Underneath the "cuddly" rhetoric of the Democatic Socialists there lurks admirers of some of the most evil men in history. And, says our guest Tal Fortgang of the Manhattan Institute, they are also poised to take control of the whole of the Democratic Party.

There's also some hockey talk (USA! USA! USA!), the State of the Union and Gavin Newsom's SAT scores.

    I knew a DSA guy in college. He often wore a Lenin t-shirt. He definitely wasn’t interested in Nordic-style socialism.

    We should still take his voting rights away on principle.

    We didn't have DSA; we had regular Marxists - they were pushing "The Daily Worker" - Ironically. these guys looked like they never worked day in their lives.
