wide-ranging conversation. Moore breaks down how Maryland cut violent crime by nearly 60%, why he's pushing back on the current ICE approach while still working with federal partners, and the $10 million anti-hate initiative he launched to protect Jewish communities and other targeted groups. He gets candid on the state of the Democratic Party, the DSA, and what it takes to win back independents like Donny himself. As a veteran, he doesn't hold back on the USS Lincoln situation, Secretary Hegseth, and the muddled rationale behind escalating tensions with Iran. He also reflects on being only the third Black governor in U.S. history — and closes with his answer (or non-answer) on 2028.

Maine's Sen. Susan Collins (R) has won five elections in a row, and a Democrat has not won a United States Senate seat in the state since 1988 — but polls suggest Mainers have reached a breaking point. They're tired of corruption and inaction from establishment politicians in Washington, D.C., and they're clamoring for change.  Troy Jackson, a fifth-generation logger who spent nearly two decades as a state legislator, says he's ready to shake things up. After populist insurgent Graham Platner dropped out of the race in July, Maine's Democratic Party tapped Jackson as its new candidate. Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Jackson to ask: why haven't Democrats won a U.S. Senate seat in Maine in 38 years? Why does Collins keep winning? What's changed in Maine over the last three decades, and why does he believe he can finally topple the state's longtime Republican senator?

If desperation had a scent all of Midtown Manhattan would be overwhelmed from the stench generated by Fox News headquarters. What started out as a dream for the network on January 20, 2025, has turned into a nightmare of another never-ending war in the Middle East, high gas prices, a rise in the popularity of socialism, and a mentally declining president who is more focused on his vanity projects than his campaign promises.Fox News was so panicked the network dedicated entire segments to Hasan Piker, a controversial leftwing Twitch streamer who is not well known outside of his specific audience.The network has brought up Piker and his problematic statements for the past few months. Last week his name showed up in the transcripts 73 times which was more often than the words Israel, China, Biden, gas or even midterm appeared.The network is determined to make Piker the new face of the Democratic Party even though he has an army of critics among prominent left of center lawmakers and political pundits.He also has made no move to seek public office or engage in fundraising at a scale that would rival a PAC or mega donor.Other than Fox's obsessive coverage of Piker the network was a jumbled mess of pop culture stories, fantasies involving Hillary Clinton, deceptive segments about an interview with Abdul El-Sayed and fawning praise for the glorious leader - Donald J. Trump. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit decodingfoxnews.substack.com/subscribe

A 220–192–2 House vote is setting off a major political fight in Washington.H. Res. 1490 condemned and denounced socialism “in all its forms,” reaffirmed that American elections are for American citizens, and called for enactment of the SAVE America Act.All Republicans and eight Democrats voted yes. A total of 192 Democrats voted no, while two Democrats voted present.In this video, Professor Nez breaks down:• The exact language Congress voted on• Why Republicans say the result exposes a defining ideological divide• Why some Democrats say the SAVE America Act language made the resolution a political trap• What the resolution changes—and what it does not• Why this vote could become a major midterm campaign issueImportant context: H. Res. 1490 is nonbinding and did not enact the SAVE America Act. Because the resolution bundled multiple provisions together, a no vote establishes opposition to the complete resolution but does not, by itself, establish agreement or disagreement with every individual clause.Read the resolution:https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BILLS-119hres1490ih/xhtml/BILLS-119hres1490ih.htmlWhat do you believe this vote reveals about the direction of the Democratic Party—and how much does the SAVE America Act language affect your interpretation?Subscribe to Professor Nez for breaking political news, fact-based analysis and straightforward explanations of what happens next.For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez✅ Reach out to me: https://bio.site/professornez✅ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/✅ Check out our Official Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@professornezclips▶ Support the Channel and Buy us a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/professornez#HouseVote #Socialism #Democrats #Congress #HRes1490 #SAVEAmericaAct #ElectionIntegrity #VoterID #2026Midterms #BreakingNews #PoliticalNews #USPolitics #ProfessorNez #NezNation

Joey Hudson, sitting in for Mike, breaks down a revealing House vote in which 192 Democrats refused to support a resolution condemning socialism. With Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates gaining ground and Zohran Mamdani helping push the movement further into the mainstream, Joey asks whether socialism is becoming the new Democratic Party playbook. He also looks at the staggering amounts of money pouring into the 2026 midterms and why Republicans should be taking the battleground Senate races seriously.

Neuroscientist, philosopher, and Making Sense podcast host Sam Harris joins Preet Bharara to examine why good-faith debate has become so difficult—and what that breakdown has done to American politics.They discuss social media's fragmentation of the information landscape and declining trust in the press and public institutions. They also consider Donald Trump's resilience in the face of scandal, the different standards applied to the political left and right, the Democratic Party's relationship with its activist wing, and whether Trumpism can survive Trump. Then, Preet and Sam turn to the rule of law: the growing impulse to prosecute political opponents, the limits of relying on norms, the difference between accountability and retribution, and what it would take to restore a measure of normalcy to American political life.

The Brooklyn Democratic Party passed a series of rule changes last week which reformers are calling a 'power grab' by the old guard, aimed at keeping the party's existing leaders in power, despite the protest of several prominent democrats. Gwynne Hogan, senior reporter at The City Reporter, and Jeff Coltin, editor-in-chief of City & State NY, unpack the saga, and what it tells us about the role of local party chapters in the city's changing political landscape.

Gene Simmons joins Andrew Gold for a completely unfiltered Heretics interview about KISS, celebrity politics, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Israel, fame, sex, money—and the first 29 years of his relationship with Shannon Tweed, which he now sees very differently. The KISS co-founder and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer explains why he believes the public should ignore political advice from entertainers—including himself. He takes aim at celebrity activism, discusses Kylie Jenner, Javier Bardem, Bruce Springsteen and Billie Eilish, reveals why he abandoned the Democratic Party, and warns that Los Angeles and New York are in deep trouble. But the most revealing moments are personal. Gene discusses being abandoned by his father, the terrifying childhood night that taught him to rely on himself, his extraordinary self-belief and why he says fame gave him permission to behave in ways an ordinary man never could. He also addresses the stories about 4,800 women, admits how his behaviour affected Shannon and their children, and responds directly to an explosive accusation involving his late KISS bandmate Ace Frehley. Along the way: Donald Trump, Mike Tyson, Margaret Thatcher, antisemitism, Israel, Islam, capitalism, the nuclear family, Gene's infamous tongue—and how KISS became “Disney without the overhead,” selling everything from condoms to caskets. This is Gene Simmons as few interviews capture him: funny, combative, candid and completely unfiltered.

While we were away over the summer, it was hard to miss stories about Democratic primary elections and seeming rise of the Democratic Socialists of America — followed almost immediately about the challenges DSA candidates will face in November's election. For our first episode of the fall season, we talk with a social movement scholar about whether the DSA's policies can win over enough votes to win in a general election and why political coalitions don't always align with the structure of America's two-party system. Rory McVeigh is the Nancy Reeves Dreux Professor of Sociology at the University of Notre Dame and and Director of the Center for the Study of Social Movements. He is the author of Politics and Privilege: How the Status Wars Sustain Inequality, along with William Carbonaro, Chang Liu, and Kenadi Silcox. The book investigates whether Americans are more likely to support a social-change organization if it explicitly opposes racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and religious bigotry or if it focuses exclusively on economic equality. Drawing on the results, they argue that privileged groups' desire to preserve their status is the primary obstacle to forming progressive alliances. We discuss what these findings mean for the DSA, the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party as we head into the midterms and the next presidential election cycle.
