Podcast appearances and mentions of Sydney Sweeney

Paul Harris returns to discuss Ron Howard's new film EDEN, starring Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Sydney Sweeney, and Daniel Brühl.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/egW8uq03QaUSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/reelspoilers.

In this episode of "Normal World," Angela teams up with comedian Austin Robertson while Dave Landau is out and 1/4 Black Garrett steps away to support his family. The show begins with a chaotic HR sketch where Crispin avoids workplace training and gets caught smuggling shrimp, before Austin takes over “The Noose” with riffs on Rampage Jackson's son, Sydney Sweeney skydiving, Logan Paul's wedding, and the “Great Scambino.” From there, the hosts pivot into personal stories. Austin recalls witnessing a stabbing outside his Akron apartment, dealing with questionable police work, and later inventing a scheme to help a friend earn a sales bonus that spiraled into a fake child named Jack Jr. and an almost-police investigation. The episode then dives into festival chaos, including Bonnaroo drug deals, Burning Man's “orgy dome” blowing away, and Warped Tour madness with turkey legs flying into the mosh pit. Angela and Austin debate why some bands refuse to play their biggest hits, imagine Steven Seagal in space, and react to Ryan Murphy's upcoming Netflix series that controversially portrays Ed Gein as a leading man. Finally, “End of the World” looks at a so-called skinfluencer who promotes cucking as a marriage strategy, sparking their own irreverent list of relationship “tips” that should never be followed.

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international fashion reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, they discuss Abercrombie's continued earnings winning streak and how its sub-brand, Hollister, and NFL partnership are helping the company scale without overextending. They also look at how American Eagle is bouncing back from a misfired campaign with Sydney Sweeney with a strategically timed Travis Kelce collab, reflecting a bigger shift toward athletes acting as creative partners. Finally, they explore Marks & Spencer's new resale storefront on eBay and how it ties into eBay's growing role as resale infrastructure. Later in the episode, Glossy brings you a Back-to-School Trend special, where Zofia Zwieglinska sat down with the founder of the After School newsletter and Gen-Z consumer trends expert Casey Lewis. Launched in 2021, After School has become a trusted source for brand marketers and editors, thanks to its sharp insights on everything from TikTok hauls to youth retail habits. This year, Lewis tracked thousands of back-to-school hauls on TikTok to decode what Gen Z is buying for back-to-school and why.

This segment celebrates what the hosts view as significant victories in the ongoing culture war, arguing that a shift in power is underway. The central focus is on two key examples: the Cracker Barrel and American Eagle controversies. The host details how the "normal mob"—the term used to describe a growing number of consumers who are pushing back against "woke" corporate agendas—successfully pressured Cracker Barrel to reverse its course, resulting in a stock price recovery. The discussion then turns to American Eagle, which the hosts claim was targeted by the left and media figures for a campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. Despite the backlash, the brand's stock went up, and the host announces that it has now secured a major collaboration with NFL star Travis Kelce. This is framed as a critical turning point, suggesting that corporate "terror" previously wielded by groups like the Human Rights Campaign and influential hedge funds is losing its power. The segment also touches on the political and cultural implications of Taylor Swift's recent engagement to Travis Kelce, humorously suggesting that her decision to get married to a "manly man" could unintentionally make traditional marriage cool again for a younger, largely liberal demographic, further disrupting the left's cultural narrative.

