Guests: Dan McAdams, Jim Jotch

Overview

This episode dives into the aftermath of the U.S. election results, the shifting political landscape in New York City, deep divides within the conservative movement (especially regarding Israel and America First), the feasibility of peace with Russia in Ukraine, and the failure of youth suicide prevention efforts. The hosts aim to challenge mainstream narratives and highlight independent perspectives, with a particular focus on the fracturing of right-wing media and the increasing influence of young, disillusioned voters.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. 2025 Election Results: The NYC Shift (02:59–13:15)

• Main Theme:
  The surprising victory of Zohran Mamdani, a Muslim socialist, as NYC mayor—supported by a substantial portion of young Jewish voters—signals changing attitudes within key Democratic constituencies and reflects broader dissatisfaction with both parties.

• Points Discussed:

  • Mainstream media’s postmortems are missing the real issue: increasing frustration with the establishment and “uni party.”
  • Mamdani’s focus: Prioritizing NYC’s affairs over global interests like maintaining economic ties with Israel.
  • Jewish vote dynamics:
    Older Jewish voters backed Cuomo (establishment, pro-Israel) while younger Jews turned out heavily for Mamdani.
  • Quote (Clayton, 03:58):
    “Almost 70% of young New York City Jews voted for a Muslim mayor who vowed to divest from Israel instead of focusing on New York City.”
  • Guest Rabbi David Feldman (09:44):
    “We need politicians to be on the right side of history and to speak up for the oppressed… We should give them the freedom to express what they believe is right.”

• Implications:

  • Unprecedented alignment between progressive Jews and pro-Palestinian candidates.
  • Reflects anti-‘Israel First’ sentiment growing among younger demographics.
  • Is this a sign of a truly shifting political order, or another phase in the disappointment cycle?

2. Disillusionment with Partisan Politics (12:42–16:23)

• Cycle of Disappointment: Voters repeatedly switch between parties hoping for change, only to be let down.

  • Dan McAdams (13:15):
    “I made the decision many years ago back in 2002 that I wouldn’t vote anymore… There’s a theoretical at the time that I may vote again. In fact, when RFK announced and I started seeing some of the things he was saying from the beginning about COVID, I thought he was going to be good. But then he imploded on foreign policy…”

• JD Vance, Tucker Carlson, and the New Right Divide:

  • Debates within the conservative movement about foreign influence, “America First” vs. “Israel First.”
  • Dan McAdams (14:57):
    “I wouldn’t believe J.D. Vance. He’s on the team right now… I’ll tell you what would make me jump out of my seat and re-register and vote and that’d be if Thomas Massie ran.”

3. The Democrat “Victory” and Unclear Platform (16:02–17:31)

• Democrats win by default, not vision:
  • Their platform remains vague; victories are more about GOP alienation than policy excitement.
  • Dan McAdams (17:06):
    “There was a… relatively small group of the electorate who got President Trump elected. They wanted [crypto] doge and… no foreign wars. What did they get? The middle finger.”

4. Peace with Russia: No Longer an Option? (21:12–33:02)

• Guest: Jim Jotch, former State Department adviser

  • Opening Stance (21:59):
    “I wouldn’t say it’s too late for a peace deal. I would say there never was any prospect for a peace deal… even if Trump really wanted to make a deal with the Russians, I don’t think it could be implemented.”

• Key Insights:

  • The U.S. government’s dysfunction renders treaties unenforceable—even under an anti-war president.
  • Russia holds most of the military cards and can escalate at will; U.S./NATO is overstretched.
  • The likely outcomes: Either Russia pushes all the way to eliminate the Ukrainian state or escalation drags NATO in.
  • Map Analysis (27:24–29:36):
    Focus on how Russian advances change the practical reality—Ukraine may become, at best, a “rump state” or, at worst, disappear as a functional country.
  • Jotch on Russian objectives (29:43):
    “Militarily they do. Yes. [Russia holds all the cards.]”
  • Central dilemma:
    Even if territorial goals are met, Russia wants demilitarization and neutrality—objectives no Western treaty can guarantee.

