Hour 3 with Jeff Hathhorn: Esmerlyn Valdez has been incredible for the Pirates. Would you approach him with a long-term contract? Valdez has been CLUTCH. He has a good approach and has been very important to the Pirates' season. Harry in Westview wonders why the Pirates won't make Carmen Mlodzinski the closer. It was cool to see how much people care globally about the World Cup.

Greg Brown joins the show! Will the Pirates play tonight? The smoke in the air in Cleveland is casting doubt over whether tonight's game will be played. Do the Pirates need another starter? Greg says every team could use another arm and the Pirates would be one of those teams open to it. He says the Keller mystery is still one that needs to be solved. The Pitt upset of Clemson is making its rounds on Twitter. Dorin discusses the game and the speech he gave before it. What would have happened if the NCAA had a playoff format in the latter part of the 2000s. Brownie compared Esmerlyn Valdez to Aramis Ramirez. The guys would absolutely take Ramirez's career for Valdez. Fan Cash Contest, Ron in the car says that Mitch Keller will have a rebound second half of the season and be the Pirates' best pitcher. Crowley is trying to quit nicotine and is chewing gum, which Dorin can hear. The current air quality in Cleveland is not looking good. Will we see the Pirates play the Guardians tonight or does Canada have other ideas? Breaking News: The Pidgeon Lady from Home Alone 2 passes away.

St. Augustine head football coach Robert Valdez joined Sports Talk. Coach Valdez praised the support for the Purple Knight football team after St. Aug's run to the state championship game last year. He also previewed the upcoming 2026 season.
Special Guest Carmelita Valdez McKoy returns to the show for a fun, free-ranging conversation about a movie that could be described as "E.T. for adults": John Carpenter's critically acclaimed STARMAN (1984) featuring Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen.

7-13 Fan Morning Show 8am Hour: Our very own Dan Zangrilli joins the show to recap the Pirates' successful weekend. Dan and Dorin were bad at math in school. Dan says he likes the trade the Pirates made but wouldn't say they 'won' the deal. He also likes that the Pirates addressed a need and says a different GM wouldn't make that trade if Cherington had tons of job security. Is Dan confident that the Pirates can make the playoffs? They need to win 39 games to reach the 89 win mark, which Dan says would be the threshold for making the playoffs. It is doable, but reaching that mark will be difficult. Dan says that "anyone with an arm" needs to have a good second half for the Pirates to have a great second half of the season, specifically Mitch Keller. Producer Charlie may or may not have said my fiancée sounds like a grazing cattle when she chews gum. Crowley has gum in his mouth and is paranoid people can hear him chewing. Exactly how bad of a year has Mitch Keller had? John Wehner joins the show! What did Wehner see from Esmerlyn Valdez over the weekend? Without him, the Pirates would not have won either game on Saturday. He says that Valdez's approach is elite for someone his age. The pitching staff is getting shelled and Bill Murphy is getting bad press. Matt Hague has not been talked about enough and deserves more credit according to Hague. When things go well, no one gets credit. When things go badly, their name is the only thing you hear. There is a viral video going around of a grown man being tossed around like a small child by a buffalo. How much would you be paid to get into a ring with a buffalo? My theory is that the buffalo wanted to trample the woman in the Dolphins jersey but was respectful enough to go after the grown man in the overalls instead.
7-13 Fan Morning Show 6am Hour: The Pirates swept the Brewers over the weekend. They are the highest scoring team in baseball. The guys thought the Pirates would be eight games back when today started. However, the Pirates completely reversed those expectations. Dorin wishes this had happened after the All Star break or a couple of weeks before. Can the Pirates continue their momentum on Friday against Cleveland? Is it too late for Esmerlyn Valdez to be considered for NL ROY? Paul Skenes also says he wishes the All Star Break started later so they can keep the momentum going. How would you grade the first half of the season? The offense has been great, but the pitching and bullpen have dragged the grade down a lot. The Pirates had one player with a higher OPS last year than the entire team's OPS this year. A caller asks about potentially extending Valdez to a long term contract. Crowley asks who needs to step up in the second half to make the playoffs. Dorin says Ben Cherington. He needs to step up to solidify the bullpen so it is not a weak link anymore. The bullpen seems taxed because the starters have gone on short outings this season. Another caller grades the Pirates at a B right now. The Pirates are in the top three in most offensive categories. Pirates catchers this season have 16 home runs and also rank highly in other offensive categories even though Henry Davis is struggling. Brandon Lowe and Ryan O'Hearn, the two primary bats the Pirates acquired this offseason, account for 25% of the runs the Pirates have scored this season. The Pirates have already hit more home runs this year than they did all of last year. How much credit does Matt Hauge deserve?
