Summary
Brian McWilliams, John Odermatt and Lou Perez kick off with some banter about Freedom Fest and explosive diarrhea. Then dive into the Democrat Socialists of America's newly unveiled 2026 platform, mocking its promises to eliminate bills, abolish ICE, and scrap the Senate and Supreme Court. They dig into NYC Mayor Mamdani's push to ban evictions and credit checks, debating property rights versus tenant protections and why socialism keeps failing in practice. The episode wraps with a lighter look at Greta Thunberg's burlesque-dancer sister, a Canadian tourist deported for assaulting a teen, and a defense attorney's tone-deaf celebration of a reduced murder sentence.
