Podcasts about Democratic Party

In this hard-hitting segment, the hosts argue that recent threats and planned attacks against conservative figures are not the work of isolated, radicalized individuals, but rather a coordinated, South American-style Marxist guerrilla uprising tied to the Democratic Party. Citing a 58% spike in threats against members of Congress reported by the US Capitol Police, the discussion exposes how foreign influence networks—specifically billionaire Neville Roy Singham operating out of Shanghai—are allegedly funding CCP propaganda at US protests. The hosts sound the alarm on figures like Hasan Piker radicalizing followers toward violence, and call on the Republican party to build a unified messaging apparatus to hold the Democratic leadership accountable before a mass tragedy occurs.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Was 2024 already lost for Democrats before Biden dropped out? Michael examines a provocative argument from veteran Democratic strategist Doug Sosnik: that the 2024 election was effectively decided long before President Biden exited the race. Drawing on Sosnik's Washington Post analysis, Michael explores three key factors—the decision to seek a second term, public dissatisfaction with immigration policy, and Democratic overconfidence following the 2022 midterms. Was Biden's late withdrawal merely the final chapter of a campaign already headed for defeat, or could a different nominee and a longer runway have changed the outcome?

This week we invited Daniel Tutt and C. Derick Varn to talk about their new book, The People are Not One: Socialist Strategy After Left Populism.  From the publisher: In The People Are Not One, Daniel Tutt and C. Derick Varn dismantle the central illusion of contemporary left politics: that “the people” can serve as a coherent subject of emancipation. Against both right and left populisms, they argue that this fantasy of unity obscures real class antagonisms and traps socialism in a dead-end politics of moral appeal and electoral maneuver. Through a sustained critique of left-populism, post-Marxist theory, and Democratic Party–oriented socialism, Tutt and Varn show how the collapse of mass politics, alongside debates over the professional-managerial class and the atomization of working-class life, has produced a strategic impasse on the left. What follows is not a lament but a provocation: a call to abandon populist shortcuts and rebuild socialist strategy on the terrain of class struggle as it actually exists—uneven, divided, and politically unformed. The People Are Not One is a manifesto for a post-populist left willing to confront fragmentation head-on and begin the long work of reconstructing class power. https://www.revolpress.com/people-not-one https://danieltutt.com/ https://www.patreon.com/cw/varnvlog 

Tudor Dixon is joined by Kyle Olson, founder of The Midwesterner, to discuss a shocking labor trafficking case that federal prosecutors described as a modern-day slavery operation. The two examine how a criminal organization allegedly exploited foreign workers through the H-2A visa program, generating hundreds of millions of dollars while subjecting thousands to harsh working conditions. They also explore the broader debate surrounding immigration enforcement, labor shortages, border security, and the role of ICE in combating human trafficking and worker exploitation. Tudor and Kyle question why stories involving labor abuse receive limited media attention and discuss the political implications heading into the 2026 midterm elections. The conversation then shifts to the Democratic Party’s internal divisions, examining growing tensions over socialism, national identity, foreign policy, and party leadership. They analyze polling trends, the rise of progressive candidates, and what these ideological battles could mean for future elections.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A storm was perched over DC for Fight Night. And just like that, the storm went around DC as if commanded by God Himself…The UFC event at the WH was spectacular. It was like the Super Bowl of fighting, and the commercials alone were worth the price of admission. The UFC event at the White House was spectacular—Super Bowl of striking and grappling, where the commercials alone delivered more knockout value than most fight cards. I read this tweet about the event:Remember when Obama joked that Donald Trump would never be President and Trump hit back by strategically dismantling the entire Democratic Party over a 10 year period culminating with a UFC Fighter announcing that Michele Obama is a man.And how about that Marine Corps BAND! Super Bowl of elbows and egos, where even the commercials could knock you out. And that Marine Corps Band? They didn't just play—they dropped the national anthem like it owed them money. And they played all the music, and truly shocked me with how good they were.I won't spend a lot of time on this, but I will say that watching fighters showcase their abilities and sportsmanship was something to behold.It was a toxic masculinity extravaganza. And every one of the fighters thanked President Trump for the event.I felt like it was Roman times without all the death and sex.Shout out to the new Secret Service too. Not one single “mysterious” incident where Democrats could try their annual tradition. Smooth, professional, and apparently allergic to letting history rhyme. Refreshing.Speaking of Leftists, let's take a breath and examine the exquisite contradictions of the modern Left.

