The Democrats' Dilemmas (Guest David Harsanyi)

The Democrats' Dilemmas (Guest David Harsanyi)

David Harsanyi, senior writer at The Washington Examiner and co-host of the You’re Wrong podcast with Mollie Hemingway, joins the Show by phone to talk about new allegations of sexual assault against Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner (D), and the Democratic Party's willingness to overlook his issues in order to appeal to their younger, socialist activist base. They also discuss whether New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani or Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) leads the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) cohort of the Democratic Party. David argues that this movement is not just about ideology, but also about a desire to destroy the existing order and create a new, more radical society.   See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

New Allegations Against Platner

Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner (D) has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman he was in a previous relationship with. Will Democrats continue to stand by the socialist senatorial candidate? Many Americans, especially those from immigrant backgrounds, have a unique perspective on American exceptionalism. They understand the value of freedom and the importance of preserving it. In contrast, some Americans, particularly those from younger generations, seem to be embracing socialist ideologies without fully understanding their implications. Producer David Doll discusses his Independence Day festivities this past weekend as well as who his generation views at the ideological leader of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) cohort of the Democratic Party. We’re joined by Don Spini and Logan Marcus, Esq. from Sun Valley Wealth. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Happy SemiQuincentennial!

Happy SemiQuincenntennial from The Seth Leibsohn Show! As we celebrate our nation's birthday, Seth takes a hard look at the state of Americanism and the ideologies that threaten it. He reflects on the growing trend of nullification, a doctrine that has been used to justify everything from slavery to segregation, and wonders if Democrats have lost sight of what America truly stands for. Seth discusses the most patriotic and all-American movies with Producer David Doll. We're joined by Johnny Estes, Vice President of Operations of CMI Gold & Silver. Congressman Andy Biggs (R), representing Arizona's 5th District, and candidate for governor, calls-in to discuss the latest in his gubernatorial campaign and to commemorate the anniversary of the passage of the Working Families Tax Cut Act, a monumental bill that has saved American families thousands of dollars in reduced income taxes. He also shares his vision for Arizona's governorship, focusing on affordability, job creation, and reducing regulations.

The State of the Semiquincentennial (Guest Charles R. Kesler)

Charles R. Kesler, Ph.D., Senior Fellow of the Claremont Institute, and Editor of the Claremont Review of Books, joins the show by phone to discuss the state of America's 250th birthday celebrations and the rise of Marxism at the ballot box. Seth notes a sense of disillusionment and disconnection from the country's founding ideals. Dr. Kessler agrees, citing the decline of civic education and the proliferation of revisionist history as contributing factors. He also highlights the need for a renewed emphasis on the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution, which he believes can help restore a sense of national pride and purpose. The discussion touches on the rise of socialism and the appeal of Marxist ideology among young people, particularly in the context of the 2020's. Dr. Kessler attributes this trend to the influence of cultural Marxism, which has merged with woke politics and prejudice against certain groups. He also notes the importance of understanding the distinction between economic and moral socialism, and how the latter has become a dominant force in modern left-wing ideology.

Sanctuary Cities, TR, and Fair Food

The Democratic Party's stance on sanctuary cities and the abolition of the carceral system is a misguided approach that neglects the needs of the law-abiding citizens. President Trump attended the grand opening ceremony for the newly-built Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota today. Seth references the words of Roosevelt, who emphasized the importance of protecting society from the enemy of the law-abiding citizen - the criminal. We’re joined by Don Spini from Sun Valley Wealth. Producer David Doll talks about the best and worst foods at the Great American State Fair, according to The Washington Post.