John Wehner joins the show! What did Wehner see from Esmerlyn Valdez over the weekend? Without him, the Pirates would not have won either game on Saturday. He says that Valdez's approach is elite for someone his age. The pitching staff is getting shelled and Bill Murphy is getting bad press. Matt Hague has not been talked about enough and deserves more credit according to Hague. When things go well, no one gets credit. When things go badly, their name is the only thing you hear.
Hour 2: Could the Pirates call Seth Hernandez up before the end of this season? Could Esmerlyn Valdez get a contract extension already? And the guys play another round of Bucco Auction House.
Esmerlyn Valdez delivered again, launching a two-run homer that gave the Pirates an early lead in their 3-2 win over the Brewers. Tyler and Doug break down Bubba Chandler's start, Brandon Eisert's shaky debut, Yohan Ramirez's continued scoreless run, and the bullpen's nerve-racking effort to finish the victory. The Pirates swept the doubleheader, won the series, and guaranteed themselves a winning record entering the All-Star break.

Esmerlyn Valdez delivered the biggest swings in the Pirates' series finale against the Phillies, but his recent production is becoming about more than one good game. Alex Stumpf explains why Valdez has earned an extended opportunity as an everyday player, the improvements he is already showing at the plate and why the Pirates cannot justify giving Marcell Ozuna more at-bats right now. Could Valdez simply take hold of an outfield job and keep it for the rest of the season? OffBeat is presented by FanDuel.

Is it too hot for golf? I educate Limits on the amount of things that you pay for to put a wedding together. When he gets married in 40 years, he will understand. Are Pirates fans falling in love with Esmerlyn Valdez? With the absences of Oneil Cruz and Spencer Horwitz, Valdez has emerged as a significant power threat. Will Valdez fall flat after a little while? Other Pirates prospects have emerged and then quickly faded. Only time will tell if Valdez can continue his hot play. Limits goes over some of the best starts for rookies in Pirates history. Valdez has had a better start than many notable names in the history of the organization. Greg in Youngstown says the Pirates should sweep the Nationals and says Valdez has the most power in the organization since Dave Parker. Aramis Ramirez would like a word. Bobby in Beaver County tells a long story about the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. We have no idea why.
The Pittsburgh Pirates were able to come away with a 6-1 win against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday, earning a series split on the road.Jared Jones made his seventh start since coming off the injured list, allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out six batters. Carmen Mlodzinski came in and pitched three shutout innings, picking up his fifth win of the season.That gave way for Gregory Soto and Mason Montgomery to pitch the eighth and ninth, respectively. They didn't allow a hit or a walk, and combined to strike out four batters.Bucs On Deck is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Esmerlyn Valdez stayed hot, going 2-4 with a triple and three RBI. Nick Gonzales went 3-5 with two RBI, and Endy Rodriguez hit his fifth home run of the season. The Pirates now head to Washington for a three-game weekend series against the Nationals. Mitch Keller, Braxton Ashcraft, and Bubba Chandler are the three projected starters this weekend. Sammy Stafura continued to be hot at the plate, picking up four hits, including a double and a home run, in Greensboro's 23-10 win over Bowling Green on Thursday.Acquired from the Cincinnati Reds in the Ke'Bryan Hayes trade, Stafura has reached base in 21 straight games going back to the start of May. He's also recorded four straight multi-hit games and has homered in four of his last five. Despite a slow start while rehabbing with Bradenton, Stafura has his OPS up over .800 thanks to his recent play.Seth Hernandez made his first start of July, getting roughed up a bit at home against Bowling Green. In 3.2 innings pitched, Hernandez allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out seven. While he walked just one, he missed his spots on some of his pitches, which also led to the home run that eventually chased him from the game.Despite the outing, Hernandez still sports a 2.59 ERA this season, with 107 strikeouts over 66 innings pitched. He also picked off two baserunners, while also nearly notching a third. * RHP Enrique Quintana