About this episode

The episode discusses the rise of socialist candidates in New York, climate change issues, and recent major earthquakes.

Razor Wire opens this week with McShane and Fitz arguing New York’s Democrat Socialist of America wave and NYC primary upsets confirm a hard-left “communism” shift, with low turnout letting DSA candidates dominate and mainstream Democrats fractured (Carville teased). They mock AOC’s claims about GOP “fear,” play clips of socialist candidates pushing nationalized airlines and 9/11/colonialism framing, and use Trump’s “free stuff sells” communism riff to warn of collapse and violence, citing Scott Wiener getting heckled and armed leftist groups. Europe’s heat panic, “melting stoplights,” Germany allegedly removing AC units, and anti-AC climate pledges lead into climate-control satire and peat/Scotch whisky backlash. News turns to major earthquakes (Venezuela doublet ~7.2/7.6; Japan) with discussion of pre-quake lights, coronal hole streams, planetary alignment, and ignored warning signals. Interspersed: Beer Drop subscription, Monkless “Curtain Closer” quintuple (11.6%) praise, disappointing sour and stout, plus a “farm report” on Australia’s gimpy-gimpy pain plant.
