Politics for the Powerless! | MAMDANI & FUENTES w/ Professor Penn | EP254

Episode #254 of the @professorpennpodcast. David breaks down “politics for the powerless” — how elites are fragmenting both parties, smearing America First as Neo-Nazi, and using labels like “racist” and “anti-Semite” to shut down debate. He responds to Mark Levin, explores the difference between socialism and republicanism, critiques Zionism vs criticism of Israel, and unpacks the Supreme Court fight over Trump’s tariffs and the looming risk of economic collapse. All of it leads to one question: will “doomer” young people stay powerless, or step into precinct politics, caucus, and real local organizing to take their country back?

Cracks In The Wall! | UNI-PARTY FRACTURES w/ Professor Penn | EP253

Episode #253 of the  @professorpennpodcast  Professor Penn opens with the St. Michael prayer and lays out how Marxism, globalism, and the “uni-party” are driving America toward unrest—from communist gains in big-city mayor races to EBT chaos and Klaus Schwab’s call to “prepare for an angrier world.” He exposes how both parties, including Minnesota GOP leadership, have abandoned the four pillars of republicanism by embracing mail-in ballots, omnibus bills, donor “stakeholders,” and global governance over borders, fair elections, and the common good. This episode is a hard call to action: stop being spectators, organize your precinct, show up to caucus, and join the digital army to reclaim a truly republican form of government before it’s gone.

They Know Not What They Do! | THE CORRUPTED w/ Professor Penn | EP249

From party operatives and media narratives to lobbyist pipelines and “silk-stocking” Republicans, David names names and unpacks how institutional incentives clash with grassroots reform. He explains why unity must be grounded in principle, not personalities, and breaks down how the four pillars of Republicanism stand in sharp contrast to careerist politics. The episode examines how media narratives and endorsements shape the bench-building game, citing examples like Pawlenty, Plackish, Nash, Robbins, Fenton, Weber, and Emmer. David also explores election integrity issues including automatic voter registration, DOJ lawsuits, and AG funding, asking why hearings are only arriving now. He connects these developments to broader concerns around digital ID systems, technocracy, and the dangers of surveillance states like China’s cashless model. Woven throughout is a spiritual framework, invoking Psalm 91 and St. Michael, underscoring that political battles begin as inner battles of courage. David draws historical parallels from Washington’s winter and the Swamp Fox, urging listeners to stand firm and act locally.