Before the fascists came, America was finally on the right track. As the saying goes, when you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow. That's what happened with our violent but mostly peaceful revolution in the Summer of 2020. When Joe Biden took office, we had complete control over the message and could fire anyone at will if they used the wrong pronoun, doubted the election results, or dared to defy mask mandates or lockdowns. Or even wore a red hat. We erected a high fence around the Capitol. We shunned, destroyed, de-banked, fired, bullied, harassed, and abused anyone who ever supported Trump. The hearts and minds did follow, they had to. We'd laid the groundwork for our revolution decades before. Most Americans were unaware of it. So were most parents until lockdowns. Then, unfortunately, they saw, but by then it was too late. A whole army had come of age and now, had taken to the streets. Conform or else.That's how culture changed, and it changed dramatically, almost overnight — all were in compliance. Movies, fashion, books, the arts, comedy, and yes, museums finally did what they were supposed to do - tell us how to think, what to think, and whose side to be on. America wasn't ready for that back in the 1950s when Communist hunters in government and Hollywood punished those seeking to use culture as a conduit for dogma. It's the Conservatives once again attempting to purge American culture of an infectious mind virus. When Trump gave a speech at Mount Rushmore, it was a warning, like Mein Kampf. America knew where we were headed, but they put him in power anyway four years later. Then again, how do we really know he was elected? Like they say on TikTok, “he wasn't shot, he didn't win, he is on the list.”We know how close the election was. Just as when Hitler won in Germany, Trump's win was close enough to rob him of his mandate to decide America wants change. America doesn't. America is “woke” and likes it that way, and if they don't, too bad.Now, the fascists want the Old America back. They want people to feel proud of their country and be inspired to make the most of themselves, regardless of skin color or class. As if that's even possible in a White Supremacist empire founded by colonizers on stolen land on the backs of oppressed and enslaved people. But we're going to fight them, just like we will fight them, trying to close the border or clean up crime or end the crisis of unhoused persons. Fortunately, we have complete control of the BBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, The New York Times, and the Washington Post. They will project our message - they have to. They know that and have since 2020. And that message will have to be that Trump wants to eradicate all mentions of slavery, pretend it never existed at all. When Jillian Michaels tried to explain to the Good People at CNN that purging the “woke” from the Smithsonian wasn't about erasing slavery, it didn't go so well:But she's a fascist-apologist, which means we must do what we can to exclude her, purge her, and silence her. There is only one point of view allowed in our America. Anyone who tries to criticize us or dismantle what we built over the past 20 years must be destroyed. That is anti-fascism.So that meant she had to go on News Nation to try to further explain what she really meant.It doesn't really matter what Jillian Michaels thinks. What matters is what we tell her to think, and if she doesn't go along with it, she must be punished. We want every child or teenager forced to visit the Smithsonian with their school or their parents to know they should be ashamed of not just the color of their skin (if they are white) but of their country, its history, and its so-called heroes. We want every Black child or teenager who is forced to visit the museum to also know that they are forever and eternal victims; we need them to be. We need an endless supply of oppressed people to continue demonizing the oppressors and preserve our power. Not to mention, raise money from wealthy, guilty white people who need absolution for their sins of wealth and privilege. Otherwise, what's the point?Yes, it's to make everyone feel welcome, but they must know their place as symbols of oppression and never be allowed to rise beyond the menial jobs white people won't take. That keeps them in their lane. It's better than life in the third world. And it helps justify our movement. One exhibit depicts what looks like the Baby Jesus and family caught by border agents while trying to cross over the wall. Art must tell us what to think. This image conveys the migrants as martyrs under an oppressive system. It's a message that we project across all facets of culture under our control. We guide viewers on how to interpret this image and draw a conclusion about America. The message must be that all people who cross the border do so seeking democracy and a decent life. They are good. If you see them as terrorists or rapists or gang