Is America really a "failed experiment"? On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor Dixon is joined by Kyle Olson, founder of The Midwesterner, to break down a series of revealing moments from the worlds of politics, media, and government accountability. Tudor and Kyle react to comments from The View's Sonny Hostin, who called the United States a "failed experiment," and discuss why anti-American rhetoric continues to resonate with some progressive audiences. They also examine the Democratic Party’s ongoing struggle to connect with working-class voters and young men. The conversation turns to Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner, the activists who recruited him, and the growing influence of democratic socialist organizations in candidate selection. Tudor and Kyle analyze what Platner’s controversies reveal about the modern progressive movement and the Democratic Party’s search for its future leadership. Plus, they unpack Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s controversial hot-mic moment about local opposition to data centers, the growing backlash against government-imposed development projects, and concerns about taxpayer-funded incentives for major corporations. Finally, the pair discuss congressional investigations into ActBlue, allegations surrounding campaign fundraising practices, offshore wind turbine controversies, national security concerns, and the broader debate over energy policy in America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is the Democratic Party collapsing under the weight of anti-Semitism, open-border policies, identity politics, and the abandonment of working-class voters? Or is something even bigger happening beneath the surface? Batya Ungar-Sargon joins Jillian Michaels for one of the most explosive conversations of the year. From the growing divide inside MAGA to the civil war tearing apart the Left, Batya exposes the political realignment nobody in the mainstream media wants to talk about. Why are Black voters abandoning Democrats? Why are former liberals sounding the alarm? And why are Americans increasingly rejecting the political establishment on both sides? Plus: Trump's biggest test yet. Will the Iran crisis end in peace, regime change, or a wider war? What happens if Trump's strategy succeeds—and what happens if it fails? Batya also breaks down the shocking alliance forming between the woke right and the woke left, the Israel-Gaza debate consuming American politics, the controversies surrounding Sam Harris and Megyn Kelly, and the argument at the center of her explosive new book. And looking ahead to 2026 and beyond: Could the midterms become a political bloodbath? Is the future of the Republican Party JD Vance or Marco Rubio? Is the Democratic Party headed toward Gavin Newsom, AOC, or something even more radical? The answers may surprise you.

I'm concerned because I don't know how any political movement survives this level of public self-destruction. These people are EVIL.Seriously, what is the sales pitch anymore?Imagine you're recruiting for the Democratic Party in 2026."Come join us. We oppose voter ID. We defend government waste until someone finds it. We support policies voters reject, then call the voters the problem. We lose elections and immediately begin holding seminars on why reality is unfair."Who signs up for that?And yet somehow they're still here.It's like watching a political version of a mall store that's been "Going Out of Business" since 1997. Every time you drive by, the liquidation signs are bigger, the windows are dirtier, and somehow they're still open.[ARC] Democrats LeavingTake Florida House Democrat Lindsay Cross.She recently announced she won't seek reelection.Now maybe there are personal reasons. Politics is demanding work. But if I were a Democrat officeholder looking around at my party right now, I'd probably be checking emergency exits too.Because what exactly are these people defending anymore?Every week Democrats discover a new hill to die on.Not a mountain.Not a strategic position.A hill.A tiny, insignificant mound that normal Americans didn't even know existed until Democrats climbed on top of it waving a flag.The latest example?President Trump wants to beautify Washington, D.C.And Democrats are upset.Think about how remarkable that is.There are wars.Inflation concerns.Crime.The border.National debt.But somewhere in America sits a Democrat operative furiously typing a memo titled: "Why Cleaner Streets Are A Threat To Democracy."You couldn't parody these people aggressively enough to catch up with reality.And what fascinates me isn't their insanity. It's their honesty.They're finally saying the quiet part out loud.For decades, Democrats wrapped radical ideas in beautiful language.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

