Only one Democrat in the State House voted with Republicans, and it was none other than Detroit's Karen Whitsett. She's running for a Detroit City Council seat, but she's facing a young and energetic Democratic Socialist in Denzel McCampbell. That race is happening this November. 17:24-36:57: Whitmer Special Election Folly Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer continues to delay calling a special election for a state Senate seat that was last held by a Democrat. And by delaying this election, Whitmer is costing Democrats more than possibly losing the seat. Pat wishes Gov. Whitmer could be as bold and inspirational as other Democratic governors, like Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker. We applaud MI Democratic State Rep. Laurie Pohutsky for trying to limit The Trump Regime's authoritarianism. And the Democratic National Committee remains miles apart from Democratic & Independent voters on Gaza. 36:58-41:37: Bought & Paid For Influencers A recent story by Taylor Lorenz in Wired details how a dark money Democratic group is paying liberal podcasters and influencers to push the Democratic Party line. Pat promises you that he'll never make such a move, and explains why. 41:38-43:36: Football/Ending Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Michigan residents show support for Gaza aid, according to recent poll."

In thie episode of The Thompson Show, Todd traces the Red–Green Alliance from London to Minneapolis — exposing how Marxists and Islamists fuse identity politics, anti-Western rhetoric, and insurgent tactics into a permanent political front. Broadcast August 25, 2025 (WBCQ 7490 kHz), this episode takes a deep dive into the Red–Green Alliance — the unofficial but very real cooperation between far-left revolutionaries and Islamist movements. Todd unpacks how this alliance has played out in Europe and America: In England: from Ken Livingstone welcoming Muslim Brotherhood clerics into City Hall, to the Respect Party's fusion of Trotskyists and Islamist activists, to Jeremy Corbyn calling Hamas and Hezbollah his “friends.” These examples show how segments of the British Left traded legitimacy to Islamists in exchange for turnout and street power. On campuses and in media: post-colonial narratives reframed Islamist extremists as victims, while far-left academics embraced “decolonizing knowledge” and dismissed facts as tools of Western domination. In France: activists openly strategize about building “Muslim communist cadres,” treating mosques as political cells — a clear blueprint for how the Red–Green project embeds itself. In the U.S.: Minneapolis emerges as a revolutionary laboratory — from BLM protests to Ilhan Omar's megaphone, from refugee demographics to DSA insurgents like Omar Fateh. Todd dissects how every loss becomes “proof of rigging,” every setback becomes martyrdom fuel, and how DSA uses Democratic Party infrastructure as a Trojan horse. The episode also examines the limits of fusion: how clerics always outlast Marxist activists, why experiments in “Christian socialism” risk repeating the Jim Jones disaster, and how the Democratic Socialists of America fuse Palestinian solidarity with domestic insurgency. Todd's warning is clear: this is not ordinary politics. It is an insurgency hidden inside institutions, weaponizing identity grievance and class agitation against Western civilization itself.

The two most recent polls — Gotham and Siena — on the New York City mayoral race, show Democrat candidate Zohran Mamdani leading Andrew Cuomo, running second as an independent, by 18 and 19 points respectively. Mamdani defeated Cuomo in the Democratic primary in June, garnering 56.39 percent of the vote. Mamdani is a New York State Assemblyman, a Muslim born in Uganda and a declared member of Democratic Socialists of America. Commentators are attributing one major factor in Mamdani's success to large turnout and support from Gen Z voters, ages 18-29. Aside from Mamdani's unabashed socialism, he is also...Article Link

This week, Mike and Laureen break down the latest headlines shaping the conversation around Israel and the Middle East. They examine the Democratic Socialists of America's 2025 national convention and the passing of a resolution on the Palestinian “right of return.” The hosts explore whether Western journalists should be allowed into Gaza to report freely and uncover the real story behind Anas Al-Sharif — presented by some as an Al Jazeera journalist but revealed to be a Hamas commander. British journalist Melanie Phillips weighs in on the false narrative that Palestinians are the indigenous people of Israel, while Mike and Laureen analyze recent moves by Australia, the UK, France, Malta, Canada, Portugal, Germany and Bahrain to formally recognize “Palestine.” Finally, they review author and journalist Matti Friedman's sharp critique of the Associated Press and its disproportionate coverage of Israel, which often casts Israel as the aggressor while downplaying the broader regional hostility it faces.

In Part 2 of our electrifying conversation with Hasan Piker, Tom and Hasan move from the theoretical to the practical—zeroing in on public policy, the mechanics of innovation, and the often-contentious debate over what works, what doesn't, and why. As they continue their deep dive, the discussion shifts to unionization, globalization, and the realities of economic mobility in America. The pair examine the legacy of government intervention, compare the merits of public vs. private sector innovation, and weigh historical examples from the United States, China, and Europe. At the heart of this half lies a contentious discussion about national debt, inflation, and global financial confidence—juxtaposed with the DSA's (Democratic Socialists of America) current priorities, such as foreign policy, Medicare for All, and labor empowerment. Hasan offers his vision for a more just America, where wealth is abundant but more equitably shared, while Tom challenges the feasibility and consequences of such models. Whether it's healthcare, infrastructure, or rent control, this part is packed with hard-hitting perspectives, sharp disagreements, and the mutual drive to find real-world solutions to America's most urgent problems.