assigned to DSL Pirates Gold from DSL Pirates BlackTop Exit Velocity* Esmerlyn Valdez - PIT - 112.7 mph - Triple* Jhostynxon Garcia - IND - 110.8 mph - Double* Brandon Lowe - PIT - 109.8 mph - Lineout* Brandon Lowe - PIT - 106.6 mph - Single* Esmerlyn Valdez - PIT - 106.3 mph - Single* Ronny Simon - IND - 106.3 mph - DoubleTop Pitch Velocity* Jared Jones - PIT - 100.3 mph* Jared Jones - PIT - 100.2 mph* Jared Jones - PIT - 100.2 mph* Jared Jones - PIT - 100 mph* Jared Jones - PIT - 100 mphMost Whiffs* Seth Hernandez - GBO - 14* Jared Jones - PIT - 11* Noah Davis - IND - 11* Irwin Ramirez - BRD - 7* Dominic Perachi - ALT - 7* Joshua Loeschorn - ALT - 7* Carlson Reed - GBO - 7Support the site by becoming a paid member and get access to all of our premium content, including our top prospect list with complete player write-ups and video breakdowns, which come out weekly.It will also give access to my player feature articles from on-site trips.We have monthly and yearly plans available, with the latter costing an average of $4.16/month.Indianapolis Indians - 4 vs Omaha Storm Chasers - 2GamedayTop Hitter - Nick Cimillo: 1-3, R, 3 RBI, HRTop Pitcher - Mike Clevinger: 2 IP, KAltoona Curve - 10 vs Portland Sea Dogs - 3GamedayTop Hitter - Duce Gourson: 3-4, 2 R, 4 RBI, BB, HR, 3 SBTop Pitcher - Landon Tomkins: 2.2 IP, H, BB, 2 KGreensboro Grasshoppers - 23 vs Bowling Green Hot Rods - 10GamedayTop Hitter - Sammy Stafura: 4-6, 4 R, 4 RBI, 2B, HRTop Pitcher - Carlson Reed: 2 IP, 2 H, BB, 5 KBradenton Marauders - 6 vs Daytona Tortugas - 11GamedayTop Hitter - Antonio Pimentel: 2-5, R, RBI, 2B, 3BTop Pitcher - Noah Takacs: 0.2 IP, HFCL Pirates - 1 vs FCL Braves - 4GamedayTop Hitter - Darell Morel: 1-2, BB, 2 SBTop Pitcher - Dioris Martinez: 2 IP, 3 KDSL Pirates Black - SuspendedDSL Pirates Gold - 3 vs DSL Brewers - 9GamedayTop Hitter - Limanol Payero: 2-2, R, RBI, HRTop Pitcher - Yoslaniel Hernandez: 3 IP, H, ER, 5 BB, 2 K Get full access to Bucs On Deck at bucsondeck.substack.com/subscribe

Gun Owners of America's Luis Valdez joins Marc and Kim for 2A Tuesday with a stunning Second Amendment win straight from the Supreme Court — the Wolford case just struck down attempts like Hawaii's to strip private property owners of the right to allow lawful gun owners onto their premises. Valdez breaks down how the left keeps rebranding America's most popular rifle as an "assault weapon" to manipulate public opinion, and exposes the legal battlefield raging in Illinois and Virginia, where gun grabbers like JB Pritzker are using one-party control to trample Second Amendment rights right across the river from St. Louis listeners. Valdez also delivers an explosive update on the ATF's illegal gun registry fight, revealing the feds have built a searchable database of gun owners just waiting for a switch to be flipped. This is the unapologetic, on-the-ground report from the front lines of the gun rights battle — and a reminder that local elections matter just as much as the big ones.

The Pirates looked dead after falling behind 5-0, but their offense completely flipped the game in an 11-7 win over the Phillies. Esmerlyn Valdez homered for the fourth straight game and reached base four times, Endy Rodriguez crushed a three-run homer in the ninth and Braxton Ashcraft battled through six innings after a rough start. Jim and Neil break down the six-run fifth inning, Valdez's continued breakout, Endy taking control of the starting catcher job, Ashcraft's ability to settle in and a bullpen that nearly gave another game away. 00:00 Pirates survive a wild 11-7 win 02:25 Esmerlyn Valdez sparks the comeback 07:20 Braxton Ashcraft battles through six 12:35 Pirates score six in the fifth 15:15 This offense can beat teams in different ways 18:45 Evan Sisk escapes against Kyle Schwarber 22:10 Gregory Soto and Johan Ramirez struggle 27:25 Endy Rodriguez delivers the biggest swing 30:20 Pirates offense continues its June surge 34:20 Bubba Chandler faces Christopher Sánchez Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode we break down the results from last week's Democratic primaries in New York City, which saw candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America prevail in key congressional races (as well as downballot in local and state races). We break down what happened, review the deranged responses from both the right and centrist Democrats, the place of Israel/Palestine in these contests (and the ludicrous if expected charges of anti-semitism that followed), and consider what it might mean for the left in the age of Trump—however much longer that lasts—and more.

