The Platner Accusations. The Smithsonian's Bias.

Seth takes a critical look at the recent accusations of sexual abuse against U.S. Senate candidate Graham Plattner in Maine and the media's handling of it, highlighting the double standard that exists when it comes to reporting on allegations against politicians when they are Democrats. The conversation touches on the idea that the Left has a long history of dismissing allegations against its own, while being quick to condemn those against Republicans. The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History has been accused of promoting “extreme ideological activism” in a recent report from the White House’s Domestic Policy Council. We’re joined by Don Spini from Sun Valley Wealth. Seth talks about the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture’s 2020 guidelines for talking about race.

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.
