Topic: Woke Universities

Michigan politician Abdul El-Sayed released a campaign video styled after the children's show Blue's Clues to promote mail-in voting and Medicare for All. The hosts critique the video as "indoctrination" aimed at "kidults" who desire a parental government figure. Darren O'Neill shares an anecdote about his time at DePaul University in Chicago, noting the early stages of woke culture in the communications department during the late 1980s.

Jen Psaki and Liz Smith admitted on air that Democratic party leadership historically selected nominees through funding and endorsements rather than letting voters decide. The hosts discuss how this dynamic is shifting with the rise of "woke" DSA candidates who focus on Medicare for All and protecting illegal immigrants. They argue these candidates struggle in working-class areas despite their popularity in university settings.