It's Monday, June 29th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Hungarian homosexual pride march draws 100,000 On June 27th, at least 100,000 Hungarians gathered in 100-degree heat in Budapest to celebrate their 31st annual Homosexual Pride march, reports the Associated Press. It's the first such event since conservative Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was defeated in the April election. To his credit, Orban had prohibited the portrayal or "promotion" of homosexuality and gender transition to minors in schools and media aimed at children. Plus, the Hungarian Parliament amended the civil registry law so that official documents permanently record a person's "sex at birth" which ensures that citizens cannot legally pretend to be the opposite sex. And the Parliament limited adoption to married heterosexual couples. Hungary does not allow homosexual marriage. Sadly, under new leadership, all of that may change. Leviticus 18:22 says, “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.” Venezuelan death toll skyrocketed to 1,430 people Tragically, the death toll in those two major Venezuelan earthquakes last Wednesday has skyrocketed from 164 to 1,430 as of June 27th, reports NBC News. Plus, there are an astounding 51,000 people missing. According to the BBC, emergency teams are still searching for people trapped in buildings that collapsed in the earthquakes. Antoan Marín said, "Rescue workers are overwhelmed. They are pulling people out with their bare hands.” Over 2,000 rescue units from 21 international groups are on the ground in Venezuela or en route. Samaritan's Purse airlifted an Emergency Hospital to Venezuela On Saturday, the Samaritan's Purse cargo plane airlifted life-saving supplies, including an Emergency Field Hospital, to Venezuela. Hospitals in the hardest hit areas were already strained before the earthquakes. Now, many are damaged and overwhelmed with people in desperate need of care. The Samaritan's Purse Emergency Field Hospital is capable of treating more than 100 people each day. It will be equipped with multiple operating rooms, a critical care unit, pharmacy, and laboratory. The ministry has also airlifted emergency shelter material, solar lights, and blankets to provide relief to families who are suffering. Franklin Graham, the president of Samaritan's Purse, said, “Roads have been split wide open and hundreds of buildings have collapsed. People are living on the streets—terrified of aftershocks. It's heartbreaking to see the suffering and loss. We love the people of this country, and we want to do all that we can to help in Jesus' Name.” Send a much-needed gift to help equip Samaritan's Purse in their rescue efforts in Venezuela through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. 1 John 3:17 says, “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?” Three Democratic Socialists win in New York Three Democratic Socialists of America candidates beat establishment Democrats in New York City's June 23rd primary, winning with the backing from the city's democratic socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, reports USA Today. Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier won in the 7th and 13th Congressional Districts for the U.S. House. Aber Kawas won in New York State Senate District 12. Chevalier and Valdez vowed to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And Chevalier once said, “I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me." Plus, she wants to close down prisons and abolish the police. In 2017, Kawas, a Muslim woman, told a panel that the 9/11 attacks were America's fault, the result of "capitalism and racism and White supremacy ... and Islamophobia." Democrat Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, said this on social media: "Anti-Israel. Anti-America. Anti-Western Civilization. Why am I the only Democrat in the U.S. Senate that refuses to excuse this or defend any of those self-identified communists?" And Republican Congressman Randy Fine of Florida sounded off as well. FINE: “It's a sad day for America. I mean, these people are bad people. We've got to be worried about the future of the country. “The Democrats are no longer the loyal opposition. In many cases, they are the enemy of the country. And I don't think it's hyperbole to say that. These are people who hate America and who seek its destruction.” Texas considers removing American Revolution from mandated history lessons The Texas State Board of Education is proposing changes to mandated school curriculum for the 5.5 million Texas students that would remove lessons about the American Revolution and would marginalize our Founding Fathers, reports Christian talk show host Todd