## Resource

The Trump administration's Treasury Department has launched "Operation Economic Outcast," a sweeping new effort to sever Iran's economic lifelines and isolate Tehran from the global economy. On this episode, we break down what the sanctions mean, how Texas AG Ken Paxton and Michael Lucci are framing data centers as critical infrastructure in the competition with Communist China, and why the Democrat Party's 2028 bench is already in disarray. We also cover a viral moment from inside the Democratic Socialists of America, where a member was caught on camera saying their political takeover will be "a violent process." Plus, meet the DSA organizer dubbed "Lulu Lenin" — a 25-year-old chocolate heiress and NYU graduate defending her privileged background by invoking "noblesse oblige." Finally, we discuss the American Federation of Teachers' new "Shop Smart, Not Target" boycott campaign, led by union president Randi Weingarten, and why critics are calling it corporate hostage-taking rather than principled activism. Topics covered in this episode: — Treasury's "Operation Economic Outcast" and the new Iran sanctions — Ken Paxton and data center policy in Texas — Newsom vs. Buttigieg staff rivalry ahead of 2028 — Chris Van Hollen and the DSA endorsement question — DSA's "violent process" comments — "Lulu Lenin" and the noblesse oblige controversy — Randi Weingarten and the AFT's Target boycott Follow the show for daily conservative political analysis and news you won't get from the mainstream media. 0:00 - Intro 0:40 - Iran Economic Sanctions 1:39 - Abdul gets Roasted on Fox News  3:51 - Texas and Data Centers 6:22 - 2028 Dem Slapfight 8:26 - Champagne Socialists Fight Club 11:53 - Randi fights Target