On this week's WBCQ Broadcast, Todd again took aim at the Red–Green Alliance—the tactical partnership between Marxist radicals and Islamist movements—showing how it's infested American politics via the Democratic Socialists of America. From Zohran Mamdani's ideological engineering to AOC's social-media storefront, from Bernie Sanders' Trojan horse campaigns to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib's Islamist grievance politics, Todd shows this is no conspiracy. It's a strategy playing out in real time. In the closing stretch, Thompson draws on Orwell to warn that the real target is America's cohesive narrative: patriotism itself. National pride, he argues, is the last barrier against ideological colonization, and once it's stripped away, nothing stops the replacement of the individualist American story with a hollow collectivist counterfeit.  

Former President Barack Obama recently spoke with New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, a conversation that has stirred speculation about a possible endorsement. Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist with a grassroots rise, has struggled with Black voter support — a group Obama's backing could influence.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg joins the Mo News Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation just months after leaving the Biden administration, to talk politics, democracy, aviation, fatherhood—and his latest thinking on a potential 2028 presidential run. Buttigieg weighs in on Trump's second term, his budget cuts, the flood of executive orders, and how worried he is about the state of American democracy. Why he thinks it is not a certainty that Democrats may be able to win the White House back in the coming years. He also shares what he's learned from his recent podcast tour (including stops popular on the right), what Democrats keep missing in their message, and his perspective on Trump's war on institutions like the media, universities, and major law firms. We dig into the Democratic Party's struggles with young and working-class voters, the rise of Democratic Socialists, and a generational shift to the right already underway. Buttigieg also reflects on his time in the Biden administration—including what he observed about Biden's cognitive state, whether he should've run for reelection, and whether Buttigieg wishes he said something earlier. Plus, we press him on his tenure as Transportation Secretary—from airline safety to the air traffic controller shortage. And, we look ahead at his growing alarm over AI's potential to destabilize American society. Finally, we discuss 2028 election plans: What he's weighing, what it would take to run again, and whether America is ready for another Buttigieg campaign.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Matthew 17:22-27 - As Jesus and His disciples were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is to be handed over to men, and they will kill Him, and He will be raised on the third day." And they were overwhelmed with grief. When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the temple tax approached Peter and said, "Does not your Teacher pay the temple tax?" "Yes," he said. When he came into the house, before he had time to speak, Jesus asked him, "What is your opinion, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take tolls or census tax? From their subjects or from foreigners?" When he said, "From foreigners," Jesus said to him, "Then the subjects are exempt. But that we may not offend them, go to the sea, drop in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. Open its mouth and you will find a coin worth twice the temple tax. Give that to them for Me and for you.” Memorial of Saint Clare, Virgin Saint Clare, pray for us!

This week, your Sustainability Now! host, Justin Mog, sits down with Robert LeVertis Bell, a JCPS teacher who has recently announced his candidacy for the open Kentucky House District 43 race. Bell's experience includes social justice activism, teaching in JCPS, and leadership in the Shelby Park Neighborhood Association and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). In late July, Robert LeVertis Bell, a community organizer and veteran of Louisville's progressive movement, announced his campaign to represent Kentucky House District 43 in the 2026 Democratic primary. Bell, a 45-year-old West Louisville native, is a seventh grade English teacher. In 2022, Bell ran for the same seat and lost narrowly to incumbent Pam Stevenson, despite the death of his mother at the end of the campaign and the full weight of the Democratic establishment backing his opponent. This time, the seat is open, as Stevenson is vacating it to run for US Senate. Bell is entering the race at a moment of rising momentum for democratic socialist candidates across the country. His campaign draws inspiration from New York Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani's recent upset victory in the New York City mayoral primary, where Mamdani, backed by DSA and a coalition of labor and progressive organizations, defeated a prominent establishment figure on a platform of housing justice and public investment. Bell's political roots run deep—he is the grandson of Louisville civil rights legend Mattie Jones. He currently teaches English at Frederick Law Olmsted Academy North, an all-boys public school in South Louisville where Bell had also served as a JCTA union representative. Bell's platform centers around four key planks: strong schools, safe and affordable housing, and real political power for working people. His proposals include: • Raising the minimum wage and cracking down on wage theft • Funding high-paying jobs in public schools for professional educators to teach children with best practices rather than relying on screens and AI. • Expanding union rights and collective bargaining across the public and private sectors • Fully funding public schools and universal Pre-K • Expanding renter protections, including local control over tenant laws and a pathway to rent control • Repealing Kentucky's anti-trans legislation (SB 150) and restoring abortion rights • A Kentucky Green New Deal that resists data center pollution, reins in LG&E, and pushes for public ownership of utilities • Securing local revenue authority for Louisville and reversing state interference The primary election is coming up on May 19, 2026 and all 100 seats in the Kentucky House will be on the ballot next year.

Sitting in for Jim Schneider, Dalton Windsor continued the tradition of presenting news stories often left uncovered by the mainstream media. Here's a sample of what he presented: --A new poll conducted found that Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, has a significant lead in the current field of five candidates, attaining 50% of the vote regardless of his opponents. --According to one of the advisors from the Democratic Socialists of America, Zohran Mamdani is planning to turn New York City into an alphabet nirvana so that anyone in the U.S. who wants gender affirming care can get it for free. --JihadWatch is reporting that Zohran Mamdani is preparing to enable a new wave of anti-semitic violence. He has proposed that the NYPD should not respond to hate crimes, but instead such cases should be handled by social workers. --Performing abortions in churches? Arguing for dismantling the family unit? Comparing marriage to prostitution? These topics were part of a round-table discussion called, "The Left and the Family" which was part of a socialism conference that took place back in July in Chicago. Dalton provided audio from the event. --President Trump announced that Apple will invest 600 billion dollars in the U.S. over the next four years. --Newly released Census Bureau data shows all income groups in America advanced more during President Trump's first term than they did during the Biden administration. --Cambodia has announced that it is nominating President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after he helped bring the Cambodia/Thailand border conflict to a cease-fire agreement.