Starnes. Conservatives are alleging that three Republicans joined Democrats to push through radical changes recommended by the Council on American Islamic Relations. Julie Pickren, a conservative Republican on the Texas Board of Education, exposed the group behind these radical changes. PICKREN: “About nine months ago, a foreign terrorist organization called the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which the FBI says is the face of the Muslim Brotherhood in America, they got involved in this process. And they got involved pretty heavily. They started showing up at all of our meetings and testifying, sending a lot of emails, making a lot of phone calls and text messages.” The Texas School Board specifically objected to the stories of Valley Forge as well as the battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill. Instead, the board wanted to provide lessons on modern-day Americans like Oprah Winfrey rather than our first president George Washington. References to the Black Robed Regiment were also removed. That regiment was comprised of a group of Protestant pastors who supported and fought for the American Revolution. Julie Pikren revealed that the three liberal Republicans who sided with the radical Muslim re-write of American history were Pam Little, Will Hickman, and Keven Ellis. Together with the five Democrats, they formed an 8-person majority voting bloc. Mrs. Pikren explained the motivation of the Muslim lobbyist group. PIKREN: “The terrorists, they don't want U.S. history taught. They don't want founding documents taught. They don't want presidents and founding fathers taught. And it's very sad that these Republicans are aligning with the mandate from a terrorist organization and joining the Democrats in passing this.” Send a polite, but firm short email to these three liberal Republicans on the Texas Board of Education to let them know your objections. pam.little@sboe.texas.gov, will.hickman@tea.texas.gov, ellisSBOE@gmail.com You can find their email addresses in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Julian the Apostate acknowledged Christ's victory over paganism And finally, 1,663 years ago, on June 26th A.D. 363, Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate died on the battlefield in modern-day Iraq. As his name suggests, he spent his life seeking to restore paganism in the Roman Empire and undo Christian reforms brought by Emperor Constantine the Great. However, in his dying words, Julian admitted, “Thou hast won, O Galilean,” referencing Jesus Christ. These words represented the victory of Christ over Caesar in the first 300 years of history since the Resurrection.

Esmerlyn Valdez and Tyler Callihan are giving the Pirates exactly what they need while Spencer Horwitz and Oneil Cruz are sidelined. Alex Stumpf breaks down the power both young hitters have shown, what stands out about their swings and why Pittsburgh's depth finally looks different from a year ago. Ryan O'Hearn's two-homer performance helped the Pirates avoid a sweep, but the bigger long-term question is whether Valdez and Callihan can turn this opportunity into permanent roles. With Horwitz and Cruz expected back in July, the next few weeks could reshape the Pirates' outfield and bench.

The Pirates lost 2 of 3 to the Reds this weekend further showing they are an average ballclub. Should we be expecting more than this? We haven't seen many .500 or better seasons in the last 3 decades, but a team with this much offensive firepower, and alleged good starting pitching, should be better than 42-42. The Pirates start a scary stretch tonight when they play the first of four in Philadelphia. Esmerlyn Valdez hit a 461-foot home run yesterday, only 20ish feet shy of the record-long set by Sammy Sosa in the early 2000's. We reminisced about big blasts at PNC Park over the last 25 years. David Pagnotta from the NHL Network joined the show. We are just a few days away from the start of NHL Free Agency. David expects the Penguins to be among the teams making an offer sheet for Jason Robertson, who is coming off a 45-goal campaign. The price tag on a contract could be north of $14M/year as the Stars also explore trade options for their restricted free agent. It could also cost up to 4 1st round picks going back to Dallas. How many teams can afford Robertson's services? David suggested Bryan Rust or Rickard Rakell being one of the players going back to the Stars if the Penguins make the move for Robertson. David believes Robertson will end up somewhere in the Eastern Conference if he doesn't return to Dallas for the 2026-2027 season. Is Darnell Nurse a name to keep in mind for the Penguins? Who else does Kyle Dubas have eyes on entering free agency?
