Rep. Ro Khanna on Progressive Capitalism, Gaza, and 2028
Ro Khanna represents Silicon Valley in Congress, and he’s spent the last few years building a case that the Democratic Party’s future runs through places like Johnstown and Erie–in his home state of Pennsylvania–not just tech wealth. He calls it progressive capitalism, and he thinks it’s the platform that beats both Donald Trump’s economic nationalism and the socialism of the party’s left flank. He joins Coleman Hughes to make his case, ahead of an expected decision on a 2028 presidential run. They start with why Khanna broke from his own party to defend the Hunter Biden laptop story, and whether he’d actually seek congressional approval for military action as president or repeat the pattern set by Democratic presidents before him. From there they get into his pitch for why Democrats should pick him over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and his case for targeted tariffs on steel and trucks instead of Trump’s blanket approach. They end on his shift from calling himself a pro-Israel progressive to arguing that Israel’s war in Gaza amounted to genocide. On Tuesday, August 18th, Coleman will be answering your questions in the Free Press Forum.

Democrats Need to Ditch ‘Loser Politics,’ with Matthew Yglesias
Is there a meaningful difference between a commonsense Democrat and a center-right Republican? Matthew Yglesias thinks so. But he also thinks the Democrats have spent the last decade making it harder and harder to tell. He cofounded Vox and writes the essential Slow Boring Substack. He has been one of the most consistent voices calling for a Democratic politics that is practical and winnable. He joins Coleman Hughes to make that case. They start with the big picture: why people have started asking politics to give their lives meaning, what that has done to our culture, and whether the loss of monoculture has made us lonelier and more tribal. From there they get into the Democratic Socialists of America’s rise, why housing is the most important issue nobody campaigns on, and why Yglesias thinks public schools should go back to teaching straightforward patriotism.

The Real Reason Americans Are So Sick, with Jillian Michaels
Jillian Michaels is a fitness expert who has spent three decades helping people get healthy in a system that is actively working against them. She joins Coleman to make the case that America’s obesity crisis is not a failure of willpower but the predictable result of a food industry designed to addict and a pharmaceutical industry designed to profit. They get into Ozempic and why taking it for vanity reasons is a catastrophically bad idea, what MAHA has actually accomplished and where it has fallen short, the vaccine debate, and why the healthy-at-any-size movement is one of the more dangerous lies in recent memory.
