This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who's been paying attention to the latest developments in the Democrat Party. The speaker shares a fascinating story about how his weekend drive down I-25 listening to Bill Maher, Van Jones, and Jared Polis, left him feeling astonished, but not surprised, by the panic among some prominent figures in the party.

The conversation delves into the history of the progressive project in the US, tracing its roots back to Woodrow Wilson and the 17th Amendment, which gave the power to elect US Senators directly to the people. The speaker argues that this move was a significant step towards the concentration of power in the hands of the expert class, paving the way for the administrative state and the deep state. He also touches on the New Deal, the Great Society, and Obama's fundamental transformation, highlighting how each of these initiatives moved the country further down the line towards a larger state and a smaller private sector.

The speaker challenges listeners to read Woodrow Wilson's essay "The Study of Administration" and his book "Constitutional Government in the United States" to understand the roots of the progressive project. He also references the DSA's platform, which calls for the takeover of key industries, the abolition of the police, and the erasure of borders, among other things.

In this episode, the speaker makes a compelling case that the arc of American progressivism has been drawn from Woodrow Wilson to the present day, with the DSA as the ultimate destination. He encourages listeners to subscribe to his Substack and read his article about the DSA, which provides a detailed look at the organization's platform and goals.