And as I said earlier, the modern Left is deranged and dangerous because the ideology creates madness.When you live a lie long enough, reality becomes the enemy. And if reality becomes the enemy, eventually the people telling the truth become targets.Communication is the key. I know that sounds trite, but it is a fact. If you can't communicate with somebody, if you can't let them speak openly without judgment or punishment, the relationship won't survive.And that is what should give people hope: the Left cannot communicate anymore.It can chant. It can accuse. It can cancel. It can threaten. It can scream into a camera like the Constitution personally stole its bicycle.But it cannot persuade.And now we are hearing disturbing details surrounding the man who tried to kill President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.Source to review: https://x.com/ShaneCashman/status/2063345495351734696There is nothing weird, apparently, about Thomas Matthew Crooks emailing a deputy from Butler before the assassination attempt.Nothing weird about him practicing at the same range used by Homeland Security.Nothing weird about local police and Secret Service spotting him with a rangefinder, photographing him, texting about him for over an hour, and still letting him climb onto a roof with a rifle.Nothing weird about the Secret Service not flying drones that day, while Crooks was.Nothing weird about his body being cremated ten days later before Congress could examine it.At some point, the official story doesn't even have to be false to be insulting.Because the pile of coincidences gets so tall it needs aircraft lights.It's one thing to watch judges thwart President Trump's policy agenda. It is another thing to watch them do it with the subtlety of a brass band falling down a staircase.So what if the president's immigration policy works? Since when has success stopped a Leftist judge from interfering?Source to review: https://x.com/C_3C_3/status/2063055778261373344That is what happened with Judge John McConnell, who ordered the Trump administration to restart asylum and immigration processing tied to 39 countries.A federal judge blocked a Trump immigration policy affecting people from those countries, including applications for asylum, work permits, green cards, and citizenship processing.And yes, critics point to McConnell's political donation history. If a judge has a long record of political giving and then produces rulings that read like the Democratic Party's emergency brake, Americans are allowed to ask questions.This is the real problem.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ralph talks to journalist and M.Div. Chris Hedges about Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on artificial intelligence. Then, Ralph speaks with Rick Engler (former member of the US Chemical Safety and Hazards Investigation Board) about Trump's proposed closing of that agency. Finally, Ralph pays tribute to some recently departed friends.Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He is the host of The Chris Hedges Report, and he is a prolific author— his latest book is A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine.I think that Pope Leo kind of missed the point of AI. In that he describes that it could be a positive force for Catholic education (these are his words), compassionate health care, creative platforms that tell the Christian story with truth and beauty. I think those were all indications to me that he didn't quite understand what AI is about. It's not about education, it's not about compassion, it's not about truth, and it's not about beauty. It is a very pernicious force that will go beyond, of course, replacing all sorts of labor, but creating a world where fact and fiction are blurred together.Chris HedgesI think that mass organization is kind of all we have left as we barrel towards an authoritarian state. Congress doesn't function, certainly doesn't function as Congress was designed to function. They have surrendered their traditional constitutional authority, including, of course, the call for Congress to declare war. And this kind of unitary executive branch—this was put into place, by the way, before Trump. He's just taken advantage of it…And I think that it's absolutely fundamental that we recapture that kind of militancy, that kind of organized workforce that has traditionally throughout our history been such an important corrective to democracy—along with, of course, journalism.Chris HedgesRick Engler is a former U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board member and labor advocate who founded the New Jersey Work Environment Council. He has advocated for successful landmark state and national public policies that ensure workers and the public's “right to know” about potential chemical dangers, and that promote safer processes, chemical incident prevention, and whistleblower protection.The CSB is unique. I mean, nobody would think of abolishing the National Transportation Safety Board. And no one should think about abolishing the Chemical Safety Board, which does the same thing. It's not about issuing, in this case, fines or violations. It's about trying to understand the underlying causes of what led to these incidents.Rick Engler[Trump's allies] have a certain religious fervor about this. When I talk to plant managers, the plant managers of the corporations are much more careful