Ralph speaks to economist Dean Baker about the hypocrisies behind the supposed Social Security shortfall and Republicans' "waste, fraud, and abuse" panic. Then, Ralph talks to journalist and ocean activist David Helvarg about his new book: Forest of the Sea: The Remarkable Life and Imperiled Future of Kelp.Dean Baker is a Senior Economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, where he authors “Beat the Press,” his regular commentary on economic reporting. He has written several books, including Getting Back to Full Employment: A Better Bargain for Working People, The End of Loser Liberalism: Making Markets Progressive, False Profits: Recovering from the Bubble Economy, and The Conservative Nanny State: How the Wealthy Use the Government to Stay Rich and Get Richer.People will hear big numbers. They'll hear “$300 billion” and they'll go “Oh my God, that's a lot of money. That's money out of my pocket. It's causing the government deficit,” whatever. That's because they haven't given it any context…If we could, in any conceivable world, afford to pay $500 billion to increase the military budget, surely we can afford to pay $300 billion to ensure that everyone gets their Social Security benefits. It's just a case of: put it in context. I'm not going to say it's a small number. It isn't. But it's smaller— $300 billion is smaller than $500 billion, and that's really not a disputable point.Dean BakerWhere [DOGE] had the biggest consequences is with foreign aid. [Musk] just got a big kick out of that— USAID, he just shut it down. He boasted about that. He goes, “Last weekend I fed USAID into the wood chipper.” That's almost verbatim what he said. Now, what this meant was that you have people— and you could find waste in that program just like any other program, but this is a program that provided millions of people with medicine, with nutrition, with healthcare. And suddenly they couldn't get it…And Elon Musk was boasting that he killed that program. That's great. But millions of people, I mean, thankfully, I don't think it's millions yet, but if that program doesn't get restarted or funded somewhere else, you're going to see millions of people lose their lives.Dean BakerSo we're saying we have people on Medicaid that are committing fraud? No one gets a check from Medicaid. What would that even mean? Like, you signed up for Medicaid and you weren't eligible, so that would mean that they might be making a payment to a doctor or hospital that they don't actually have to make because you didn't qualify? I'm sure that happens sometimes but it's not like someone's living high on the hog because they were able to get Medicaid to pay for their doctor's visit when it actually shouldn't have.Dean BakerDavid Helvarg is a journalist and ocean activist. He is the founder and executive director of Blue Frontier, an ocean policy and media group, and producer of Rising Tide: The Ocean Podcast. He has produced more than 40 documentaries for media outlets, including PBS and the Discovery Channel. And he has written several books, including Blue Frontier, The War Against the Greens, and Forest of the Sea: The Remarkable Life and Imperiled Future of Kelp.I've been pushing with my colleagues in journalism the idea of the “blue beat.” The only resource in the ocean not fully exploited at this point is good investigative reporting and narrative storytelling. Because people don't connect with it, a lot of people think the environment ends at the shoreline. And that's really where 95% of the living space on the planet begins.David HelvargPeople at least know that corals are in trouble and they have some sense of what a coral reef is. People don't know that the planet has this other forest crisis—that kelp forests cover an area larger than the Amazon basin, and they're also being impacted by these marine heat waves that are growing every year. And as you add more heat to the system, it gets more energetic, which is why we have more and more extreme storms. I covered Katrina in 2005. I thought that would be a turning point (we had 1,800 people killed and a million environmental refugees). But the propaganda by the oil and gas industry is such that we keep having these disasters from a warming ocean planet, we see the melting of the Arctic ice, and instead of an alarm bell, it became a dinner bell for all the shipping industries and people who want to exploit the oil and gas in the increasingly open Arctic waters. So we're in this crisis point. I'm more frustrated than despairing because we know what the solutions are. It's creating the political will to enact them.David HelvargWhen I started Blue Frontier 20 years ago, the main threats were overfishing and pollution—oil, chemical, plastic, nutrient pollution. Today, that's being overwhelmed by these marine heat waves.David HelvargNews 6/26/26* Our top story this week comes to us from New York City, where democratic socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani has pulled off a stunning hat trick, with all three candidates for Congress endorsed by the Mayor winning their primaries on Tuesday. The most surprising victory is that of Darializa Avila Chevalier, who ousted the powerful incumbent Congressman Adriano Espaillat, head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, in New York's 13th congressional district. This primary had turned ugly, with Espaillat's campaign seeking to weaponize anti-Haitian racism in the Dominican community against Avila Chevalier, per the Haitian Times, despite the fact that she is not in fact Haitian. Impressive in another way is the victory of UAW organizer and New York State Assemblywoman Claire Valdez in New York's 7th district. Much has been made of this race being a proxy battle between Mamdani and his onetime supporter, retiring Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez, who