## Resource

In this episode of "The John Doyle Show," John defends the accuracy of President Trump's rhetoric surrounding communism and its multi-thousand-year war against civilized society. While the midwit will tell you that communism has only been around since the 19th century when it was articulated on paper by Karl Marx, John explains how the perilous, dysfunctional, and resentful mentality that conjures this plague has actually been around longer than the human concept time itself. Later on in the episode, John reacts to California State Senator Scott Wiener being accosted in public for not being sufficiently radical on the issue of Israel vs. Palestine, an issue that is particularly pertinent to the role of a California state legislator.
