After a short hiatus while Dave attended his 50th High School Reunion (and took a couple of days to recover), the guys return with a bang!

They dive into the predicted demise of the Democrat Party, pointing to surprising voices like Chris Cuomo — son of former New York Governor and Democrat icon Mario Cuomo — and a panic-stricken New York Times article titled “The Death Cycle of the Democratic Party” as the unlikely bearers of bad news.

The show closes on a lighter note as G.K., continuing his popular segment “The Musical Meanderings, Memories, and Musings of G.K. Allen,” recommends three timeless albums from three classic American bands of the 20th Century.

G.K. and Dave hit the news buffet and load up their plates with timely topics worth chewing on. They dig into the silence of Cuban and Iranian dissidents, pondering why revolutions aren’t erupting despite decades of oppression. Dave reminds listeners that generations under totalitarian rule condition people to compliance before resistance.

The duo also tackles how DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) has stifled originality in art, literature, and music, leading to a cultural drought of creativity.

Finally, they examine how the Democrat Party became what it is today—tracing its roots back to the countercultural chaos of the 1960s and the lasting impact of the Woodstock generation.
