Episode Details

During the segment, a caller named Barbara shared her concern that election scanners could be hacked, referencing Donald Trump's recent speech. She suggested that auditing 10% to 12% of precincts could ensure ballots match. Host Charlie James then discussed a recent poll showing that 32% of registered voters would support a democratic socialist, while only 29% would back a Trump-endorsed candidate and 27% a MAGA supporter. He noted that this growing support for socialism is a dangerous shift in the electorate. He also highlighted efforts in New York City by Zohran Mamdani to challenge private property rights and halt background checks for renters. James warned that voters continue to support these ideas without understanding the failures of past socialist nations.