backed her protégé, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso to succeed her in this seat. Reynoso enjoyed the support of a broad range of New York elected officials – including Velazquez along with New York Attorney General Letitia James, Congressman Jerrold Nadler, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, and a broad range of unions and civil society groups, most notably the Working Families Party – but was absolutely trounced by Valdez, who won by over 20 points with the support of Mamdani and NYC-DSA. Meanwhile, in the 10th district, Brad Lander won by an even greater margin, outrunning incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman by over 30 points while running on a pro-Palestine platform in the most Jewish congressional district in America. These victories send a clear signal to the sclerotic, ossified leadership of the Democratic Party. The only question now is will they listen.* Beyond the congressional races, DSA won a remarkable number of races at the state level. According to Democratic Left, DSA will send as many as seven new legislators to Albany this cycle, for a total of “four state senators and 11 or 12 members of the state assembly.” As the magazine notes, this means that the “2027-2028 socialist bloc in Albany will be the second largest in a state legislature in U.S. history…behind 20 members in Wisconsin in 1919 and ahead of 14 members in Wisconsin in 1911.” Within New York City, DSA endorsed candidates won seven out of eight races for seats in the state legislature, per NYC-DSA. All told, it was a thunderous victory for the left in New York and raises the clout of Zohran and his compatriots to dizzying heights.* Meanwhile, in Washington DC, NOTUS reports the local DSA has exploded in membership, adding nearly 1,000 new members since this time last year. This growing bloc flexed its political muscle in the recent Democratic primaries, electing DSA members Janeese Lewis George for Mayor and Aparna Raj for the Ward 1 seat on the DC Council, as well as Oye Owolewa for an at-large seat. Axios notes that they are already eying, “two more openings — to fill Lewis George's Ward 4 seat and the at-large seat of Congress-bound Robert White.” If these votes go in DSA's favor, Lewis George could assume the mayoralty with a progressive majority of seven out of 13 members on the Council. Since her victory last Tuesday, Lewis George has emphasized her plan to lower utility costs through “expanding government solar,” and “balcony solar” for apartment tenants, optimizing efficiency at local government agencies and maximizing federal housing grants.* In Maryland, the results for DSA and progressives more generally were not quite so decisive but the left notched key victories nonetheless. DSA endorsed candidate McKayla Wilkes won her primary for the Charles County Commission and incumbent State Delegate Gabriel Acevero won reelection to his seat. Senators Dalya Attar and Nancy King, both centrist incumbents, lost to progressive challengers, per Maryland Matters. Will Jawando in Montgomery County won the County Executive position with broad support from the Maryland political establishment and progressives, while Maryland Senate Majority Leader Bill Ferguson fended off his first real challenge in years only after a last minute pledge to reverse his position on Maryland congressional redistricting. However, in the 5th congressional district, Steny Hoyer protégé and “AIPAC-backed” Adrian Boafo won the primary to succeed his mentor in Congress. According to the Jerusalem Post, “AIPAC poured $5.7 million into his campaign through its super PAC.” Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn came in a distant third place, despite scoring the endorsement of Nancy Pelosi. In short, the left has more work to do in order to build a political machine in Maryland as they have in New York and DC.* The next major contest between the factions of the party will occur next week in Colorado, where Melat Kiros, a DSA-backed progressive challenger born in 1997, is taking on Congresswoman Diana DeGette, who first took office that same year, per Zeteo. According to a poll conducted on behalf of the Kiros-aligned Justice Democrats, she leads DeGette by five points and she has now won the endorsement of Senator Bernie Sanders. Senator and former Governor John Hickenlooper is also facing a progressive primary challenge from State Senator Julie Gonzales and, according to the polls, he holds but a single digit lead, the Coloradan reports. We will be watching both of these races closely.* Meanwhile in Congress, the Senate has passed a new resolution on Iran, this time directing Trump to “remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities against Iran unless explicitly authorized by Congress, other than to defend America, an ally or partner from ‘imminent attack,'” according to the Wall Street Journal. The Journal notes that while the resolution is nonbinding, it was previously passed by the House, marking “the first time both chambers of Congress have passed the same measure to curb” presidential power to wage war on the Islamic Republic. The resolution passed 50-48, with the support of Republican Senators Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Rand Paul. Senators Mitch McConnell and Dave McCormick were absent, and Senator John Fetterman again broke ranks with the Democrats to vote no.