Tom and co-host Drew dive deep into the week's most explosive headlines—from Trump's bold moves on the global stage, including nuclear posturing and ultimatums to Russia, to Senator Warren's controversial takes on taxing the rich and the very real repercussions that could have on cities like New York. The conversation pulls no punches, breaking down what happens if billionaires flee, what's truly driving skyrocketing unaffordability, and the alarming collapse of the middle class as shown by a viral marriage-and-homeownership chart. But we don't stop there. You'll hear Tom and Drew tackle wild policy proposals, like calls to abolish the family from the Democratic Socialists of America, and why the culture-versus-politics debate may be the most crucial fight of our era. From threats to free speech in the UK and EU to the chilling implications of mass surveillance, the episode unpacks how global powers manipulate narratives—and why Americans can't take core freedoms for granted. Turning to technology, Tom and Drew geek out on the jaw-dropping pace of AI advancements—from Google's AI-generated 3D worlds to 11Labs' game-changing music tools—and wrestle with the looming asteroid of automation: millions of jobs on the line, and an urgent call for everyone to understand assets and self-reliance.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:   Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is weighing a full occupation of Gaza—but the plan is dividing Israel's leadership. Meanwhile, a retired IDF general says victory is possible in 100 days, if Israel follows a bold, controversial path.   Russian President Vladimir Putin may be ready to halt airstrikes on Ukraine in an attempt to avoid new U.S. sanctions as President Trump's deadline looms.   As peace talks stall, Trump is reportedly preparing for the U.S. to “take over” the Gaza aid effort—signaling a major shift in Washington's approach.   And in today's Back of the Brief: New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani's Democratic Socialists of America faction is under fire for backing a radical pro–North Korea rally that featured chants of “Death to imperialism.”   To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting PDBPremium.com.

In his explosive WBCQ premiere, the freshly resurrected and notorious radio legend Todd Thompson launches a scorched-earth offensive against the ideological virus hollowing out the West from within. This opening salvo dives straight into the heart of the modern insurgency—unmasking the Democratic Socialists of America as a parasitic force infecting the Democratic Party through euphemism, moral camouflage, and Marxist entryism. Drawing from firsthand experience inside the Occupy movement, Todd lays bare how identity has replaced class in the new dialectic, and how victimhood has become the currency of power in a society addicted to narrative performance. Topics include: The DSA as the “Red Tea Party” An introduction the the Red-Green Alliance Ideological religion and the rise of digital priesthoods Weaponized empathy, speechcrime, and the new moral caste system Why corporate America bows to DEI cultism The soft revolution: psychological warfare disguised as virtue And why the path to reclaiming reality begins with ideological disobedience   Broadcast from Southwest Michigan and blasted worldwide via shortwave, this is not just a show. It's the opening shot in an information war. This is The Counter-Insurgency. No soft landings. No apologies. Just fire.   Broadcast Monday night 10-11pm (2-3am Tuesday UTC) on 7.490mHz Streaming: WBCQ The Planet Episodes uploaded immediately after.   More: https://toddzillax.substack.com/ Vids: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjdLR140l--HufeRSAnj91A/?themeRefresh=1

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Recent victories by Democratic Socialists in U.S. cities highlight a dangerous ideological shift. As an Argentine, I see echoes of my own country's past—where socialism's promises led to crisis and hardship. On ‘Truth Be Told with Booker Scott,' Argentines share urgent warnings and lessons learned. Freedom must be defended before history repeats itself in America...

Hank Sheinkopf, President of Sheinkopf Communications, calls into the show to talk about the current state of the Democratic Party, highlighting its fragmentation and the potential takeover by the Democratic Socialists of America, also covering issues like the decline in religious and civic engagements, and the impact of social media on younger generations.

Indianapolis City Councilman Jesse Brown, elected in 2023 and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, joined the show to talk about what democratic socialism means to him, and shared his views on foreign policy, homelessness, and the drug crisis.

In this episode, Breht sits down with Ahmed and Luisa - two members of the Democratic Socialists of America's National Political Committee and leaders within the Springs of Revolution Platform. With the August 2025 DSA Convention approaching, this episode dives into the growing struggle between the organization's revolutionary left and its more moderate, staff-driven tendencies. Representing a strategic coalition of rank-and-file organizers from across the country -including Red Star, Liberation Caucus, MUG, and Emerge - Springs of Revolution is fighting to remake DSA into a bottom-up, anti-imperialist, and internationally rooted revolutionary organization. From prioritizing local chapters and doubling their funding, to instituting anti-Zionist political commitments and unified electoral strategies, their platform directly challenges the right-wing of the organization and sets out a more radical vision for this evolving organization. We discuss what it means to build DSA into a revolutionary mass force, why Palestine is the “moral compass” of the left, the material lessons of recent uprisings like the George Floyd rebellion and Pro-Palestine Campus Uprisings, and how deep organizing is key to seizing future ruptures. If you're a delegate heading into convention, a DSA member on the fence, or an outsider wondering what the internal political battles of the U.S. left really look like, this episode is essential listening.