and nuanced in most cases. They don't want their own plants to explode. But somewhere at the higher corporate levels, I think they're just willing to take the risks that the tradeoff for them is: Trump is supporting them in so many ways, why interfere? Why become part of some nuanced opposition to the most extreme EPA attacks? But I do think the elimination of the CSB is driven by the Trump administration in a way that wouldn't be happening if it was just left to the chemical industry trade associations alone. I'm not sure that's an adequate answer. I'm actually kind of puzzled by it. Because it's also really clear that if there was any one major incident, it would cost so much money—not only in the human tragedy of the lives lost and neighbors harmed and evacuations and shelter-in-place and property damage, but these incidents destroy facilities.Rick EnglerNews 6/12/26* Our top stories this week come to us from California, where, after an excruciatingly protracted wait, authorities have finally called some of the most high-profile races. In Los Angeles, Democratic Socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman has secured the second slot in the mayoral race, beating out reactionary former reality television star Spencer Pratt, PBS reports. Pratt garnered significant attention from conservative media for his slick AI-generated ads and his false claims about living in an airstream trailer after his LA home burned down in the recent fires. In actuality, he was living in the posh Bel Air hotel, billed as a campaign expense, per TMZ. Now the question becomes whether or not Raman will be able to expand her coalition to unseat incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in November.* If Raman's victory is the good news however, the bad news is that Trump-endorsed Republican Steve Hilton will advance in the gubernatorial race. He will face off against former California Attorney General and Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, who has accepted large campaign contributions from the California Association of Realtors, the California Medical Association and even Chevron, per CalMatters. This outcome means progressive billionaire Tom Steyer will not advance. Many are placing the blame for this on former Congresswoman Katie Porter, who remained in the race despite clearly failing to achieve any real viability throughout the race. This has drawn comparisons to Elizabeth Warren's perceived role as a spoiler candidate vis-a-vis Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic Primary, particularly since Porter is a highly visible protégé of Senator Warren. In his concession speech, Steyer closed by telling his supporters “Pay attention. Know what you deserve, and know who is on your side. Understand who the villains are, and say their names out loud. Continue to demand more from your leaders and your government, until they give you the California – and the country – you know you deserve. I will be with you all the way.”* Elsewhere in California however, progressives scored major victories. In California's 22nd congressional district, Bernie Sanders-backed Randy Villegas secured a spot in the top two, beating out his opponent Jasmine Bains, who enjoyed the backing of AIPAC and 53 corporate donors, according to the American Prospect. He will face Republican incumbent Congressman David Valadao in November. Even more impressive is the victory of progressive challenger Mai Vang in California's 7th district primary, where she actually emerged as the top vote getter, beating out longtime incumbent Congresswoman Doris Matsui. However, because Matsui, who is 81 years old, won the second-most votes, she will still advance to the general election.* Another much-anticipated primary was held this week on the exact other end of the country. In Maine, Graham Platner trounced his opponents in the Democratic Senate race, winning over 70% of the vote despite a concerted campaign against him in the national press. In his victory speech, CNN reports Platner wrote off the smears, saying “They don't know Maine.” Furthermore, he said “If you believe, as I do, that we can change our politics, and change our country, then you must also believe that people can change…To all those who feel let down, disappointed, or disillusioned. It is my job to earn your trust, your faith, and your support. And I will spend every day of this campaign, and if I have the privilege, every day in the United States Senate, doing exactly that.” Platner will face off against five-term incumbent Senator Susan Collins in a race that will be decisive if Democrats are to have any chance of retaking the Senate in the 2026 midterms.* Turning towards the plains, two candidates are starting to show a surprising level of viability in heavily Republican, rural states. First, in Idaho, Todd Achilles is running as an independent against Republican incumbent Senator Jim Risch. Achilles served as a tank commander and armor officer in the Army before a varied career in the corporate world, education and now politics, according to Independent Voter News. The most striking development in this race is a new poll showing that while “Achilles starts out…behind by 14 points at 48-34…once voters hear biographical information about him and negative messaging about Senator Risch, he gains a full 17 points…[leading] Risch, 41% to 38%.” If accurate, this would be a stunningly close race in a state where registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats by a margin greater than 5-to-1.