This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, Chuck and Sam are first joined by David Harsanyi, senior writer at the Washington Examiner, who dives into his book The Rise of Blue Anon and explains why today’s Democrat Party has embraced conspiracy politics and paranoia—from Russia collusion to claims that Elon Musk is a Nazi. Then, Mike Mazza of the Project 2049 Institute delivers a critical update on the escalating threat of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, why China wants Taiwan so badly, and why the U.S. must urgently ramp up its own defense production. Finally, Matt Evans joins the show to expose the largest tax hike in Phoenix history—passed by the city council this week while they laughed. Plus, stay tuned as Kiley explores the chilling mystery of Who is Peter Bergmann? Tune in now!