Jeffery Mays, New York Times reporter covering politics with a focus on New York City Hall, offers political analysis of Andrew Cuomo's campaign interview and talks about what Mamdani's success might mean for the influence of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Political activist and community organizer Joyce Vondrasek shares a deeply personal journey—from coming out in a conservative religious family to becoming a vibrant voice for democratic socialism in Nebraska. Influenced by the moral clarity of the Scout Law and Dr. King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Vondrasek reflects on civil disobedience, political activism, and hope through action.Vondrasek is a political activist, community organizer, and bicycle mechanic with deep roots in Omaha and a lifelong commitment to progressive change. A former Nebraska State Senate candidate and co-founder of the Omaha chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, Vondrasek has organized across cities—from Boston's transit unions to Nebraska's legislative districts. By day, he works for Heartland Bike Share; by night, he is dedicated to political education and grassroots activism. Vondrasek gets around Omaha on a bright orange electric cargo bike, often with his dog Kaiju happily riding along.

Today's Solutions to Violence program features the Civil Rights Attorney Bill Allison. Bill Allison was a cooperative ACLU attorney who began his law career with the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF), an organization closely connected with Carl and Anne Braden. SCEF was a Southern civil rights organization, and so, from the beginning of his career, Allison was involved in civil rights and civil liberties litigation. June 28th, 2025 the Democratic Socialist of American, Louisville Chapter, awarded Bill Allison with a life time achievement award for his service involving civil rights, peace and Justice. States Bill Allison “All of the different freedom efforts that we take for granted today came out of the struggle against segregation that had been going on for a long time.”