* In South Dakota, Brian Bengs, another veteran turned educator – turned, in this case, National Park Ranger – is running shockingly close to incumbent Republican Senator Mike Rounds in a head-to-head matchup. According to the South Dakota Standard, the latest polling shows Rounds leading Bengs 44% to 40%, with 16% undecided. Moreover, like the Achilles poll, when voters are given biographical information about Bengs and negative messaging about Senator Rounds, that margin flips to 44% in favor of Bengs, compared to just 42% for Rounds. If these polls are accurate and independent candidates – not just Achilles and Bengs but also Dan Osborn in Nebraska and Seth Bodnar in Montana – prove viable, perhaps even victorious, in states long seen as out of reach for non-Republicans, there will have to be a serious reckoning with the toxicity of the Democratic Party brand in the American heartland.* In Michigan, progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed has picked up perhaps the most critical possible endorsement in the state: that of the United Auto Workers. In a statement, the union wrote that “UAW members in Michigan want a fighter in Washington, D.C. who isn't afraid to push forward a strong working-class agenda with moral clarity…From Medicare for All to banning stock buybacks, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ready, eager, and well-equipped to move our core issues in the U.S. Senate.” Whether because of this endorsement or not, El-Sayed now seems to be in the driver's seat in this primary. This endorsement dovetails with UAW President Shawn Fain's rumored frustration with the mainstream labor movement for not doing more to back labor candidates, such as Clare Valdez in New York, who was a UAW organizer before entering the State Assembly.* On the House floor meanwhile, lame-duck dissident Republican Congressman Thomas Massie delivered a barn-burner of a speech this week, demanding that the government reopen the investigation into the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, Al Jazeera reports. The attack on the Liberty, a US Navy vessel, killed 34 service members and injured 171 others. For decades, Israel has claimed that this was nothing more than an accidental incident of friendly fire, but the surviving veterans have long disputed this explanation, contending that it was a deliberate attack, either as a “false flag operation or because they simply didn't want anybody observing what they were doing that day.” Massie called on the House to “give them closure…It's long overdue. And then they can have their justice.”* Looking to Latin America, the presidential election in Peru is, predictably, coming down to a razor thin margin, WLRN reports. This race, between left-wing Senator Roberto Sánchez and Keiko Fujimori, perennial presidential candidate and daughter of former dictator Alberto Fujimori, currently stands at 50.004% for Fujimori and 49.996% for Sánchez, with 98.258% of the votes tabulated. Sánchez was favored to win after the in-country votes were counted, then Fujimori pulled ahead when the votes from Miami came in, other absentee votes eroded that margin and gave Sánchez the edge once again but Fujimori has yet again pulled ahead by a hair. This is Fujimori's fourth presidential campaign, making it to the runoff each time but ultimately losing by the narrowest of margins.* Finally, in Colombia, Progressive International reports that while Colombian President Gustavo Petro presides at the United Nations Security Council, “conservative forces in the country's legislature have conspired against the constitution to ‘SUSPEND' his presidency — just 11 days from the run-off presidential election.” While Reuters adds that the proposal must be “debated and approved by all ‌16 ⁠members of the [legislative Commission of Investigation and ​Accusation] and subsequently by the Senate before it can take effect,” it is hard to see this as anything besides an opportunistic grab for power while the proverbial cat is away. Petro's four-year term ends in August; the runoff in the presidential election, between leftist Ivan Cepeda and right-wing lawyer Abelardo ​De La Espriella, will be held on ​June 21st.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Former Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland won the New Mexico Democratic gubernatorial primary this month, and if she wins this November, she would become the first female Native American governor in U.S. history. Haaland was already the first Native American cabinet secretary, which she describes in her new memoir as a uniquely profound experience: “Unlike any previous interior secretary, I had inherited trauma caused by the very institution I led. But I had also inherited the courage, perseverance, and love of community that had been passed down to me since my Pueblo ancestors' first footsteps on the desert earth.” We'll talk with Haaland about her reflections on the eve of America's 250th as a civil servant, and why she still defends the Democratic Party. Her new memoir is “A Voice Like Mine.” Guests: Deb Haaland, former United States Secretary of the Interior under President Biden; Democratic nominee for governor, New Mexico; author of the new memoir, "A Voice Like Mine" Learn more about your ad choices.

