David Harsanyi, senior writer at The Washington Examiner and co-host of the You’re Wrong podcast with Mollie Hemingway, on his latest Examiner piece, “America needs a new Red Scare.” Seth and David dive into the growing threat of communism in the United States, discussing how it's being whitewashed in schools and the media, and how this is having a profound impact on the country's youth. The conversation also touches on the dangers of socialism and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) wing of the Democratic Party, and how they're gaining traction. David shares his insights on the topic, pointing out that the DSA's platform is not just about expanding Medicare and creating government-run grocery stores, but also includes more radical ideas like abolishing the police and ending incarceration. They also discusses the importance of educating people about the dangers of communism, citing the lack of awareness about the Victims of Communism Museum and the Holocaust Museum.