First up, Ralph welcomes the co-founders of Doctors Against Genocide, Dr. Karameh Hawash-Kuemmerle and Dr. Nidal Jboor, to discuss their dedication to succeeding where global governments have failed in confronting genocide—particularly the acute genocide in Gaza. Then, Ralph speaks to Marcus Sims, who turns felled and fallen trees into sustainable-harvested lumber with his company Treincarnation. Finally, Ralph has co-written an open letter to Barack Obama, urging him to step up and do his part to fight against Donald Trump.Dr. Karameh Hawash-Kuemmerle is a clinical pediatric neurologist who specializes in traumatic brain injury and epilepsy at Boston Children's Hospital. Dr. Nidal Jboor is a doctor of internal medicine and geriatrics working in Michigan. They are co-founders of Doctors Against Genocide.We think: as American people, we are good people. We don't stand for these crimes. We don't accept that any child, any mother, any father, any elderly in the world will be starved to death—no matter where they are, no matter who they are, no matter who is committing this crime. And we are especially appalled to know that all these crimes are being done in our name, with our tax money. They are cutting the funding from our basic programs here, from our neighborhoods, to send more billions to mass slaughter children. So that's why we're going to DC. We're going to talk to the people who are enabling this. We think they already failed their constituents, they failed their country, they are putting our country on the wrong side of history.Dr. Nidal JboorAnyone who did not call this a genocide yet—and did not demand full accountability for genocide, both for the United States and for Israel—is enabling and allowing this crime to continue further.Dr. Nidal JboorWe are committed to having our eyes open whenever and wherever there is a genocide or there are war crimes, crimes against humanity—no matter who commits them. And it's very important for us to stand with the victims, with the community that is suffering, and never take the side or give a platform for the perpetrators.Dr. Karameh KuemmerleOur focus on the situation in Gaza comes from the simple fact that our country is complicit. And because of that, we actually have the moral obligation and the practical obligation to speak up. So it is not because we think that other genocides are not happening or are not important. We actually think every genocide should never happen. It's anti-human to commit genocide. And we always ask our colleagues to come to us to help uplift the voices of the communities of genocide and hopefully we will have more bandwidth to do a lot more. But the situation in Gaza is unique because there is almost a collusion of all these powerful players to complete this genocide in Gaza and basically oppress every resistance to it. There are many things that make what is happening in Gaza unique—for example, the inability to leave, using food as a weapon, having complete siege on the population, having a major superpower supported by another major superpower bombing a population of two million people in a very small area, constantly, nonstop for two years.Dr. Karameh KuemmerleAll professions have their own specialized civic duties…And I want to tell the listeners that the people who are peace-loving all over the world vastly outnumber, vastly outnumber the warmongers and the cruel and vicious interests that have taken advantage of the situation.Ralph NaderMarcus Sims is the owner of Treincarnation, which creates sustainably-harvested lumber and builds custom furniture from trees felled by storms or removed to make way for development.I think there's a lot of support for what I'm doing, but my work is contrasted to the industrial lumber system, which is “chop them down and cut them up,” a lot of it done by huge machines. So it takes a lot more attention and care to do the kind of work that I'm doing. And of course the finances—as you know, finances play a big part in any kind of industry and how they can manage to make money. So I'm certainly making a living, a good living with what I'm doing. I don't know exactly how we can get from the current system into one that was probably used in the past, where the intelligence of human beings is more engaged and we're not slaves to industrial processes.Marcus SimsNews 7/25/25* This week, Israel shelled the Holy Family Church in Gaza. During the last months of his life, Pope Francis was in constant communication with this church and its pastor, Father Gabriel Romanelli, calling them every single night. Three people were killed in this strike and Father Romanelli was injured, as were other congregants. In a speech after the strike, Pope Leo called for an immediate ceasefire and decried the “barbarity of war,” Reuters reports. He added, "I appeal to the international community to observe humanitarian law and respect the obligation to protect civilians as well as the prohibition of collective punishment, of indiscriminate use of force and forced displacement of the population.” According to the National Catholic Reporter, Pope Leo XIV spoke with Palestinian president Mahmood Abbas following this attack and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called to “express Israel's regret for what he called an accidental attack.”2. In Belgium, the Hind Rajab Foundation – named for the five-year-old girl in Gaza killed along with six of her family members and the paramedics coming to her rescue – reports, “Belgian federal police have arrested and interrogated two Israeli soldiers credibly accused of war crimes in Gaza. The action came in response to an urgent legal complaint filed by the Hind Rajab Foundation and the Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) earlier this week.” The soldiers, who had come to Belgium to attend the Tomorrowland music festival were, “formally interrogated and released. The Belgian Federal Prosecutor's Office has confirmed that a criminal investigation is now underway.”3. In a shameful, undemocratic move, the Executive Committee of the National Education Association has voted to reject the member-approved resolution to boycott materials promulgated by the ADL, Axios reports. This helps keep the ADL entrenched as the arbiter of what is and is not antisemitism, a charge they have weaponized and used as a cudgel again and again to silence any criticism of the state of Israel.4. In New York, disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo continues to campaign in his increasingly long-shot independent bid for Mayor of New York City. Recently, Cuomo held a campaign breakfast attended by 450 at the Hampton Synagogue, where he said, “I would wager that in the primary, more than 50% of the Jewish people voted for Mamdani.” If true, this would be a stunning victory not only for