Harrison Mann was an army intelligence officer who resigned in protest against the genocide in Gaza in 2024. Since then, he's been a man on a mission--against war, against the political appointees who perpetuate war crimes and genocide, and for a new, more progressive foreign policy cadre for the Democratic Party. Mann joins Dr. Van Jackson in this episode about the future of Democratic Party foreign policy, being a CNN pundit, the latest on the war with Iran and whether the US will invade Kharg Island, using wargames for peace, and why a reckoning with the crimes of the Biden administration is so essential.  Read's Harrison Mann's piece in Zeteo, "Biden's Genocide Squad Must Be Stopped Before They Strike Again": https://zeteo.com/p/biden-genocide-squad-blinken-sullivan-stopped  Follow Harrison Mann on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harrison_j_mann/  Subscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.com/  Watch Un-Diplomatic Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@un-diplomaticpodcast  Disclaimer: The views expressed are those of the individuals and not of any institutions

They dissect the implications of the recent New York Times bombshell that links Trump to child abuse allegations, highlighting the panic within the White House as officials scramble to protect him rather than the victims.

You don't need protests, marches, or manufactured outrage to expose today's Democratic Party. All you have to do is let them talk. The reaction to the murder of Austin Metcalf and the conviction of Carmelo Anthony tells you everything you need to know. Instead of standing firmly on the side of truth, personal responsibility, and justice, too many voices on the left immediately turned to victimhood, racial division, and excuses. Facts became secondary. Reality became optional. Perhaps no one illustrated that disconnect better than Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. Her comments suggesting the knife used in the killing was somehow not a deadly weapon and that Carmelo Anthony was simply trying to get out of the rain are so detached from common sense that they almost defy belief. A young man is dead. A family is devastated. Yet instead of focusing on the victim, some politicians seem more interested in creating narratives that fit their political agenda. What should have been a straightforward conversation about right and wrong quickly became another attempt to inflame racial tensions and pit Americans against each other. The same people who claim to oppose division seem determined to inject race into every tragedy, every crime, and every headline. Today on Stinchfield, I break down how Democrats are often their own worst enemy. Their words reveal the lack of common sense. Their arguments expose the victim mentality. Their reactions uncover a worldview detached from reality. The more they speak, the more Americans see through the deception. The truth is simple: when your ideas can't survive scrutiny, outrage becomes the strategy. And that's exactly what's happening before our eyes.

The five leading candidates in the Democratic primary for New York's 12th Congressional District in Manhattan squared off this week in a spirited debate hosted by NY1, seeking to draw sharp contrasts ahead of Election Day. The debate was moderated by NY1's Errol Louis, WNYC host Brian Lehrer and WNYC senior political reporter Brigid Bergin. Bergin joined "You Decide" to discuss the behind-the-scenes decisions that shaped the debate, including the need to focus on a handful of key federal issues such as the state of the Democratic Party, affordability, Israel and healthcare. They also assessed the candidates' performances, examined who gained the most from the debate, and highlighted important questions that didn't make it to the stage.

Kurt Schlichter, retired Army Colonel, trial attorney, senior columnist at Townhall.com, and author most recently of the Kelly Turnbull novel PANAMA RED, on his upcoming cruise in the Gulf of America, his thoughts on the Democratic Party's latest nominees and the potential for a two-party system to shift towards a Republican Party and the Democratic-Socialist Party. He also discusses the importance of regime change in Iran and the challenges of implementing it. With his trademark wit and humor, Kurt tackles topics that are both timely and thought-provoking. Kurt's conversation is peppered with humorous anecdotes, including a fun discussion about the TV show "The Love Boat."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Democratic Party is still searching for a path forward after losses in the 2024 election. With the November midterms looming, Democrats are trying different strategies to win back the hearts and votes of the electorate. Do they focus on ideology, running more populist, progressive candidates? Or do they make the case that the party needs a generational shift in leadership? Marisa and Scott are joined by two congressional candidates running on change who have made it through the primaries to take on longtime incumbents. Sacramento City Councilmember Mai Vang is challenging Democratic Rep. Doris Matsui in Sacramento and progressive college professor Randy Villegas is taking on Republican Rep. David Valadao in the Central Valley.  Track the latest election results here. Check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠Political Breakdown's weekly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠, delivered straight to your inbox.

