Podcasts > The Seth Leibsohn Show
Wednesday, September 2, 2026
Hugh Hallman, Attorney, Educator, and former Mayor of Tempe, joins Seth in studio for the full hour to talk about the high-profile murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and their economic talking points, and more! They examine the idea that the DSA's views on issues like immigration, healthcare, and education are not only unrealistic but also potentially damaging to society. The discussion also touches on the DSA's all-encompassing ideology that seeks to transform society in its image. One of the key points made is the importance of understanding the economic system and how it affects people's lives; they discuss how the DSA's views on capitalism are misguided and how their ideology is based on a flawed understanding of history and economics. They also examine the consequences of the DSA's ideas, including the potential for increased poverty and decreased economic mobility.