Zohran himself but for the pro-Palestine movement, which has been maligned in bad faith as antisemitic. Cuomo added that many younger Jewish voters are, “pro-Palestinian, and they don't consider it being anti-Israel.” This from the Forward.5. Another intra-ethnic cleavage is emerging among voters in New York City – this time, Italian-Americans. While Mamdani visited Uganda, the country of his birth, anti-Zohran Italians rallied in front of his Assembly district office in Queens. The New York Times reports this protest, “ostensibly led by the Italian American Civil Rights League, a group that took its name from but had no apparent ties to a defunct organization founded by [Mafia boss] Joseph A. Colombo Sr,...until recently, when Mr. Colombo's grandson, Anthony E. Colombo Jr….joined the group's board in May.” As the Times notes, this protest was held in response to a, “recently resurfaced social media photo from 2020 showing Mr. Mamdani giving the middle finger to a Columbus statue.” However, a large group of pro-Zohran Italian-American counterprotestors rallied across the street, carrying signs that read “Paisans for Zohran!” and “You Eat Jar Sauce!”6. In Minneapolis, many are drawing parallels between Mamdani and insurgent Democratic Socialist candidate Omar Fateh, who won the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party's endorsement for the mayoralty over incumbent Jacob Frey. Fateh, a state senator, won “at least 60% of the Minneapolis DFL delegate vote Saturday…in the party's first endorsement of a mayoral candidate in 16 years,” per the Minnesota Star Tribune. This endorsement gives Fateh a major boost in his campaign and indicates that the Zohran phenomenon is not confined to New York City.7. Last week, Paramount – one of the largest media conglomerates and parent company of CBS – canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert less than 48 hours after Colbert called CBS News's $16 million settlement with Trump a, “big fat bribe,” implying it would help curry favor with the administration regarding the proposed merger between Paramount and Skydance. Incensed, the Writers Guild of America East issued a statement calling on New York State Attorney General Letitia James, to, “launch an investigation into potential wrongdoing at Paramount…[and for]…our elected leaders to hold those responsible to account…demand answers about why this beloved program was canceled and to assure the public that Colbert and his writers were not censored due to their views or the whims of the President.”8. At the same time, CNN reports Paramount's “owner-in-waiting,” David Ellison is in talks to acquire Bari Weiss's publication The Free Press. According to the Financial Times, Weiss is seeking over $200 million for the purchase. However, this goes further than a potential acquisition. Puck reports that if brought in, Weiss would serve as an “ideological guide” for CBS News. This, paired with the recent piece in the Hollywood Reporter stating that Skydance “promised to eliminate all diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives,” at Paramount, gives a fuller picture of the “anti-woke” direction CBS would take under the new leadership. With news Thursday that federal regulators have approved the merger, it seems fair to conclude that these moves mollified the president.9. Turning to Latin America, AP reports the U.S., Venezuela and El Salvador have successfully concluded an intricate tripartite prisoner exchange. This deal includes the release of 10 Americans jailed in Venezuela and 252 Venezuelans held in El Salvador's notorious and dystopian CECOT prison complex. The freed Americans include some who were accused of participating in a U.S.-backed coup attempt against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in 2024 and one who was convicted of a triple homicide in Madrid, according to EL PAÍS. All parties seem satisfied with this agreement, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying “Every wrongfully detained American in Venezuela is now free and back in our homeland,” while President Maduro pronounced the occasion “a day of blessings and good news…the perfect day for Venezuela.”10. Finally, prominent British tech writer Ed Zitron is out with “The Hater's Guide To The AI Bubble.” In this piece, Zitron – a noted critic of AI writ large – details tech companies' expenditures on AI as compared to the revenues, and the numbers are stark. Microsoft has reaped $13 billion, with $10 billion from OpenAI, sold at “a heavily discounted rate that essentially only covers costs for operating the servers," while expenditures total $80 billion. Amazon AI revenues In 2025 amount to $5 billion, while capital expenditures total $105 billion. Google AI revenue stands at $7.7 billion, with capital expenditures standing at $75 billion. Meta AI revenue in 2025 is a paltry $2-3 billion. Their capital expenditures: $72 billion. Perhaps most deliciously, while Tesla has spent around $11 billion on AI in 2025, the company “Does Not Appear To Make Money From Generative AI” at all. Hopefully these numbers serve as a wakeup call for companies to stop dumping money down the AI drain, since clearly the immense adverse impact on the environment is not dissuading them.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg joins the Mo News Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation just months after leaving the Biden administration, to talk politics, democracy, aviation, fatherhood—and his latest thinking on a potential 2028 presidential run. Buttigieg weighs in on Trump's second term, his budget cuts, the flood of executive orders, and how worried he is about the state of American democracy. Why he thinks it is not a certainty that Democrats may be able to win the White House back in the coming years. He also shares what he's learned from his recent podcast tour (including stops popular on the right), what Democrats keep missing in their message, and his perspective on Trump's war on institutions like the media, universities, and major law firms. We dig into the Democratic Party's struggles with young and working-class voters, the rise of Democratic Socialists, and a generational shift to the right already underway. Buttigieg also reflects on his time in the Biden administration—including what he observed about Biden's cognitive state, whether he should've run for reelection, and whether Buttigieg wishes he said something earlier. Plus, we press him on his tenure as Transportation Secretary—from airline safety to the air traffic controller shortage. And, we look ahead at his growing alarm over AI's potential to destabilize American society. Finally, we discuss 2028 election plans: What he's weighing, what it would take to run again, and whether America is ready for another Buttigieg campaign.

