Thursday, September 3, 2026
On today’s edition of The Scott Jennings Show, Carl Jackson fills in for Scott with a look at the growing influence of the socialist left within the Democratic Party and what it could mean for the midterms and the future direction of the party. Democratic consultant and former House Judiciary Committee Chief Counsel Julian Epstein joins Carl to discuss his proposal for a formal House resolution condemning some of the most extreme elements of the Democratic Socialists of America platform, including government control of major industries and calls to abolish police, prisons and borders. Epstein explains why he believes forcing lawmakers to vote on those policies could clarify where Democrats stand, while Carl examines the broader ideological battle between socialism and capitalism and the political stakes for voters heading into November.
