On the heels of the No Kings protests that drew an estimated seven million Americans, there seems to be a strong coalition to take on Trump and the GOP. But, what will the Democrats' message be? Jessica Tarlov and guest host David Frum of The Atlantic discuss the Democratic Party's predicament — and the value of tacking to the center. Plus: is there a justifiable rationale for the Trump administration's deadly strikes on boats in the Caribbean? And, Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's insurgent campaign was set back last week by years of past internet comments coming to light. He has taken responsibility for his remarks — but, in a primary against Gov. Janet Mills, will it matter? Follow Jessica Tarlov, @JessicaTarlov.  Follow Prof G, @profgalloway.

Michael tackles a provocative poll question at Smerconish.com today: "Is it better for the national Democratic Party if Zohran Mamdani wins or loses in NYC?" Michael explores how the Mamdani campaign embodies the tug-of-war between progressives and centrists, and what that tension means for Democrats trying to win across swing districts. He adds commentary from The New York Times and Wall Street Journal about the party's ideological crossroads, from Joe Manchin's centrism to AOC-style activism. It's a smart, spirited look at what is really at stake in one city's election. Listen here and please rate and review this podcast! Then, vote on the question at smerconish.com.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWords can move nations—and sometimes they move them off a cliff. We dive into the antebellum South to examine the Fire Eaters, the radical pro‑slavery leaders whose speeches, platforms, and media campaigns turned sectional tension into a secession movement. With William W. Freehling's and Eric H. Walther's research as our guide, we unpack how mainstream Democratic moderates once contained extremism, why that buffer failed, and how a small but relentless network reframed compromise as dishonor and delay as defeat.We explore the core playbook: amplify grievance, define identity against an enemy, and repeat a simple choice—submit or secede. William Lowndes Yancey emerges as the silver‑tongued strategist who pushed the Alabama Platform and helped fracture the Democratic Party at Charleston in 1860, while Robert Barnwell Rhett's Charleston Mercury kept the pressure on with relentless editorials and organizing. Their coordination—one commanding the stage, the other the press—created a feedback loop that made moderation sound timid and militancy sound inevitable. Along the way, we revisit key flashpoints like Bleeding Kansas and the caning of Charles Sumner, not as isolated events but as fuel for a narrative that sold rupture as rescue.This conversation isn't just about the past; it's a lens for the present. We track how over‑the‑top rhetoric accelerates polarization, how media ecosystems can reward the loudest voices, and what happens when political identity hardens into a zero‑sum creed. The takeaway is both sobering and practical: language shapes choices, and choices shape history. If you care about how societies keep disagreement from becoming disaster, this story matters.Key Points from the Episode:• Fire Eaters defined as radical pro‑slavery secessionists• Moderates within the Democratic Party as temporary brake on extremism• Propaganda through speeches and newspapers to harden opinion• Yancey's Alabama Platform and Charleston 1860 walkout• Rhett's Charleston Mercury as engine of agitation• Walther's argument on movement diversity and acceleration of secession• Biographical arcs of Yancey and Rhett as case studies in radicalization• Caution on the social cost of over‑the‑top rhetoric• Preview of a debate comparing 1860 rhetoric to todayOther resources: Want to leave a review?

Atlanta Journal Constitution op/ed columnist Bill Torpy penned a piece in early September finger-wagging at progressives over word choice and his perceiving them to be 'haughty and arrogant,' owing to their 'moral superiority' as a reason the Democratic Party is losing elections and the voter registration game, lately. He cited the recently resigned CDC official Dr. Demetre Daskalakis' resignation letter and his use of the term "pregnant people" as an example. Third Way had a longer list, incidentally; a list I questioned. I don't dismiss what Torpy or Third Way is saying, in their entirety, but I find it a touch rich with irony that both take their own 'haughty & arrogant' or 'morally superior' high horse to call out the progressive wing of the party while ignoring the party - controlled by the establishment more to the center - being awful at messaging and in being as welcoming to progressive voters as they seem to be to "never Trump" Republicans.

We're heading down the bayou for a sibling showdown as Port Orleans Riverside takes on Port Orleans French Quarter in the latest round of Resort Wars. These two charming Moderates may share a name and a boat to Disney Springs, but when it comes to theming, food, amenities, and overall vibe—they couldn't be more different. We walk through seven battle rounds, comparing everything from room layouts and transportation to pool fun, recreation options, and value for your hard-earned vacation dollar. French Quarter brings that cozy, jazz-filled energy with colorful buildings, cobblestone streets, and of course—those famous Mickey-shaped beignets. Riverside answers back with lush walking paths, Royal Guest Rooms, and the fan-favorite Yeeha Bob at River Roost Lounge. Along the way, we'll share our own experiences at both resorts, a few personal preferences, and what we think makes each one special. We also reveal the results from your votes in our Facebook poll—because this battle isn't just about us…it's about the whole Main Street Magic community. So grab your floatworks beignet or your fishing rod from Ol' Man Island, and let's settle this once and for all.
