Liz Peek analyzes the resilience of the U.S. economy, where strong consumer spending and business optimism persist despite high oil prices and stagnant job growth. While the Fed weighs interest rate hikes to curb inflation, a "wealth effect" from a robust stock market continues to buoy higher-end consumers. Politically, a "civil war" is brewing within the Democratic Party as far-left candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) challenge the establishment in key swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin. These ideological divisions raise significant questions regarding the electability of progressive candidates in the upcoming general elections. (3)

TABLE OF CONTENTS, JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-11-2-26Mary Kissel discusses North Korea's transformation into a critical military supplier for Russia's war in Ukraine, providing ballistic missiles and thousands of combat troops. This collaboration integrates Pyongyang into an "axis of tyranny" alongside Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran to challenge the West and NATO. Kissel notes that the Kim regime's involvement stems from a desire for cash, a need to demonstrate missile capabilities, and a shared goal of weakening U.S.global influence. This development highlights the long-term failure of U.S. diplomacy to prevent North Korean nuclear proliferation and serves as a warning regarding Iran. (1)Jonathan Schanzer addresses the mysterious absence of Iran's Supreme Leader and the resulting tightening grip of the IRGC on the government. The regime is characterized as sclerotic, relying on aging hardliners with "blood on their hands" to maintain power. Meanwhile, the Houthis have escalated attacks in the Red Sea, targeting Saudi infrastructure and shipping ports like Mocha and Jazan. Schanzer argues this is a strategic move by Iran to shut down trade on both sides of the Arabian Peninsula, exploiting a lack of unity between competitive regional powers like Saudi Arabia and the UAE. (2)Liz Peek analyzes the surprisingly vigorous U.S. economy, where consumer spending and small business optimism remain high despite elevated oil prices and stagnant job growth. While the Fed weighs interest rate hikes to curb inflation, a "wealth effect" from the stock market continues to buoy the economy. Politically, Peek highlights a "civil war" within the Democratic Party, where "revolutionary" candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are challenging the establishment in key swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin. These far-left candidates struggle with electability among moderate voters in general elections. (3)Joseph Sternberg observes that the current midterm cycle has become an "election about nothing," with both parties failing to articulate clear policy agendas. He argues that Congress has outsourced its constitutional authority to the executive branch and regulatory agencies, losing the habit of legislating. This vacuum is being filled by "celebrity influencers" from the MAGA and DSA factions who prioritize social media attention over governing. Consequently, critical issues like Social Security reform and fiscal reality are being ignored until an inevitable crisis forces congressional action. (4)Gregory Copley evaluates the new "Mecca Joint Defense Agreement" between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, which aims to counter Iranian influence despite mutual distrust among the members. The discussion also explores the massive transformation of global trade routes, including China's "Ice Silk Road" through the Arctic and Russia's International North-South Transport Corridor. Copley notes that these routes aim to bypass vulnerable maritime choke points like the Suez Canal and the Strait of Hormuz. Finally, he provides a report on King Charles III's summer activities and public engagements in Scotland. (5)Veronique de Rugy critiques the Trump administration's shift toward "socialism on the right," evidenced by the government taking ownership stakes in private companies like Intel. Often justified by national security, these interventions mirror European state-owned enterprise models that historically burden taxpayers and distort market competition. De Rugy argues that such moves make private companies hostage to government dictates, such as labor or diversity requirements. By adopting policies championed by far-left senators like Bernie Sanders, the administration risks damaging long-term economic efficiency and creating a "state enterprise" system similar to China's. (6)Ahmad Sharawi explains that Russia has secured its military foothold in Syria through a new memorandum of understanding with the Al-Shara government. Russia will maintain access to vital maritime and aerial bases for its operations in the Mediterranean and Africa, while Syria remains dependent on Russian grain and energy. Sharawi notes that the U.S. appears to be losing diplomatic leverage by removing sanctions without obtaining counterterrorism concessions or progress in neutralizing ISIS. The new Syrian administration is successfully playing major powers against each other to maintain domestic stability and maximize international benefits. (7)Samuel Ben-Ur and Bill Roggio discuss the "Board of Peace" plan for post-war Gaza, which proposes a civilian Palestinian government overseen by international forces. A significant impasse remains: Israel refuses to withdraw until Hamas is disarmed, while Hamas has endorsed the plan, likely hoping its allies—Turkey and Qatar—will oversee the verification process. The discussion reveals that Gaza's tunnel network is more extensive than previously believed, with only 40–50% cleared after years of war. One proposed solution to prevent Hamas from regrouping is filling the remaining tunnels with cement. (8)Thaddeus McCotter analyzes the Michigan Senate race between Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed, a Rhodes Scholar supported by the far-left DSA. El-Sayed's primary victory over the Democratic establishment highlights the growing influence of "woke" ideology in college towns. While El-Sayed attempts to pivot to the center for the general election, his lack of a public voting record makes his true agenda difficult to pin down. McCotter suggests the race will test whether voters will reject the "Jacobin" manifestations of cancel culture and extreme progressive policies in favor of a more traditional candidate. (9)All nine files this time, with Gregory Copley in place at (5).

