## Resource

This week Victor and Sami discuss how the new Socialist Left emerged from the Democrats catering to the excesses of their fringe, creating a political Frankenstein’s monster. They also provide an update on the state of the Iran war, as wartime strategic decision making necessitates the U.S. to retaliate disproportionately. As part of the Saturday Special, Victor examines the connections between John Quincy Adams and George H. W. Bush and the entertaining exchange between Representative Gill and Smithsonian’s Director of the Museum of American History.