We begin on a positive note by welcoming a “doer,” citizen extraordinaire, Jon Merryman, who couldn't stand the trash, especially old tires, being dumped in his neighborhood. So, he took it upon himself to clean it up and has now expanded his efforts across the country. Then co-president of Public Citizen, Robert Weissman, joins us to explain how spending in the recent bill passed by the Republican controlled Congress prioritizes the Pentagon and deportation enforcement at the expense of the social safety net, essentially trading life for death.Jon Merryman was a software designer at Lockheed Martin, who after retiring found his true calling, cleaning up trash in every county in America.When I first started looking at the environment next to my place of work, one of the things I did uncover was tires. And they were definitely there from the '20s, the '30s, and the '40s, they've been there for decades. And then just after a while, the soil and the erosion just covers them up. And you just discover them, and you realize this has been going on forever.Jon MerrymanNature is innocent. It really doesn't deserve what we've given it. And I feel like someone's got to step up to undo what we've done.Jon MerrymanRobert Weissman is a staunch public interest advocate and activist, as well as an expert on a wide variety of issues ranging from corporate accountability and government transparency to trade and globalization, to economic and regulatory policy. As the Co-President of Public Citizen, he has spearheaded the effort to loosen the chokehold corporations, and the wealthy have over our democracy.The best estimates are that the loss of insurance and measures in this bill will cost 40,000 lives every year. Not once. Every year.Robert Weissman co-president of Public Citizen on the Budget BillPeople understand there's a rigged system. They understand that generally. They understand that with healthcare. But if you (the Democrats) don't name the health insurance companies as an enemy, as a barrier towards moving forward. You don't say United Health; you don't go after a Big Pharma, which is probably the most despised health sector in the economy, people don't think you're serious. And partially it's because you're not.Robert WeissmanNews 7/11/251. This week, the Financial Times published a stunning story showing the Tony Blair Institute – founded by the former New Labour British Prime Minister and Iraq War accomplice Tony Blair – “participated” in a project to “reimagine Gaza as a thriving trading hub.” This project would include a “Trump Riviera” and an “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone”. To accomplish this, the investors would pay half a million Palestinians to leave Gaza to open the enclave up for development – and that is just the tip of the harebrained iceberg. This scheme would also involve creating “artificial islands off the coast akin to those in Dubai, blockchain-based trade initiatives…and low-tax ‘special economic zones'.” The development of this plot is somewhat shadowy. The FT story names a, “group of Israeli businessmen…including tech investor Liran Tancman and venture capitalist Michael Eisenberg,” who helped establish the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in February 2025. GHF has been accused of using supposed aid distribution sites as “death traps,” per France 24. Boston Consulting Group, also named in the FT story, strongly disavowed the project, as did the Tony Blair Institute.2. In more positive news related to Gaza, the National Education Association – the largest labor union in the United States – voted this week to sever ties with the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL, once an important group safeguarding the civil rights and wellbeing of American Jews, has completely abandoned its historic mission and has instead devoted its considerable resources to trying to crush the anti-Zionist movement. The NEA passed a resolution stating that the NEA “will not use, endorse, or publicize materials from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), such as its curricular materials or statistics,” because, “Despite its reputation as a civil rights organization, the ADL is not the social justice educational partner it claims to be.” Labor Notes writes that the ADL “has been a ubiquitous presence in U.S. schools for forty years, pushing curriculum, direct programming, and teacher training into K-12 schools and increasingly into universities.” One NEA delegate, Stephen Siegel, said from the assembly floor, “Allowing the ADL to determine what constitutes antisemitism would be like allowing the fossil fuel industry to determine what constitutes climate change.”3. Another major labor story from this week concerns sanitation workers in Philadelphia. According to the Delaware News Journal, AFSCME District Council 33 has reached a deal with the city to raise wages for their 9,000 workers by 9% over three years. The union went on strike July 1st, resulting in, “massive piles of trash piling up on city streets and around trash drop-off sites designated by the city,” and “changes to the city's annual Fourth of July concert with headliner LL Cool J and city native Jazmine Sullivan both dropping out,” in solidarity with the striking workers, per WHYY. The deal reached is a major compromise for the union, which was seeking a 32% total pay increase, but they held off on an extended trash pickup strike equivalent to 1986 strike, which went on for three weeks and left 45,000 tons of rotting garbage in the streets, per ABC.4. Yet another labor story brings us to New York City. ABC7 reports the United Federation of Teachers has endorsed Democratic Socialist – and Democratic Party nominee – Zohran Mamdani for mayor. This report notes “UFT is the city's second largest union…[with] 200,000 members.” Announcing the endorsement, UFT President Michael Mulgrew stated, “This is a real crisis and it's a moment for our city, and our city is starting to speak out very loudly…The voters are saying the same thing, 'enough is enough.' The income gap disparity is above…that which we saw during the Gilded Age." All eyes now turn to District Council 37, which ABC7 notes “endorsed Council speaker Adrienne Adams in the primary and has yet to endorse in the general election.”5. The margin of Mamdani's victory, meanwhile, continues to grow as the Board of Elections updates its ranked choice voting tallies. According to the conservative New York Post, Zohran has “won more votes than any other mayoral candidate in New York City primary election history.” Mamdani can now boast having won over 565,000 votes after 102,000 votes were transferred from other candidates. Not only that, “Mamdani's totals are expected to grow as…a small percent of ballots are still being counted.”6. Meanwhile, scandal-ridden incumbent New York City Mayor Eric Adams has yet another scandal on his hands. The New York Daily News reports, “Four high-ranking former NYPD chiefs are suing Mayor Adams, claiming they were forced to retire from the department after complaining that his ‘unqualified' friends were being placed in prestigious police positions, sometimes after allegedly bribing their way into the jobs.” Former Police Commissioner Edward Caban, who was already forced to resign in disgrace amidst a federal corruption investigation, features prominently in this new lawsuit. Among other things, Caban is alleged to have been “selling promotions” to cops for up to $15,000. Adams is running for reelection as an independent, but trails Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani and disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo.7. Turning to the federal government, as the U.S. disinvests in science and technology, a new report published in the Financial Times finds that, “Almost three-quarters of all solar and wind power projects being built globally are in China.” According to the data, gathered by Global Energy Monitor, “China is building 510 gigawatts of utility-scale solar and wind projects… [out of] 689GW under construction globally.” As this report notes, one gigawatt can potentially supply electricity for about one million homes. This report goes on to say that, “China is expected to add at least 246.5GW of solar and 97.7GW of wind this year,” on top of the “1.5 terawatts of solar and wind power capacity up and running as of the end of March.” In the first quarter of 2025, solar and wind accounted for 22.5% of China's total electricity consumption; in 2023, solar and wind accounted for around 14% of electricity consumption in the United States, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.8. Developments this week put two key rules promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission under former Chair Lina Khan in jeopardy. First and worse, NPR reports the Republican-controlled FTC is abandoning a rule which would have banned non-compete clauses in employment contracts. These anti-worker provisions “trap workers and depress wages,” according to Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, who has introduced legislation to ban them by statute. Perhaps more irritatingly however, Reuters reports the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis has blocked the so-called “click to cancel” rule just days before it was set to take effect. This rule would have, “required retailers, gyms and other businesses to provide cancellation methods for subscriptions, auto-renewals and free trials that convert to paid memberships that are ‘at least as easy to use' as the sign up process.” A coalition of corporate interests sued to block the rule, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a trade group representing major cable and internet providers such as Charter Communications, Comcast and Cox Communications along with media companies like Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery. Lina Khan decried “Firms…making people jump through endless hoops just to cancel a subscription, trapping Americans in needless bureaucracy and wasting their time & money.”9. In another betrayal of consumers, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to break promises and speak out of both sides of his mouth. A new report in NPR documents RFK Jr. speaking at a conference in April, where he “spoke about the health effects of exposure to harmful chemicals in our food, air and water…[and] cited recent research on microplastics from researchers in Oregon, finding these tiny particles had shown up in 99% of the seafood they sampled.” Yet Susanne Brander, the author of the study, had gotten word just an hour earlier that “a federal grant she'd relied on to fund her research for years…was being terminated.” Brander is quoted saying "It feels like they are promoting the field while ripping out the foundation." Ripping out the foundation of this research is felt acutely, as “regulators are weakening safeguards that limit pollution and other toxic chemicals.” So Mr. Secretary, which is more important – stopping the proliferation of microplastics or slashing funding for the very scientists studying the issue?10. Finally, in Los Angeles masked federal troops are marauding through the streets on horseback, sowing terror through immigrant communities, per the New York Times. President Trump mobilized approximately 4,000 National Guard members – putting them under federal control – alongside 700 Marines in response to protests against immigration raids in June. As the Times notes, “It has been more than three weeks since the last major demonstration in downtown Los Angeles,” but the federal forces have not been demobilized. While some have dismissed the shows of force as nothing more than stunts designed to fire up the president's base, Gregory Bovino, a Customs and Border Protection chief in Southern California told Fox News “[LA] Better get used to us now, cause this is going to be normal very soon.” As LA Mayor Karen Bass put it, “What I saw…looked like a city under siege, under armed occupation…It's the way a city looks before a coup.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Zohran Mamdani won New York City's Democratic mayoral primary. He's a self-declared Democratic Socialist with a populist's platform. That's made some Democrats across the country nervous. Is populism the party's path forward?