It's primary night in America, and once again the Democratic Party's progressive wing could score significant gains.

Wisconsin Democrats narrowly chose Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley over Democratic Socialist state representative Francesca Hong in the gubernatorial primary, 39.8 percent to 39.4 percent. It's close enough that this might be headed to a recount, but it doesn't appear that Hong won. Crowley, who was endorsed by Governor Tony Evers, will face Trump-endorsed Republican representative Tom Tiffany. The result halted the progressive left's recent primary momentum, but it still showed its strength in a battleground state.What you're probably going to hear about is the polling. After the polls wildly overestimated Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, the final State Navigate poll had Hong at 44 percent and Crowley at 22 percent — a 22-point Hong lead. Instead, Crowley won by 0.4 percent. That's a 22.4-point miss on the margin. Jeez Louise. Hong's vote share wasn't wildly off; the poll totally underestimated Crowley. The question is why these polls keep overrepresenting progressive-leaning voters.One theory is that more polls are using online surveys. The old problem with landline calls was that they overrepresented boomers because nobody under 60 had a landline. Nobody answers an unfamiliar number on a cellphone, so that leaves online responses, which might overrepresent progressives. It's also worth noting that the DSA endorsed Hong, but Bernie Sanders and AOC didn't. Pure DSA play isn't good enough to get you over the hump, even in a Democratic primary. Bernie and AOC provide some wiggle room away from the DSA's baggage.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

Flanagan overcame a major spending disadvantage after attacking Craig's immigration record, particularly her 2025 vote expanding ICE authority. Republicans nominated former NFL reporter Michele Tafoya, but barring huge changes in the race, Flanagan is going to be Minnesota's next senator. In the governor's race, Amy Klobuchar easily secured the Democratic nomination, while state House speaker Lisa Demuth defeated Trump-backed My Pillow founder Mike Lindell. Please raise your combs in celebration.South Carolina's emergency election to replace Lindsey Graham is headed to an August 25 runoff between interim senator Darlene Graham and Representative Ralph Norman. Graham, Lindsey's sister and Trump's endorsed candidate, finished first with 32.7 percent. Norman took the second spot with 24.6 percent, narrowly eliminating Representative Russell Fry. The vote was pretty split, and I don't know whether Darlene has the juice to keep Norman off. A lot of Republicans were already angry that she decided to seek the seat permanently instead of serving as a placeholder. Ralph Norman has a real shot. The kiss of death for Darlene would be the double endorsement — a double Trump endorsement.Former Hartford mayor Luke Bronin also defeated 14-term Democratic representative John Larson, 54 percent to 33 percent. Larson, 78, became the seventh House Democrat defeated in a primary this cycle, while Governor Ned Lamont won renomination. In Alabama, Trump-endorsed Republican Rhett Marques advanced to face Democratic representative Shomari Figures in the redrawn Second District, where the Black voting-age population was reduced from 48 percent to 40 percent.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:05:42 - Tuesday Primary Results00:16:18 - Exploring Disney's America with Andrew Heaton01:19:36 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

