Navigating Public Opinion: Israel's Diplomatic Dilemma | Hugh Hewitt with Bethany Mandel

Until now, hard-left influencer Hasan Piker was perhaps best known for appearing to use an electric shock collar on his dog during a livestream. Now he's making news again—for addressing the College Democrats of America convention dressed as Mao Zedong.

Piker has called Mao "one of the great leaders of this world." Yet Mao's policies are widely estimated to have caused the deaths of between 40 and 70 million people.

Had Piker shown up dressed as Hitler, the outrage would have been immediate—and rightly so. Mao deserves no better. 

Piker’s appearance, and his denunciation of mainstream Democrats for compromising with so-called fascists, reflects the extremist rhetoric gaining ground on the left. Unless Democrats of good faith confront that radical fringe, their party risks losing itself. Let's hope it's not already too late.

Carol Platt Liebau: The Democrats Are Being Consumed

 New York has recently created their version of Canada’s assisted suicide regimen, and it has put religious providers squarely in its crosshairs. Several groups have banded together to stop the Medical Aid in Dying legislation as it forces them to participate in suicide. 

Hochul tried to deny this, claiming faith-based providers can opt out of the program. Catholic nuns discovered, however, that the law requires all providers to coordinate assisted suicide in their facilities and to give access to doctors performing it. 

Starting next month, any healthcare provider who declines to prescribe suicide pills could still have to tell terminally ill patients about their “right” to kill themselves, help them meet the requirements for obtaining suicide pills, and direct them to a provider willing to prescribe the lethal drugs.

The death cult on the Left continues to expand its reach and its authoritarianism. We need to stand with the Catholic sisters – again – and fight for life.

President Trump was a guest on my program last week. He put the number

of Iranians massacred by the regime over two days in January at 52,000! —so we know the ruthlessness of the men in charge in Iran.

In light of that, it is entirely understandable that the Iranian people are reticent to take to the streets again.

And this has become clear: the current public faces of the rump regime in don’t have any authority over the killers with the guns.

Eli Lake is among the most respected national security reporters in the U.S.  He explained to me last week how the history of regime collapses tells us we ought to be watching for splits within the ranks of those men with guns.

That’s how revolutions against dictators begin and then gain momentum—when a cadre see the end game and don’t want to be on the wrong side when everything falls apart.

Watch closely. It only takes a few people to crack the whole of the IRGC tyranny.