members, you are bad. You are a racist. If there is a Sydney Sweeney ad that celebrates “good genes,” well, the Gap will answer it with how we're all supposed to reflect female beauty as every color of the rainbow, because the Sydney Sweeney ad was racist. Here is another exhibit which reflects how we see our protected groups — it's never about achievement. It's only about identity. Identity is achievement. From the White House: I mean, of course, we know that Irish and Italian immigrants were attacked and prevented from voting and working in the US. They were white. But we can't tell that story because it muddies the message. All children need to know is that Benjamin Franklin was a racist. Art should depict any person who is marginalized as saintly and god-like. Here is an example of one of our children who is probably the last generation to know the truth before the fascists came.All school children should learn, as early as possible, about the various identity groups in case they might belong to one — surely they are aware of this even as toddlers. What we used to call a fetish is also now identity:The American History Museum's “LGBTQ+ History” exhibit seeks to “understand evolving and overlapping identities such as lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, queer, transsexual, transvestite, mahu, homosexual, fluid, invert, urning, third sex, two sex, gender-bender, sapphist, hijra, friend of Dorothy, drag queen/king, and many other experiences.” If this were actual art, there would be an exhibit labeled “The Woke Eye view” and offer some critical thinking of Critical Theory. But that would be blasphemy. Artists have always spoken truth to power, and we have all of the cultural power, so we decide the message. Because identity matters, the transgender fight is on par with Jim Crow in our ideology, so if you remove any of it, it is like you are erasing Black history, too.Illegal immigration is identity. Crime is identity. Theft, carjacking, murder, and rape are identity, unless you're white. Then you drive the news cycle for several weeks as we lament the harms of “white supremacy” on our society.If you try to stop any of it, then you will be screamed at, “F— you! You f—ing fascists! Why are you here? I don't want you in my city!” So said one brave resistance fighter who then, in a fit of pure rage, hurled a footlong sub at the Gestapo then fled the scene. We turned that into art, too. Ordinarily, we might care that the sandwich would make for a pretty good meal for an unhoused person, or that it costs carbon emissions to grow the animal, slaughter it, then drive the meat to Subway, and finally put the sandwich together, probably all labor by people of color or other marginalized groups. We might protest him or cancel him on social media for his carbon footprint. But that would be in ordinary times. These are not ordinary times. Anti-fascism is preventing crime in the cities because policing crime is another form of oppression. Anyone who supports making the streets safer is a fascist. All of the Good White Liberals agree: Fascism is here. Even Bill Maher says so. Sure, he kind of has to because if he doesn't, he might not get invited to the parties anymore. Or his show might be canceled outright. Or maybe he believes it. We get to say what kind of lawfare amounts to fascism. Terry Moran gets to say. Sure, we raided Trump's home and indicted him, took his mug shot. Threw Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro in jail for Contempt of Congress, tried to throw Trump in jail, tried to throw him off the ballot, probably tried to shoot him; we might have de-banked a few and kicked people off social media. Fired them for offensive words, ideas, or headlines. But you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.It all works together. Keep teaching that America is an empire of “white supremacy” and Black and Brown people must turn to crime and drug addiction just to survive it, well, then, we don't want the National Guard in our cities, because what would happen if they cleaned up crime? No crime, no democracy. We need the museum to explain why we need DEI, why we have crime, and why we need to accept crime and homelessness as a part of normal life in a sick and broken country like ours. As long as our country is sick and broken, then our movement is justified. We must eradicate fascism and restore democracy. 2020 was only the beginning. We just need to ensure we have complete control over the young. We want them as early as infancy. We want them in preschool. We want everything they see and everything they learn to be our message. Our America. Was it Orwell who said, “Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.” That is our fight now. Who controls the present? We need to protect our message that not all are created equal. Our history must remind us every day that we should feel shame about our past, because how else to justify our survival? // This is a public episode.

