Colorado Progressive Wins: Reading the Anti-Establishment Wave

Trump’s 4th Threesome · Jul 2, 2026 News

29-year-old DSA candidate Milot Kiros crushed 15-term Democratic incumbent Diana DeGette by 10 points in Denver. Dan Pfeiffer argues the real driver isn't ideology but a rage at the Democratic establishment's failure to deliver — and at Gaza. Not being a fighter has become a losing position.

Birthright Citizenship Ruling and the MAGA Freakout

At 30:20 · chapter starts 23:37

The Supreme Court struck down Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, but the reaction from Trump allies was anything but conciliatory. Jon reads from The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh, who declared America is 'committing suicide,' and from The Federalist's Sean Davis, who floated banning all pregnant foreign women from entering the country and requiring sterilization of foreign visitors. Jon reports that Stephen Miller has said he's 'looking into' these ideas, describing the situation as 'national self-obliteration.' The hosts dissect the political logic: with Trump underwater on every issue except border security, MAGA is trying to drag the conversation back to immigration. But the proposed remedy — targeting pregnant tourists — is grotesque and politically moronic. Jon cites even the Center for Immigration Studies, a far-right group, which puts birth tourism at about 20,000 cases per year out of 3.61 million total US births, well under 1%. Dan draws a direct historical parallel to Reagan's welfare queen myth: take the rarest, most outlandish example and use it to dismantle an entire constitutional right. Jon then walks through the Roberts majority's argument: once you adopt the dissent's logic about 'allegiance,' you could strip citizenship from children of legal permanent residents — and ultimately give Trump and Miller the power to decide who is American.

Birth Tourism Is a Manufactured Crisis

Even the Center for Immigration Studies — a far-right group — puts birth tourism at 20,000 cases a year. Out of 3.61 million US births, that's under 1%. The hosts compare the fearmongering to Reagan's welfare queen myth: take the rarest example and use it to dismantle an entire constitutional right.

Why the Israel-Killed-Kirk Theory Doesn't Hold Up

#2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aug 5, 2026 News

The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
