Making the Argument with Nick Freitas

Zohran Mamdani’s rise has put democratic socialism, and the DSA behind it, at the center of American politics, with a promise to make life more affordable and dignified for everyone. But is capitalism really the villain socialists say it is, and can socialism actually deliver a better life for Americans, or does the math tell a different story?

For 50 years, British voters have said no to more immigration. It kept coming anyway. In this interview, Connor Tomlinson explains how Brexit was followed by an immigration wave that dwarfed Blair's, why young British men are increasingly pushing back, and why he believes the country has only one or two elections left to change course. And he has a surprising answer to a simple question: can you become English? There are big things happening at Blaze, and we'd love for you to join us.

In under two weeks, French students went from asking for more teachers to setting fire to 24 high schools and sending more than 300 police officers to the hospital. French intelligence told the prime minister it was "an operation organised" by Jean-Luc Mélenchon's hard-left party, and one of that party's mayors told reporters "violence can be legitimate." A year after Emmanuel Macron recognized a Palestinian state for what he reportedly called domestic political reasons, the Palestinian flag is flying over school barricades even though Palestine isn't in a single student demand. In this episode, we connect the dots between France's immigration system, its Palestine gamble, and the Red-Green alliance between the radical left and political Islam. We also explain why the Arab world learned this lesson decades ago and Europe still hasn't. There are big things happening at Blaze, and we'd love for you to join us.
