    Trump Treasury's "Operation Economic Outcast" Targets Iran, DSA's Violent Rhetoric Exposed, Randi Weingarten's Target Boycott

    08/25/2026 | 14 mins.
    The Trump administration's Treasury Department has launched "Operation Economic Outcast," a sweeping new effort to sever Iran's economic lifelines and isolate Tehran from the global economy. On this episode, we break down what the sanctions mean, how Texas AG Ken Paxton and Michael Lucci are framing data centers as critical infrastructure in the competition with Communist China, and why the Democrat Party's 2028 bench is already in disarray.

    We also cover a viral moment from inside the Democratic Socialists of America, where a member was caught on camera saying their political takeover will be "a violent process." Plus, meet the DSA organizer dubbed "Lulu Lenin" — a 25-year-old chocolate heiress and NYU graduate defending her privileged background by invoking "noblesse oblige."

    Finally, we discuss the American Federation of Teachers' new "Shop Smart, Not Target" boycott campaign, led by union president Randi Weingarten, and why critics are calling it corporate hostage-taking rather than principled activism.

    Topics covered in this episode: — Treasury's "Operation Economic Outcast" and the new Iran sanctions — Ken Paxton and data center policy in Texas — Newsom vs. Buttigieg staff rivalry ahead of 2028 — Chris Van Hollen and the DSA endorsement question — DSA's "violent process" comments — "Lulu Lenin" and the noblesse oblige controversy — Randi Weingarten and the AFT's Target boycott

    Trump takes the presidential limo for a 180mph joyride down Pennsylvania Avenue in the "Freedom 250 Grand Prix," and data centers become the unlikely battleground in the Ohio Senate race. Meanwhile, Mark Ruffalo torches the Ellison family over the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger — and the ADL, Simon Wiesenthal Center, and other Jewish advocacy groups fire back hard, accusing him of antisemitism.

    Also on today's rundown: leaked comments raise fresh questions about what's said behind closed doors, a DSA-backed candidate gets caught claiming working-class struggles while living in his parents' mansion, and Harry and Meghan draw criticism for their latest round of celebrity diplomacy abroad.