5. Youth Suicide Prevention Programs—A Failed Experiment (36:22–44:29)

• Host: Natalie highlights a damning study:
  • Recent findings published in JAMA show suicide prevention initiatives for young people have failed; no evidence they ever worked.
  • The mental health industry has been “experimenting on children in real time” with no positive results.
  • Natalie (36:22):
    “Mental health professionals never had any proof [their interventions] did [help]. They’ve been experimenting on children in real time… All the while, the suicide rate has gone up for young people.”
  • Social contagion and media coverage exacerbate the problem—more talk about suicide correlates with higher rates.
  • SSRIs and Side Effects:
    Increase in prescribed meds could be worsening outcomes; government slow to react.
  • Critique:
    The system blames and surveils children (“tell on your friends”), further traumatizing communities.
  • Natalie’s Conclusion:
    “People who failed to stop suicide and may have made it worse should not be the ones to come up with what comes next.”

6. Conservative Civil War: Ben Shapiro vs. Tucker Carlson & Nick Fuentes (47:02–63:02)

• Backdrop:

  • The growing fracture between “America First” conservatives (Carlson, Fuentes) and “Israel First” gatekeepers (Shapiro, Levin).
  • Shapiro launches an ad-free, whole-episode attack on Fuentes and Carlson.

• Key Segments & Quotes:

  • Ben Shapiro (49:42):
    “No to the Groypers. No to their publicists like Tucker Carlson. No to those who champion them. No to demoralization. No to bigotry and anti meritocratic horseshit. No to anti-Americanism. No. This is our country, this is our party, and this is our conservative movement… That is a path to defeat and a path to moral oblivion.”
  • Nick Fuentes Response (50:58–52:25):
    “That’s how you know they mean business. When Ben Shapiro turns down the money from the advertisers… 40 minute video and about 50% of it was just my clips. Fuentes this, Fuentes that. He’s a Nazi, sexist Holocaust denier. Whoa, you’re sounding like… Rachel Maddow.”
  • Violence Hypocrisy Theme (53:05–57:43):
    • Fuentes: Pro-Israel conservatives call opponents Nazis but justify real violence against Palestinians.
    • Nick Fuentes (53:05):
      “You can say kill 2 million people and you’re fine. You’re not genocidal… because you’re Jewish and you’re pro Israel… if you say America shouldn’t support Israel, now you’re the irredeemable, reprehensible, anti-Semitic Holocaust denier.”
    • Tucker Carlson on Dave Smith’s show (55:16):
      “They are openly pro violence. So how in the world could you justify killing tens of thousands of children…? You’re celebrating violence, and they celebrate violence day after day... That's why I oppose you.”
  • Host (Clayton, 57:43):
    “Shapiro and Levin and these clowns realize that their group is losing power fast. Americans have had enough. We’re sick and tired of you lecturing us, telling us that conservatives can’t be America First…”

• Wider Impact:

  • Growing youth and internet-based conservative discontent with “old-guard, Israel-first” voices.
  • Mainstream attempts to dismiss or suppress critics are backfiring, growing the America First base.

7. Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Aid Debate (61:26–65:44)

• Kill Ratios, Defining ‘Combatants,’ and Civilians:
  • Natalie (61:26):
    “According to them, 1.5 civilians for every combatant is an acceptable ratio… Israel never is able to defend who they call a combatant.”
  • U.S. aid to Israel critiqued, especially as Israel has a budget surplus and advanced technology (e.g., space force) while America deals with homelessness.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Dan McAdams (07:37):
  “Here’s someone who’s different now… all the things that they say about him… are exaggerated. I’m sure he’ll do some stupid things… but it absolutely is a barometer of the shifting tone, the shifting level of interest in the American people on… administration’s policies.”
• Jim Jotch (21:59):
  “There never was any prospect for a peace deal.”
• Natalie (44:29):
  “People who failed to stop suicide and may have made it worse should not be the ones to come up with what comes next, especially if they’re ignoring social contagion and antidepressants as a cause. So f*** those people is what I want to say.”
• Clayton (57:43):
  “Americans have had enough. We’re sick and tired of you lecturing us…”
• Dave Smith via Twitter (59:10):
  “You war thirsty scumbags have ruined everything for 25 years… and you will never kill the awakening of the American people, which is way overdue.”