Quick recapKoop and Russ conducted their podcast "Two Grumpy Bastards" with a round-robin format of video clips and commentary, discussing political figures, current events, and social issues. They reviewed clips featuring Republican politicians like Max Miller and Brandon Gill confronting Democratic colleagues in Congress, criticized Democratic candidates including Graham Plattner's controversial nomination in Maine, discussed the Carmelo Anthony murder trial verdict, examined community demonstrations in Seattle regarding public safety, and addressed European political tensions including an attempted beheading in Ireland. The conversation covered topics ranging from congressional hearings and political morality to criminal justice, immigration issues, and educational displays in schools, with both hosts expressing frustration with what they perceive as declining standards in public discourse and political representation.SummaryVideo Format Discussion PlanningKoop and Russ discussed doing a round robin of videos instead of deep diving into one or two topics as they normally do. They briefly talked about an upcoming hockey game between teams tied at 2-2. The conversation ended with Koop mentioning technical difficulties with screen sharing and testing audio quality.Podcast Format and Video PlanningKoop and Russ discussed their podcast format and planned to do a round robin of videos with quick discussions after each one. They began with a video featuring Republican representative Max Miller responding to Rashida Tlaib's comments about US involvement in Lebanon, where Miller argued against a resolution criticizing American foreign policy and instead focused on the threat posed by Hezbollah. The conversation included some casual discussion about sports teams before transitioning to their planned video content format.Political Congress Exchanges DiscussionKoop and Russ discussed various political exchanges and moments from Congress, focusing on specific lawmakers and their controversial statements or actions. They highlighted exchanges involving Max Miller, Rashida Tlaib, and Jack Smith, as well as discussing the conduct of other members like Brandon Gill and Wayne Mullen. The conversation included analysis of specific incidents, such as subpoenas of Kevin McCarthy and concerns about social media posts by DHS, with both participants sharing their opinions on the political implications and the effectiveness of certain lawmakers.Political Discussion and Candidate CritiqueKoop and Russ discussed several political topics, including Marco Rubio's potential as a presidential candidate and his performance in a congressional hearing where he was interrupted by another representative. They criticized Democratic politicians, particularly Graham Plattner, Maine's Democratic Senate nominee, whom they described as an inappropriate candidate due to past accusations. The conversation also touched on Seattle's homeless policies and the residents' response to them, as well as the Democratic Party's nomination of Plattner despite his controversial background.Carmelo Anthony Murder Case DiscussionRuss and Koop discussed the case of Carmelo Anthony, who was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison. Russ emphasized that the case should not be viewed through a racial lens, stating that it was about individual responsibility and the violent actions of Anthony. They discussed the jury composition, with Russ clarifying that it was not entirely white, and addressed misconceptions about Anthony's legal representation. Russ expressed that the sentence was too lenient and advocated for harsher punishment, while both agreed that the quick jury deliberation indicated a clear verdict.Anthony Case and Public SafetyKoop and Russ discussed the Anthony case, agreeing that the defendant should have pleaded out rather than going to trial, and they debated the appropriate treatment of teenagers as adults for serious crimes. They watched a video of a community march in Seattle protesting crime and lack of enforcement, noting the peaceful nature of the demonstration compared to typical leftist protests. The discussion concluded with criticism of Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson for not attending the march and her perceived lack of priorities regarding public safety.European Tensions and Security ConcernsKoop and Russ discussed the escalating situation in Europe, particularly in Ireland, where tensions are rising due to an attempted beheading incident. They noted that the Irish public, including the left, is becoming increasingly concerned about the situation and the government's inability to protect citizens. Russ suggested that vigilantism might become more prevalent if governments continue to fail in their duties, and both agreed that cultural and immigration issues are contributing to the unrest. They also discussed the potential for further violence, especially if different communities in Northern Ireland unite against common threats.Pride Month Display ControversyKoop and Russ discussed a Pride Month display at Graham-Kapowsin High School that included vials of testosterone, which Koop criticized as inappropriate given the controlled substance status of testosterone. They noted that while woke initiatives have become more muted recently, they remain active and require continued vigilance. The conversation concluded with Koop sharing humorous clips, including a joke about British colonies and a reference to French warfare tactics.Thank you for listening and subscribing and liking the hell out of us!Politics.

