What this episode covers

Episode Transcript Charlie James: The Democrats have a real, serious problem with the Democratic Socialists of America, or just the Socialist Party. They're trying to get in in in the grassroots, in the ground floor, and blow up the building. Literally and figuratively. That's—that's what they—now, the first target are the Democrats. Then they're going to come after us. So we need to be alert. We need to be watching. You got all these people out there that are endorsing these socialist candidates. Somebody said the other day, if you took a Democrat from 1963 and you brought them to 2026, they'd be considered a conservative. If you took a Democrat from 2026 and took them back to 1963, they would be considered a nut. They'd be put in some sort of an insane asylum, and rightfully so. So you got people like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, AOC, endorsing people like Abdul El-Sayed in that Michigan Democratic Senate primary. In fact, they're endorsing this guy. He's running against Representative Haley Stevens to replace retiring Democratic Senator Gary Peters. And he's a rabid socialist. They're allowing their own destruction. Now, part of me says, "Yeah, this is good. I'm liking this." But this is a dangerous trend that is going on in this country. Socialism is growing by leaps and bounds. Pretty soon, you're going to see something you have not seen in this country. You're going to see the bumper stickers. You're going to see the t-shirts. You're going to see moms pushing strollers with a sticker on it that says, "I'm raising a socialist child." That is coming. That's right around the corner. And it's going to be driven primarily by the young women. Do you remember what Orwell said? George Orwell said it was always the women, and above all, the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents to the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies, and nosers-out of unorthodoxy. The young urban female, they're driving this movement right now. They were the ones behind Platner, they're the ones behind El-Sayed. These are the ones. Oh, they're the ones that are just flocking to Hasan Piker, which we're going to be talking about coming up in just a second. But they got a real, serious problem. And right now, that seems to be favoring the Republicans. Republicans have actually cut the lead that the Democrats have heading into the 2026 midterms. According to the latest Washington Post/Ipsos poll, the new poll showed Democrats have a 48 to 45 edge on Republicans—Democrats have 48, Republicans have 45—among registered voters. Which means the GOP has sliced into about 5 percentage points on the Democrats. Dems have a bigger lead among voters who are absolutely certain to vote, with a 53 to 45 cushion. That's what infuriates me about the Republicans. You cannot get them off their butts to vote! And coming up in just a little bit, I'm going to tell you probably one of the biggest voting blocs of Republicans that do not vote are the Christians. And Christians are the ones that need to be out there voting. They absolutely do. It boggles my mind that a Christian can come up and say, "Oh, I don't need to vote. I'm not going to bother." That's a bunch of BS. BS. Let's go to Anthony in Greer. Anthony, how are you? Anthony: Good sir, yourself? Charlie James: I'm really good. What's up, man? Anthony: Not much. I just wanted to make a comment about—you're talking about today's government and the socialism and everything. And I was watching a program this morning when I was younger, couldn't vote at the time, but Ross Perot had a very big direction about the way the world is going and if we did the whole NAFTA agreement and stuff, how the government would turn and the industries would leave the country and everything. And I just wanted to point out how much into fruition everything is coming into. Charlie James: Yeah. Yeah, it is. I mean, it's here among us. I appreciate it, Anthony. Thank you. Yeah, we're living in it. But here's ...
