Notes In Review
This episode reframes the current administration as a “second Confederacy” rather than a Nazi revival, and treats the 2026 primaries as the lever to pry power back from corporate Democrats. Nick Paro lays out a tooling-and-volunteer strategy for Broad Banner — using Lev Parnas’s network and a planned all-day candidate-interview marathon to give grassroots progressives the oxygen national media won’t. Walter Rhein presses the case that Democrats had full power in 2020, failed to stop fascism’s rise, and have to be primaried out rather than defended. The two also walk through emotional-intelligence parenting (“I’m sorry I made you feel that way”), the Reapportionment Act of 1929 as the structural cause of unrepresentative Congress, and the absurdity of dental, vision, and hearing being treated as luxury insurance. Listeners are asked to volunteer — especially for non-technical scheduling, outreach, and clip work — and to push paid and free subscriptions across both shows.