   We had some more wild communist primaries Tuesday night and Hong got the Gong in Wisconsin... unless there is a recount.  We'll go over the winners and losers as former sportscaster Michelle Tafoya cruises for the GOP in Minnesota.    A new ad popping up everywhere just blasts Pastor Adam Hamilton for supporting BLM, repenting because he's white and having his church pay for draq queen story hour.  Oh, this is so good.    The Air Force One report that President Trump was not on the plane as it left Turkey last month has taken a predictable turn.  The left wing media are upset they were not told what was going on.  Of course it's about them.    Our little pup Cabo was adopted  through www.pawsitivetailskc.org ... a group that just won a national award from a famous country singer!    Rashee Rice meets with the media and I'm ready to give him one more shot this year.  I'll explain why.  Indiana's WNBA coach has a total meltdown after she failed to support her own player.   A High School football player has a dangerous problem with his helmet.  I had lunch with a Rock N Roll Hall of Famer Tuesday and something happened in a golf tourney at Trump's course nobody has ever seen before.

Big news in the BYU Athletics front office. KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper breaks down the hiring of Marc Hill as BYU's new deputy athletic director. Hill arrives in Provo after spending 27 years at the University of Kentucky, where he served as deputy director of athletics since 2019 and was the football sport administrator since 2012. Hill was widely considered the frontrunner to succeed longtime Kentucky AD Mitch Barnhart before the school went with an external hire in J Batt. At Kentucky, Hill helped spearhead major facility projects, including a $130 million football stadium renovation, a $49 million baseball stadium, and a $19 million soccer/softball complex. BYU AD Brian Santiago called Hill "a great fit" who brings "a wealth of experience from the highest level of collegiate athletics." BYU advancement VP Keith Vorkink added that Hill's "experience, leadership and alignment with BYU's values" make him an excellent addition. This hire comes just days after the athletic department had to publicly shut down false rumors about Santiago's job status. Mitch discusses what Hill's arrival means for BYU's administrative infrastructure, Kalani Sitake's desire for additional support at the top, and how this fits into the bigger picture of the program's growth in the Big 12. Also on today's episode, Mitch sits down with BYU football outside linebackers coach Chad Kauha'aha'a. The veteran defensive coach, a former Utah defensive lineman, was promoted from senior analyst to outside linebackers coach in February after spending two seasons behind the scenes on Kalani Sitake's staff. Kauha'aha'a brings over two decades of coaching experience at programs including USC, UCLA, Wisconsin, Utah, Oregon State, Boise State, UNLV, Utah State, and Weber State. He and Sitake have a long coaching history together, dating back to their time on the same staff at Oregon State and at Utah. In the interview, Coach Kauha'aha'a discusses developing BYU's edge rushers heading into 2026, what he's seen from his outside linebackers group through fall camp, and what it means to be coaching on the field after two years as an analyst.

Republicans amp up the fear-mongering on "communism" as Democrats try to move past some of their nominees' most controversial past statements. In the words of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "Woke 1 was crazy." Jon and Lovett discuss how Democrats can pivot, today's Democratic primaries in Wisconsin and Minnesota, Trump's desperation to end the war he started, and his newest executive order on vaccines. They also react to the Senate Republicans' YOLO caucus surrendering on Todd Blanche's confirmation, Jesse Watters's disdain for the WNBA, and Hunter Biden's appearance on Tucker Carlson's show. Then, Lovett is joined by Montana congressional candidate and smokejumper Sam Forstag to discuss why he's running for office, the impact of the DOGE cuts, the housing crisis in his state, and more.Hate listening to ads?