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is currently trailing in polls ahead of the November mayoral race — but he tells Mo News that the race has only just started.  In an interview with Mosheh, Adams said he's focused on spreading his message about his record and administration's wins — including on the economy and public safety — and registering 1 million new voters. Mosheh asks Adams how he plans to overcome his dismal favorability ratings with New Yorkers, while also pressing him on his five-count criminal indictment. It made him the first New York City mayor to be indicted, but was dropped by the Trump Justice Department in February. They discuss his relationship with Trump and what actually went down earlier this year.  Adams also addresses a number of the promises made by Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani — the 33 year-old Democratic Socialist who ran on promises of free childcare, free buses, rent freezes, and a sweeping social justice and tax agenda.  Adams has some blunt words in this interview for former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who lost to Mamdani in the Democratic primary but is still considering an independent run. A Mamdani victory is all but guaranteed if both Adams and Cuomo remain in and split the centrist vote.  Adams also discussed his origin story — including how getting beaten up by a police officer as a teen led him to join the NYPD— and played a round of rapid-fire questions on what he loves most about New York.

Susan Kang, associate professor of political science at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a commentator on state on local politics, offers analysis of how the Democratic Socialists of America's New York chapter figured into Zohran Mamdani's win in the Democratic mayoral primary, and how DSA will be involved in the general election.

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 Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. PC Pres Corps Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into the explosive fallout from a leaked intelligence report questioning the effectiveness of a recent U.S. military strike on Teran. Hosts Clay and Buck, alongside commentary from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, launch a full-throated defense of the mission and President Donald Trump’s leadership, while sharply criticizing the mainstream media for what they describe as politically motivated reporting. The hour opens with a breakdown of the CNN and New York Times leaks, which suggested the strike may have failed. Buck Sexton, drawing on his intelligence background, explains the complexities of identifying leakers and the dangers of politicizing classified information. The hosts argue that the leak was a deliberate attempt by the “deep state” to undermine President Trump’s credibility and military success. Pete Hegseth’s fiery Pentagon press conference is a focal point, where he accuses the press corps of rooting against Trump and downplaying the bravery and precision of U.S. pilots. The segment includes a viral moment where Hegseth is questioned for not explicitly acknowledging female pilots, prompting a broader discussion on gender politics in the military and media. A former female military pilot calls in to express support for Hegseth, dismissing the controversy as media-driven nitpicking. Why What Happens in NY Matters Everywhere the political upheaval surrounding New York City's mayoral race, highlighting the rise of Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani. Clay and Buck analyze the implications of Mamdani's nomination, emphasizing how his progressive platform—backed by figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders—signals a broader shift within the Democratic Party. They explore the national ramifications of this political momentum, warning that what happens in New York could soon influence Democrat-led cities across the country. The hosts critique Mamdani's proposals, including an 800% increase in funding for hate crime prevention and his assertion that the criminal justice system is inherently racist. They argue these initiatives are more about left-wing indoctrination than effective governance. The conversation also touches on Mamdani's savvy use of social media and his appeal to younger voters, many of whom are financially supported by their parents and drawn to socialism despite benefiting from capitalism. Local Story with National Reach Eric Adams, the current NYC mayor, is portrayed as a potential moderate counterweight, possibly running as an independent. The show discusses the strategic challenges Adams faces, especially if former Governor Andrew Cuomo enters the race, potentially splitting the anti-Mamdani vote. The hosts also examine the fractured state of the Democratic Party, debating whether it can still suppress far-left candidates or if it will continue to “double down on crazy.” President Donald Trump is referenced as a stabilizing force, particularly in contrast to the chaos the hosts associate with progressive policies. They highlight the effectiveness of Trump-era immigration enforcement, with praise for figures like Tom Homan and Stephen Miller, and criticize sanctuary city policies that undermine federal law enforcement. The hour concludes with a broader cultural critique, linking the rise of socialism to generational entitlement and a rejection of meritocracy. The hosts argue that capitalism’s success has ironically enabled the luxury of anti-capitalist sentiment, particularly among younger, affluent urban voters. Do You Buy This Story? Jamaal Bowman's questionable story about being yelled at by a white dude in Yonkers, NY. Media bias and the decline of CNN’s credibility. Jake Tapper lectures us on the purpose of journalism. Clay and Buck point out that CNN has become a partisan outlet, losing its former status as a trusted news source. They discuss whether the network is salvageable and propose that only a radical overhaul—possibly led by a figure like Megyn Kelly—could restore its relevance. The show also explores internal divisions within the Democratic Party, sparked by Chris Cuomo’s criticism of the party’s far-left wing, including figures like AOC and Bernie Sanders. The hosts argue that the Democratic Party is increasingly dominated by anti-capitalist, radical progressive ideologies, which they claim alienate moderate voters and threaten national unity. Further discussion includes the media’s treatment of conservatives, the legacy of Trumpism, and the broad coalition President Trump has built, including former Democrats like Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. The hosts highlight how Trump’s second term is marked by a more strategic and media-savvy administration.
