Socialism IMPLODES in Wisconsin

**Michael Duncan** (0:00)
The DEM establishment finally gets one back in Wisconsin. They defeat Francesca Hong.

**Comfortably Smug** (0:05)
Half your party is now openly communist and wants to burn everything to the ground.

**Michael Duncan** (0:09)
All right, what's the takeaway there?

**Comfortably Smug** (0:11)
The DSA has recalibrated and learned the Trojan Horse Method is the way to go. It just became a never ending implosion that they had to deal with.

**Michael Duncan** (0:21)
It's not the DEM establishment that dodged a bullet with Francesca Hong losing. I think the DSA also dodged a bullet. They're happy to be rid of Hong and not be blamed if she lost.

Washington politicians are always getting in your wallet. Now, they're messing with your credit card. Your credit card and the security it offers are under attack. The Durban Marshall credit card bill would change the nation's payment system to benefit corporate megastores like Walmart and Target at the expense of everyday Americans.
Credit cards keep your payments secure and provide rewards that families use to help make everyday purchases more affordable. The Durban Marshall mandates would let corporate megastores cut corners on credit card processing, routing transactions over cheaper, untested networks with weaker security and fewer protections. That means higher risk of fraud, greater chance of stolen personal data, and the loss of rewards for programs just so corporate megastores can pocket billions of dollars and higher profits.

Down goes DSA.
Welcome back to the Ruthless Variety Program. I'm Michael Duncan along with me comfortably Smug. Of course, what I'm talking about is the election results out of Wisconsin from Tuesday, Francesca Hong. We talked about her here a lot on the Ruthless Variety Program. She was supposed to continue the march of the DSA through the Democratic primary process. Little bit of a snag on Tuesday.

**Comfortably Smug** (3:10)
A little bit. I know there's a lot of people who are surprised by the results. We've been telling you pretty much this is what was going to happen, and you're seeing a lot of what I feel from the legacy media, this milk toast kind of analysis of where they're saying, no, you see nothing to worry about here. Mainstream Democrat candidate on the ballot. We've got mainstream Democrat candidates. Everything that you've been hearing about these dangerous communists is untrue.
Don't look behind the curtain.
I think that's a bunch of nonsense, because the story here is not, oh, look, the establishment Democrats are still the ones calling in shots here. The story here is half of Democrat voters will vote for straight up communism. They'll vote for a lunatic who has no business running. He'll be like, actually, I hate Thanksgiving, and it's racist, in proximity to whiteness and sees the means of production. Half of Democrat voters are with that. That's a worrying sign. That's not like, oh, everyone, it's okay, alarm. Nope, the lunatics are running the show.

**Michael Duncan** (4:13)
The lunatics are running the show, and it's going to be a great show. I only wish both of our friends were here. Unfortunately, John Ashbrook is still out this week.
Josh is going to be joining us in the second half of the Variety program. We got a lot of variety, and we're going to play Hard Pivot.

**Comfortably Smug** (4:31)
This is going to be a great episode. Bringing back Hard Pivot.