How much of an appetite do voters have for non-mainstream candidates going into the midterm elections? Primary races in six states today will offer clues.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, political correctness is running amok in the WNBA. There are two issues facing the WNBA: transgender athletes and racism. A small fraction of athletes - transgenders - are threatening to destroy opportunities for biological women and girls. This is not a civil rights issue. Women have fought for 50 years for equality in sports. That doesn't mean men and women are the same. It means women and girls have the opportunity to flourish in athletics. It's time to make a decision: will a relatively handful of individuals destroy the purpose of a women's sports league? Or will the overwhelmingly biological female athletes compete on a level playing field. The WNBA is a business and the hierarchy and players should treat it as such. The only color that should matter is the color of money: green. Whether it's the men's NBA or the WNBA, people want to see the best athletes, regardless of color. Then, President Trump called out the democratic socialist and jihadist candidates for their radicalism and craziness. They want to eliminate the Senate, Supreme Court, police, military, etc. No other president would talk this way. Also, AOC says she has frozen her eggs. Why the need to announce it? Some things you keep private. She also talked about Francesca Hong, a far-left DSA running for governor of Wisconsin. AOC hedged her bet, saying all politics are local, woke one was crazy she says, and we have to assess what a candidate is saying now. AOC and other leading Democrats aren't endorsing Hong because they think she won't win and want to keep losses to a minimum. As far as Abdul El-Sayed, she's excited, saying it's a time of renewal for the Democratic party. Then, Bernie Sanders knows Hong can't win in Wisconsin. He was asked why he doesn't endorse her if her positions line up with his and he fell back on the old, tired trope: tax the rich.  El-Sayed says he differs with Bernie on capitalism, saying we live under "corporatism." El-Sayed is a jihadist, an Islamist, and a bald-faced liar. Finally, in defense of AIPAC: El-Sayed complained they plan to spend $3.8 million against him next week. The Dems are making AIPAC - and Israel - the defining issues of the midterm elections. El-Sayed says the money the U.S. sends to Israel should be spent here on healthcare, etc. Facts: the U.S. spent $7 Trillion last year. Israel received $3.8 billion...in other words, five one-hundredths of 1% of total federal spending. In return, the U.S. gets an indispensable ally. AIPAC is an American organization serving American interests. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the Trump political team reportedly telling Ohio Republicans to stop trying to force Max Miller out of his re-election bid, the Democratic Socialists of America having no ideas beyond slogans, Mamdani's rent adviser owing more than $108,000 in rent, and critical primaries being held today in three states.First, they shake their heads as Politico reports Trump's political advisers urged the Ohio GOP to stop pressuring Rep. Miller to drop out and resign from Congress because it won't work. Miller is facing numerous serious abuse allegations and the polls show he is likely to lose in November.Next, they highlight Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Co-Chair Megan Romer having no idea how much the DSA would tax the rich, how it would abolish prisons, end borders, or defund the police. Jim is amazed Romer is still doing interviews. Greg argues her evasive answers on taxes aren't much different from regular Democrats.Then, they get a kick out of news that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rent adviser has not paid her own rent since 2021 and owes more than $108,000 in back rent. Jim and Greg discuss how this case seems to be another example of the left trying to demonize landlords.Finally, they offer a quick preview and predictions for key primaries today in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Carolina.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

Most Americans checked out for August. Paul Rieckhoff didn't. From a beach house on Long Island, he cuts a fast, urgent episode to hit what the corporate media won't touch: today is primary day in Connecticut, Minnesota, Vermont, and Wisconsin, and across those four states 21 of 22 U.S. House races are effectively decided before November ever arrives. Connecticut is the sharpest example — the only fully closed primary this week — where 935,892 unaffiliated voters, the largest voting bloc in the state, are legally barred from casting a ballot in the election that will actually pick their representatives. Paul breaks down the numbers town by town, names the 129,563 Connecticut veterans caught in that lockout, and explains why so many of them refuse to join a party on principle — the same principle they swore an oath to defend. Then he pivots to Montana, where Democrat Alani Bankhead just blew past the 5 p.m. deadline to drop out, guaranteeing she'll split the anti-Republican vote and torpedo independent veteran Seth Bodnar's shot at an incumbent Trump rubber-stamper. It's a rigged two-party system on full display in a single news cycle — and a reminder that nobody else is counting these voters, so we will. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Check the IVA overview of Washington State's primary this week.  -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

