Not Your Daddy’s America

Trump Helps THIS Leader Become A Dictator

Really American Founder and Broadcaster Justin Horwitz and Hellenic Council Director Endy Zemenides are joined by founding Director of the Middle East Institute's Turkey Program, Gö Nül Tol to discuss the alarming rise of a dictatorship in Turkey under Erdogan, and what it means to America's struggling democracy. In this all-new episode of Not Your Daddy's America we’ll draw stark parallels with the escalating political crisis in Turkey, and the rise of authoritarianism in the US. As protesters continue to flood the streets of Turkey, opposing President Erdogan's draconian policies, Horwitz and Zemenides put a spotlight on how the American corporate media is ignoring it all. Our guest shares deep insights into Erdogan's alarming consolidation of power, and explains how the situation in Turkey serves as a cautionary tale for emerging autocracies around the world. Gö Nül Tol points out the courageous spirit of Turkish protesters, particularly younger folks, who are battling against the dismantling of their democracy. We’ll also talk about the alarming non-response from international powers, made worse by the lack of any reaction from the European Union or the United States. And our hosts slam the short-sightedness of how these nations are prioritizing strategic military relationships over core democratic values. Horwitz and Zemenides discuss the threats posed by leaders who disregard constitutional norms and judicial authority. They call it a worrisome reality, where democracy—once thought infallible in established powers like the U.S.—is being torn away by figures like Trump.  You’ll also hear our plea for all to acknowledge the bond of global democracy, and for our audiences to amplify the voices of those brave people fighting back against tyranny all over the globe. Whether in Turkey, or our own backyards.  And we urge everyone to not grow complacent, and to consider the awful consequences of turning a blind eye to these struggles for democracy.  Be sure to tune in next week for more one-of-its- kind analysis and powerful calls to action, as we navigate the tumultuous road ahead for modern democracy.

In this episode, we’ll take a look at the implications of Trump ignoring orders of federal judges, as Congressman Suozzi provides first hand insights into the challenges these actions pose for the balance of power. Justin and Endy examine the internal discord within the Democratic Party, and propose much-needed strategic shifts and new media strategies in order to regain voter trust.  Congressman Suozzi paints a vivid picture of the American socio-political terrain that has transformed over the last decade. He traces the roots of the Democratic Party’s waning popularity back to a failure to create a clear, cohesive message.  Our hosts, along with Congressman Suozzi, argue for a return to the Party’s roots—focusing on bolstering the middle class, and advocating for policies that support working people across the nation. We’ll also touch on the ways elected officials can reconnect with everyday Americans, many who feel left behind and without a voice. As Suozzi passionately explains, it’s about constructing new messaging that resonates with the masses.  This show promises to bring refreshing and blunt discussions on what truly matters in American politics. Justin, Endy, and their lineup of awesome guests offer not just epic commentary, but the solutions and calls to action necessary for change.  What do you think about the paths proposed by Congressman Suozzi and our hosts?

We’ll highlight her brutal call-out of Donald at a rally this week in Atlanta, where the VP said, "If you've got something to say to me, say it to my face." Kenny and Brooklyn Dad give an update on Kamala Harris’s imminent vice-presidential pick and share their thoughts on the front-runners. "It's an embarrassment of riches on the Democratic side," Brooklyn Dad said. “Meanwhile, Trump and MAGA Republicans are flailing.” We’ll also discuss how Democrats have cleverly coalesced around a new descriptive word for Trump, cover Donald's bizarre obsession with Hannibal Lecter, and share some shocking Olympic results. “I heard we got gold in gymnastics, but not in shooting,” Kenny said. What the hell?” We’ll share some news from this week’s Kamala for President events and highlight a very bold statement she made on border security. “Absolute mic drop moment from her,” Kenny called it. Finally, this week’s Raggedy Bish Award goes to evangelicals, and you are not going to want to miss the reason why. Stay defiant my friends! We’ll see you here next week.

Of course this week we’ll be talking about how the Presidential race was completely upended, and how it is already working in Democrat’s favor.  “The democratic party was basically infused with B12, just a shot in the arm,” Brooklyn Dad said. “I've never seen the party as excited as it is now.” We’ll compare JD Vance to Jeb Bush, run through the pro’s and con’s on the list of potential VP nominees, and absolutely dismantle some of the GOP and right-wing media attacks on Kamala Harris. Our hosts share their feelings of lingering shock from hearing the news that President Biden was stepping out of the race, and share our biggest fears about the campaign ahead. We’ll also talk about how the right-wing media has already started unleashing some of the same sexist and racist attacks on Kamala that they used on Hillary Clinton in 2016. Kenny predicts just how poorly Donald will fare against Kamala Harris in a head-to-head matchup, and he doesn’t mince any words. “We knew from the beginning of the first Trump candidacy,” he said, “that this guy was completely unqualified, regardless of his mental state. All of the people in his administration have said he has no idea what he's doing. You have all of this evidence...that this guy is suffering from clear symptoms of not only dementia, But malignant narcissism.” Brooklyn Dad has a promise for the trolls who spread lies and propaganda about Kamala Harris. “I'm gonna pick and choose my battles,” he said. “But I'm not sitting back and letting them attack our candidate. I am going back at them as hard as possible. And it's not difficult because now who's the old man running?” And as always, you are NOT going to want to miss the winner of this week’s You Raggedy Bish award.
