The dangers of progressivism and its ties to Marxism and socialism. Seth explores the legacy of Woodrow Wilson, who he believes embodied the Progressive movement's desire to update democracy and discard the founding principles of the U.S. Seth also touches on the topic of violence and its increasing normalization in politics, referencing recent incidents and the rise of "violence chic." Political violence is ‘cool’ again on the Left. He critiques the Democratic Party's embracing of candidates with problematic views, including Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and New Jersey congressional candidate Adam Hamawy, and questions the party's leadership for not speaking out against these issues. Seth takes on criticisms of the Iran war. We're joined by Johnny Estes, Vice President of Operations, and Shannon Estes, President of CMI Gold & Silver. Michael B. Mukasey’s piece “The ‘Blind Sheikh’ and the Candidate” in The Wall Street Journal.