It's primary day in four states across the U.S., along with a special election in a fifth. The lineup includes contests in Connecticut, Vermont, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Plus, South Carolina's special primary for the U.S. Senate. Following a string of progressive Democratic victories earlier this year, Wisconsin's Democratic gubernatorial primary is the race to watch. FOX News Decision Desk Director Arnon Mishkin joins the Rundown to break down key matchups, discuss whether progressives and Democratic Socialists will maintain their momentum, and analyze what lies ahead for South Carolina following the death of Senator Lindsey Graham. The Trump administration is taking aim at what it calls a major blind spot in America's food supply, proposing new requirements for companies to disclose chemicals added to their products. The move comes as Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pushes to establish a formal definition for ultra-processed foods. HHS advisor and author Calley Means joins the Rundown to explain why the administration says greater transparency is needed and what these proposed changes could mean for the food Americans eat every day.

Episode 624 is here, and Brian Beckner and Ed Daly are covering an absolutely unhinged collection of stories from sports, entertainment, celebrity culture, and the internet. The guys open with a look back at the history of The Baller Lifestyle and the show's long-running inside joke behind the name before immediately getting into some truly bizarre territory. IN THIS EPISODE: The World's Smallest Penis Gets a Growth Spurt The man who claims to have the world's smallest penis has an enhancement procedure scheduled, funded in part by a surprisingly successful GoFundMe. Brian and Ed discuss the economics of internet sympathy, cosmetic procedures, and why people will apparently donate thousands of dollars to almost anything. The Silent iTunes Song Hack A brilliant old-school solution to the problem of your car automatically playing the first song in your iTunes library: a song consisting almost entirely of silence. The guys discuss the strange genius of solving technological annoyances with an even stranger technological workaround. ️ RIP: Vincent Pastore The guys remember the actor best known as Big Pussy Bonpensiero from The Sopranos and revisit one of the show's most memorable storylines. RIP: Don Nelson A look at the legendary NBA player and coach, including his championship career, his time with the Warriors and Mavericks, and his disastrous stint coaching the Knicks. RIP: Ben Jones / Cooter from The Dukes of Hazzard Brian and Ed discuss the actor behind one of television's most recognizable Southern characters. RIP: Glen Hansard The guys talk about the acclaimed Irish musician and his connection to The Commitments, along with the dangers of motorcycles. RIP: Tom Chadbon A brief tribute to the actor whose credits included Game of Thrones and Casino Royale. RIP: William Orbit The legendary producer's passing leads into a discussion of his work with Madonna, Blur, and other major artists. RIP: Robbie Albarado The guys remember the two-time Preakness-winning jockey and discuss the brutal physical demands of professional horse racing. Influencers, bizarre deaths & the internet Brian and Ed continue their unofficial investigation into the increasingly strange world of influencers, including a discussion of dangerous stunts and mysterious deaths. SPORTS Former NFL Receiver Arrested at a Bowling Alley Former NFL wide receiver Stedman Bailey is arrested after police allegedly find him engaged in sexual activity at a Florida mall bowling and arcade venue. Brian and Ed attempt to understand the decision-making involved in having sex in a public place surrounded by people who are literally there to bowl. The $800,000 Sports Betting Dispute A bettor claims he won nearly $800,000, only for Caesars to void the tickets over alleged violations of betting rules. Brian and Ed debate the fine print, sportsbooks, and whether casinos should be allowed to find technicalities when they don't want to pay a massive winning ticket. The Shohei Ohtani / Ippei Mizuhara Gambling Saga The conversation turns to gambling addiction, bookies, and the enormous amount of money reportedly lost in the Ohtani gambling scandal. Alleged NFL Player Investment Scam The guys discuss Mohamed Koulibaly, who was accused of running an e-commerce/investment scheme involving former NFL players before being found dead in a New Jersey swimming pool. Zach Hample Is Still Catching Everything The infamous baseball home-run ball hawk is back in the conversation after nearly catching another historic baseball. Brian and Ed discuss Hample's ability to predict where baseballs are going — and whether being a