Summary

Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey discuss the growing influence of Democratic Socialists following a string of primary victories in New York and what it could mean for the future of both major political parties. They also examine signs of weakness within the Republican coalition and debate who might shape the party after Trump. Later, the hosts react to Congress passing the War Powers Act, question whether it will affect the conflict with Iran, and explore growing concerns about artificial intelligence, education, and declining critical thinking skills among students.
