The Weekend News Round Up
WNR 08-07-26 The Socialist Surge, the Deep-State Slip, and Canada’s Death Machine
Rick Robinson is joined by Townhall’s Amy Curtis and the Bloviating Zeppelin for an irreverent but increasingly serious Weekend News Roundup. The panel begins with Wisconsin’s chaotic Democratic gubernatorial primary, Francesca Hong’s campaign, David Crowley’s chances, Bernie Sanders’ refusal to endorse Hong, and the political fallout from the Madison protest encampment. The conversation expands to Abdul El-Sayed’s showing in Michigan, Hassan Piker’s rhetoric, the Democratic Socialists of America, and whether traditional Democrats are beginning to resist the party’s socialist wing. Rick, Amy, and BZ also examine Hillary Clinton’s apparent acknowledgment of a political bureaucracy that must be purged, questions surrounding congressional vacancies and incapacitated lawmakers, academic fraud allegations involving former Cambridge professor Jason Arday, and the consequences of elevating identity over qualifications The discussion then turns to a disturbing Canadian case involving Medical Assistance in Dying, the dangers of government-controlled health care, Medicare for All, insurance denials, Obamacare, tariffs, minimum-wage policies, and the affordability debate. Along the way, the panel finds time for naked steakhouses, summer movies, Jim Cramer’s SpaceX recommendation, and the usual collection of stories other newsrooms lack the courage, vocabulary, or sufficiently robust content disclaimer to discuss properly. The views and opinions expressed are those of the host(s) and guest(s).