professional home-run ball collector is one of the world's most annoying hobbies. The Mookie Betts Foul Ball That Got Away Brian revisits the time Mookie Betts hit a foul ball directly toward him and he failed to make the catch, despite being perfectly positioned. Former Cal State Bakersfield Coach Gets Prison Time An update on the former Cal State Bakersfield basketball coach who was convicted in connection with a prostitution operation. VOICEMAILS & LISTENER MAIL Lala LSU Calls In The voicemail segment returns with Lala LSU, including a reminder of his signature sign-off and his now-infamous song. Should The Baller Lifestyle Do 75 Hard? Brian considers taking on another round of 75 Hard, potentially involving listeners and an additional daily guitar-practice requirement. The guys discuss discipline, habit formation, goal setting, and whether committing to a structured challenge through Thanksgiving could provide some much-needed motivation. Hash Browns vs. Home Fries A listener wants to settle one of the most important debates in breakfast history. Brian and Ed pick sides — while acknowledging that certain Irish-style breakfast potatoes may deserve consideration. Cocaine Wars: Tim Raines vs. Doc Gooden The Baller Lifestyle's unofficial Cocaine Wars returns. This time the competitors are two MLB legends: Tim "Rock" Raines Dwight "Doc" Gooden The guys discuss the notorious cocaine use of both players, including Raines' infamous habit of carrying cocaine in his uniform pocket and Gooden's struggles with addiction during his spectacular but troubled career. And, of course, the show gets another custom AI-generated Cocaine Wars theme song. The "Rot" Has Set In A listener submits a bizarre take on Mets rookie pitcher Jeffrey Yan celebrating after a strikeout, leading Brian and Ed into a discussion about player celebrations, individuality, ego, and the increasingly dramatic policing of professional athletes' behavior. How Often Do You Check Your Fly? A listener asks the guys how frequently they make sure their zipper is actually zipped. This leads to an unfortunately detailed discussion of zipper-related injuries and Brian's history of unfortunate encounters with his own pants. The Technology Problem Brian and Ed discuss the strange reality of modern technology, convenience, smartphones, and the idea that we're increasingly tethered to the machines in our pockets. The conversation eventually reaches Ted Kaczynski, The Terminator, data centers, and the uncomfortable possibility that some of the concerns about technology were not entirely insane — even if the methods were. PATREON / BONUS CONTENT The regular episode wraps up with a reminder that the show continues exclusively for Patreon subscribers. Brian and Ed then dive into even more bizarre stories, including: ️ The Influencer Who Allegedly Had Relationships With 50–75 Prisoners An internet personality allegedly maintained relationships with dozens of incarcerated men, leaving Brian and Ed with one major unanswered question: How exactly was she getting access to all these inmates? Death's Door A young couple disappears while kayaking near Wisconsin's infamous Death's Door, a dangerous stretch of water with a long history of shipwrecks. The story leads to a discussion about questionable vacation activities, kayaking, and whether any place called Death's Door should ever be on your travel itinerary. Yellowstone, Landman & Billy Bob Thornton Brian and Ed discuss the strange world of modern television, including Yellowstone, Landman, Billy Bob Thornton's unlikely commercial career, and the increasingly surreal nature of celebrity advertising. Robert Carradine / Revenge of the Nerds The guys discuss the tragic death of Robert Carradine and the lawsuit filed by his family against UCLA, while talking about mental illness, institutional responsibility, and the difficult circumstances surrounding his death. ️ Washington, D.C. Relationship Drama The episode closes with a particularly messy Washington political relationship story involving Eric Swalwell, Stephen Miller's former wife, Steve Bannon, and Elon Musk. Brian and Ed examine the strange intersection of politics, celebrity, sex, power, and Washington's seemingly endless relationship drama.

As Democrats struggle to revive their party, democratic strategist Ben Wikler has advice to share. Wikler was chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin from 2019-2025. And the key, he says, is to focus on the whole system rather than one candidate. He makes this argument in a new book called This Is the Plan. He spoke with NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer about how he believes Democrats can “un-rig” the system and regain political power at the national level.Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.