* Turning from the Senate floor to the shop floor, the United Auto Workers (UAW) concluded their 39th Constitutional Convention last week, with a momentous vote to divest the union's investments from Israel bonds. UAW's divestment decision is the latest victory in the campaign to disentangle the finances of American organized labor from the state of Israel, following the United Electrical Workers (UE) in 2015 and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) in 2023. UAW members also heard from Abdul El-Sayed, the candidate the union has endorsed in the Michigan Senate race. This contentious campaign will not be over until August, but El-Sayed, occupying the progressive lane, has moved into the lead and appears to be consolidating his lead, winning the endorsement of Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen just this week, per the Traverse City Record-Eagle. Van Hollen himself has recently begun hinting that he may seek higher office, recently telling NOTUS that he is “kicking the tires” on a 2028 presidential bid.* Turning to foreign affairs, this week saw the fall of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Starmer, a centrist who was elected Labour Party leader in 2020 following the ouster of leftist Jeremy Corbyn, has held the post of Prime Minister since 2024 when Labour won an historic landslide. Since then however, his personal approval rating and that of the party has cratered, creating space for the rise of the far-right Reform UK party. The BBC reports Starmer will remain in his post until a new leader is chosen from within the party, with the presumptive successor being MP Andy Burnham who recently beat back a challenge in his own seat by a Reform candidate by a large margin. Starmer is now set to be the shortest serving Labour PM in British history, while Burnham is set to become the UK's seventh Prime Minister in the last ten years, both indications of the precariousness of the post-Brexit British political order.* Our final two stories come to us from Latin America. First, in Bolivia, the country's union confederation has maintained a general strike against the right-wing government of Rodrigo Paz for nearly two months over his administration's initiatives to privatize government services and rescind the land reform program instituted over the last several decades of rule by the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS). On June 19th, journalist Ollie Vargas reported that the government had blinked and signed an agreement to withdraw these plans in exchange for the unions ending the general strike. However, Vargas notes that “most affiliated unions state that they want to maintain strike until [the Paz government] resigns.”* Finally, in Colombia, the right-wing candidate Abelardo de la Espriella emerged victorious from Sunday's runoff presidential election, defeating leftist Ivan Cepeda, the handpicked successor of sitting President Gustavo Petro, by less than one percentage point. In the immediate wake of the election, President Petro “alleged that Israel interfered” in the election, citing “irregularities in the country's vote counting process and calling for a full audit and recount,” per Drop Site News. However, by Wednesday, Cepeda himself formally conceded, framing his decision to do so as “an act of democratic responsibility, to contribute to harmony, peace and dialogue among Colombians,” Al Jazeera reports. As one of his first acts, Abelardo de la Espriella has committed to reestablishing diplomatic relations with Israel, which had been severed under President Petro.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

The roof is collapsing on the Democrat establishment — and the inmates are now running the asylum. George Conway gets blown out by a "Team CDC" candidate, the DCCC fumbles Matt Dunlap's résumé in Maine, and a fresh crop of DSA primary winners is heading to Washington and Albany with the wildest platforms you've ever heard. We break down the clips, the chaos, and what this socialist takeover means for 2028. Plus: legendary Halo and Destiny composer Marty O'Donnell joins the show to talk music, video games, and his run for Congress in Nevada's 3rd District.
It's an Emmajority Report Thursday on The Majority Report On today's program: Hakeem Jeffries tries to downplay the genocide's role played in motivating voters to support DSA-aligned candidates in Tuesday's primaries by touting pro-genocide Rep. Ritchie Torres' landslide victory over an anti-genocide candidate. Jeffries implies that Israel's genocide is a wealthy voter issue whereas working class people are not interested in that issue which is in direct contrast with polling data. DSA co-chairs Grace Mausser and Gustavo Gordillo join the program to reflect on Tuesday's huge victories in New York City. Tracie McMillan, journalist and author, joins the program to discuss her pieces published in The Guardian US on property management companies pillaging renters through absurd fees; 'Extremely overwhelmed': apartment renters face rising tide of fees and US renters call for action to combat surge of 'take it or leave it' apartment fees In the Fun Half: Brand Sutton and Matt Binder join. Morning Joe Scarborough claims to be fed up with false accusations of antisemitism towards voters and politicians who take a stand on Israel's genocide. The message is slightly refreshing although three years late and ignorantly focused exclusively on Benjamin Netanyahu. Dana Bash tries to corner Morris Katz by saying why is AIPAC is so important to voters and not other sources of dark money. Katz argues that crypto and private equity get the same attention as AIPAC. Katz adds in regard to AIPAC that if people see you abandon one group, they know it's only a matter of time before they abandon their group. Claire Valdez is asked on CNN if she can fit within the same tent as other Democrats like John Fetterman and Josh Gottheimer. Valdez responds by saying that the Democratic base disagrees with Fetterman and Gottheimer and they would be wise to listen to the people who put them in their offices. Candace Owens is now claiming to have memory holed the months following Charlie's death which conveniently allows her to "recover" conversations from that time regarding Erika Kirk. Kooooooooky.