Sydney Sweeney is Hollywood's most-discussed starlet, often for confusing reasons. Her existence as a visible woman with a human body made her the target of widespread male adoration, ridicule, and political projection. How she navigates being the new Miss American Dream is yielding increasingly bizarre results — what's the deal with her eugenics, I mean genetics? And the bathwater? In this much-requested episode, Taylor, Kat and I examine the 27-year-old's relationship to wokeness (just kill me already), the line between sex work and whatever's happening in her brand endorsements, and the right-wing media's penchant for manufacturing hysteria.

Episode 203 is stacked, dude. Here's everything I covered this week, all in one place:First off, I'm plugging Megs' new blown booby art. It started as a bit, now it's real. One-of-one paintings made with, you guessed it, paint and boobs. You can buy them right now at wadpod.com/art. Support a local artist, hang them in your house, and flex on your neighbors.-- wawdpod.com/art Then I had to address the Olive Garden incident. Yes, I “hit” an old lady with my car in the parking lot. But before you judge me, she came at my son inside the restaurant first. He was happy, eating his chicken tenders, making a few sound effects like kids do. She waddled over, told Megs she was a terrible mom, then waddled up front to complain again. Servers literally came to apologize to us. People out here policing autistic kids like they run the parenting Olympics. What are we doing?From there we dove into the chaos that is the Cracker Barrel rebrand. New logo, new look, stock prices tanking, internet rioting. I stepped in like the digital savior I am and designed a better logo myself. I'm now officially the face of Cracker Barrel 2025, partnered with their new CEO, who is sneaky hot by the way. Everyone's mad, I think it's fine. Sydney Sweeney's joining me as brand ambassador, and we're saving breakfast one biscuit at a time.Then we had to talk about the Trump T1 phone scam. They're advertising a “gold” Trump phone, but it's literally a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in a Spigen case… and they left the watermark on. Subscriptions are overpriced, fees everywhere, autopay only, and people are still buying it. Don't give Trump your debit card. Give me your debit card. wadpod.com/art.Trump wasn't done though. He's now using his so-called “peace talks” between Russia and Ukraine as cool points to get into heaven. He literally said on Fox News, “I want to get to heaven if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well.” Bro, if your afterlife strategy is saving 7,000 lives a week, maybe start by not scamming people with gold phones.Next up, internet news. AJ and Big Justice dropped their new single “Big Fat Meatballs” and it's the anthem nobody knew we needed. Central PA finally has its Drake and 21 Savage, but with marinara. Go stream it everywhere, or you're un-American.Meanwhile, Trisha Paytas linked up with Arby's. Yes, the queen of chaos is now the queen of beef and cheddar. She filmed a Jamoka Shake commercial that's peak Trisha. She's also out here naming her kids Elvis, Barbie, and Aquaman. Honestly, iconic.And finally, South Park roasted ChatGPT. They dropped a new episode where dudes are using AI to talk to their wives, and I've never felt more seen in my life. I told you already, if AI shuts down, I'm cooked. Emails, scripts, plans—gone. No more What Are We Doing podcast without it.That's the show. Episode 203, we covered:Booby art for sale.Olive Garden old lady beef.Cracker Barrel meltdown.Trump phone scam.Trump trying to buy a ticket into heaven.AJ & Big Justice meatball banger.Trisha Paytas x Arby's.South Park AI jokes.What are we doing?

Menendez, now 54, appeared via videoconference at a nearly 10-hour hearing before the California Board of Parole Hearings, which cited concerns over his prison misconduct — including contraband cellphones and other violations — and ongoing risk to public safety. The board ruled he must serve at least three more years before becoming eligible again. Officials also noted that his brother, Lyle Menendez, is scheduled for a separate hearing the following day.