The Democratic Party is in the middle of a rupture over foreign policy – with Israel and Palestine at the center. In recent weeks, the Democratic senators Brian Schatz and Chris Van Hollen both called for a break with the Biden administration's policies toward Israel. Schatz said the next administration needs “a whole new crop of foreign policy staffers,” while Van Hollen went further, accusing Biden's senior decision makers of “complicity.” And Gaza has become a central issue splitting Democrats in primaries around the country. It's become such a profound fault line, it reminds me of how the Iraq war remade the Democratic Party years ago. And Democrats face huge foreign policy questions beyond Gaza, too. Trump has taken a wrecking ball to the rules-based order, and the American public has become increasingly cynical about U.S. interventions abroad. Do Democrats want to try to restore what came before Trump? Is that even possible? Or is there a vision for something new? Matt Duss is at the center of foreign policy thinking on the left. He's the executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, previously served as Senator Bernie Sanders's foreign policy adviser and is currently advising Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. So I thought he'd be the perfect person to ask: What would a left foreign policy actually look like? What would it try to do in the world?Mentioned: “The Hard Truth My Party Needs to Face” by Chris Van Hollen “Democrats Can't Avoid a Reckoning With Gaza” by Matthew Duss “Why We Need a Progressive Foreign Policy” by Chris Murphy “Congressman Jason Crow's New Vision for American Foreign Policy” by Jason Crow Book Recommendations: Crisis of the Common Good by Chris Murphy From Life Itself by Suzy Hansen Book of Mercy by Leonard Cohen Thoughts?

James Carville (political strategist & consultant) joins Chris Cuomo to explain why he believes Donald Trump poses a unique threat to America, why Democrats need to stop playing defense, and why he thinks it's time to go all-in against Trump and MAGA. Carville argues that Trump's actions are doing lasting damage to the country, while Cuomo challenges whether anger and escalation are actually the best path to winning elections. The two debate whether Democrats should focus on exposing Trump's behavior or offering a more compelling alternative, the political lessons of Bill Clinton, the future of the Democratic Party, the rise of James Talarico and Graham Platner, why voters forgive politicians they believe are fighting for them, the state of the 2026 midterms, and whether Trump's political movement is stronger or weaker than it appears. They also discuss media incentives, economic populism, and whether Democrats are missing the biggest opportunity in American politics today. #news #politics #trump #democrats #cuomo Join The Chris Cuomo Project on YouTube for ad-free episodes, early releases, exclusive access to Chris, and more: https://www.youtube.com/@chriscuomo/join Follow and subscribe to The Chris Cuomo Project on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube for new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday: https://linktr.ee/cuomoproject Head to https://cozyearth.com and use code CHRIS for an exclusive 20% off.

In a shocking turn of events, a recent California primary election has left many scratching their heads. The jungle primary system, which allows all candidates to compete in a single primary, has been criticized for its potential to manipulate the outcome. This episode delves into the details of the election, where a socialist candidate, Nithya Raman, seemingly overnight went from being in third place to taking the lead. The conversation with Joel Pollock, opinion editor at the California Post, sheds light on the vulnerabilities in California's election system. From relaxed signature laws to ballot harvesting, the discussion highlights the many issues that have led to a lack of trust in the electoral process. The speaker shares his expertise on the complexities of California's voting system and the potential for fraud.

He also touches on the issue of ballot harvesting, where mass ballots are sent out and collected by the Democratic Party, giving them an unfair advantage. The conversation also covers the role of the US Attorney, Bill A. Saley, in investigating the election irregularities. If you're concerned about the integrity of California's election system, this episode is a must-listen.