Mickey Drexler redefined retail by radically remaking Gap and J Crew, and working alongside Steve Jobs to guide the creation of the Apple Store. Drexler joins Rapid Response to assess some of the biggest stories in the retail industry today, from the weight of crippling tariffs and US manufacturing skepticism, to Sydney Sweeney's controversial American Eagle campaign. Feisty as ever, Drexler shares his unvarnished view on in-office work, AI's limitations, and why leaders need to follow their gut or get out of the way.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Can you juggle? If you're a communications pro today, you'd better learn how. Just when you think you've got a good rhythm going, someone tosses you another responsibility. Maybe it's a new social platform. Maybe it's a cultural shift that changes how your audience thinks. Maybe it's AI lighting everything on fire. But you can handle it. In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle sits down with Abenaa (Abby) Hayes, founder and CEO of Elysee Consulting, who's been perfecting this professional juggling act for over two decades, helping executives and organizations navigate inclusion and social impact communications without losing their footing. She doesn't just help companies say the right things; she helps them figure out how to authentically live their values in a fractured landscape where performative statements can and do backfire often. What happens when the inclusion specialist walks out of the room? Ask American Eagle about their Sydney Sweeney campaign. Or better yet, listen as Abby breaks down why having the right people in the room matters more than ever, and why those people shouldn't be treated like cops, but as strategic advisors who help you achieve what you actually want to achieve. This conversation goes way beyond the DEI acronym to explore what it really means to show up authentically when everyone's watching, everyone's got an opinion, and the stakes keep getting higher. Listen in and hear about... Why "showing up" means more than just posting something and walking away How the fractured media landscape requires meeting audiences where they actually are (hint: it's not always the New York Times) The real reason former journalists are becoming PR's secret weapon Why AI literacy isn't optional anymore—the people who know AI are coming for your job How to navigate inclusion without becoming the content police The American Eagle case study and what happens when brainstorms escape into the wild Why curiosity might be your only real competitive advantage Notable Quotes On the Importance of Inclusion: "To me that's ultimately what it's about. And if I just look at the demographics, both of the US and globally, like we're truly operating in a multicultural and multiethnic world." - Abenaa Hayes [11:40 → 12:02] On the Evolution of Media Relations: "Media relations is no longer the be all end all in terms of not only driving awareness but cultivating credibility. Right. You've got to take literally like a multi step approach in order to drive ultimately what I call brand engagement." - Abenaa Hayes [36:20 → 37:15] On AI Literacy: "If you're really looking to future proof a career, your competency and know how to navigate everything that's coming, you have to actually understand how to use it and also be fluent in it." - Abenaa Hayes [50:03 → 51:50] On AI in Communication: "My contention is that none of this is going to take your job because your job itself is going to be so much different that if you lose your job, it's kind of on you." - Dan Nestle [56:41 → 57:41] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn   Abenaa (Abby) Hayes Elysee Consulting | Website Abenaa Hayes | LinkedIn Timestamps 0:00 Intro: Juggling priorities as communicators 5:30 Abena Hayes: Navigating inclusion and social impact 11:39 The importance of authentic inclusion efforts 18:02 Media relations in a fractured landscape 25:01 Storytelling's role in effective communication 31:38 AI literacy and its impact on careers 38:15 The future of communications jobs 44:26 Generative AI and earned media strategies 50:02 Critical thinking in the age of AI 54:39 AI as a tool, not a replacement 1:00:36 The evolving role of communications professionals 1:06:32 Curiosity as a key skill for communicators (Notes co-created by Human Dan, Claude, and  Flowsend.ai ) Learn more about your ad choices.

Last week Fox News misled its viewers about gerrymandering, hyped up a summit with Putin in Alaska, downplayed Trump's decision to send the National Guard into Washington D.C., demonized a man who hit a federal law enforcement agent with a foot-long Subway sandwich and finally admitted no one really cared about the Sydney Sweeney jeans commercial.“Fox & Friends,” “The Five,” and “Hannity” boasted to their audiences that a recent poll showed that only 12% of Americans were offended by the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad. Instead of conceding that they spent far too much time, energy and focus on a commercial no one cared about, Fox News personalities portrayed the poll as validation for their excessive coverage.The jeans ad was a three-week story on the network while the word ‘Epstein' did not appear once in the transcripts from last week. Fox News is apparently not concerned that its glorious leader might have had sex with minor-aged girls or supported a sex trafficking ring in any way. This is a public episode.

The fuss over Sydney Sweeney's jeans/genes ad, and there are those who accused her of "normalizing eugenics," misses an important point: we are already doing another round of eugenics. It's just that this round is about the Haves having access to surrogates, IVF, CRISPR, and other genetic assistance while the Have Nots have plummeting fertility rates and no longterm care options when they have children with health problems. Jessa and Nico talk about the history of eugenics, why it was a leftist cause for so long, and what a baby with a $5 million miracle cure says about the future of humanity.

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we sit down with marketing royalty Laura Ries, the daughter of Al Ries and Chairwoman of RIES, to unpack what makes for truly powerful brand building. The discussion, sparked by American Eagle's controversial Sydney Sweeney campaign, offers a masterclass in cutting through the noise and making brands that dominate for decades, not just news cycles. In a world obsessed with fleeting attention spans, viral TikToks, and celebrity partnerships, the rules for building a lasting brand have never been more confusing, or more misunderstood. When “attention” has become the trending currency, too many marketers forget the fundamental principles that separate overnight sensations from category-defining legends. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Chasing Attention Versus Owning a Strategic Position Laura Ries doesn't mince words. Right from the start, she asks, “Are we just going out for attention's sake?” In the American Eagle campaign, the retailer had Sydney Sweeney, a star adored by a young demographic. front and center with the tagline “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.” The resulting hullabaloo proved attention-grabbing, but Laura and Christopher quickly zero in on the flaw: it was a win for Sweeney's personal brand, maybe the category of jeans, but not for American Eagle. Compare this to the iconic Brooke Shields for Calvin Klein moment, seared into pop culture by its taboo-breaking line: “Nothing comes between me and my Calvins.” Everyone still remembers it. And Shields herself, now in her 50s and 60s, gets asked about it to this day. Why did it stick when so many celebrity-driven campaigns fade fast? Laura argues the difference is clear: Calvin Klein tied a provocative moment to a real, ownable positioning idea. It wasn't just attention; it was differentiation, and it transformed the brand. The Leader, the Challenger, and the Power of Contrasts Christopher then adds, “The category king of jeans is Levi Strauss”. If you're not the leader, you can't just market the category; you must establish a well-defined, opposite position. Calvin Klein's campaign worked because it created a contrast in the market: there's an implied competitor, a reason to choose Calvin's over everything else. American Eagle, on the other hand, failed to anchor its campaign in any clear difference or strategic enemy. Christopher asks, “If you're American Eagle, what the fuck are you doing?” To this, they both agree: at the very least, American Eagle, given its patriotic name, should have leaned into American-made authenticity rather than a generic celebrity endorsement disconnected from any unique brand promise. Category Design: The True Differentiator Brands like Dude Wipes and Liquid Death exemplify the playbook for building new categories, and thus, legendary brands. Dude Wipes didn't invent wipes, just as Liquid Death didn't invent water. But they staked out a radically different, memorable position: “Dude” wipes for men, and canned water that resembles a beer or energy drink and brands itself as death to plastics. This isn't attention for attention's sake; it's strategic, memorable, and deeply anchored to a big idea: a core enemy, a new experience, a bold promise.

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 Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Trump Says What People Think President Donald Trump's crime reduction initiative in Washington, D.C., which has sparked intense backlash from left-wing commentators accusing him of federal overreach and authoritarianism. Clay and Buck dissect the media's reaction and highlight the irony of critics opposing efforts to make the nation's capital safer. The hosts explore rising urban crime rates, citing firsthand accounts and statistics from cities like St. Louis, Baltimore, Memphis, and Kansas City, and propose deploying National Guard troops as a potential solution. They emphasize the importance of law enforcement, incarceration of repeat offenders, and authentic political leadership in addressing violent crime. TX AG Ken Paxton on Redistricting Battle Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joins the program to provide exclusive updates on the Texas redistricting battle, including legal actions against Democratic lawmakers who fled the state. Paxton outlines efforts to enforce quorum laws and criticizes the hypocrisy of Democrat-led states with heavily gerrymandered districts. Would You Do This on a Date? Clay and Buck share personal dating anecdotes, including a humorous story about a failed e-scooter date and a debate over the social faux pas of using gift certificates on first dates. The segment blends cultural commentary with relatable humor, resonating with both longtime listeners and new audiences. Mamdani is Everyone's Worst Nightmare Top Political Headlines include White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirming a major diplomatic meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska. The hosts also dissect the latest economic news, celebrating a 2.7% inflation rate and record highs across the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Dow Jones—crediting Trump’s tariffs and economic policies for the market surge and wage growth. In cultural news, Clay and Buck discuss Disney’s apology and rehiring of Gina Carano after her 2021 dismissal, and the backlash surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s ad, which polls show was largely well-received despite media outrage. The conversation pivots to social media censorship, with praise for Elon Musk’s overhaul of Twitter (now X), which they say has curbed leftist bullying and restored free speech. The hour also dives into New York City politics, spotlighting the rise of mayoral candidate Mamdani, described as a “straight-up communist.” The hosts debate George Will’s assertion that Democrats should face the consequences of their policies, with Buck pushing back, arguing that defeat doesn’t teach lessons—especially to the left.
