Political Playlist Happy Hour

Chris Gallant has worn many hats. A Black Hawk helicopter pilot, an air traffic controller, a volunteer firefighter, a fiancé and now he hopes to add another one - Congressman from New York's 1st district. He's 36-years-old and running in the Democratic primary for NY-1 to hopefully unseat the current Republican. As part of our Primary Watch series, focusing on the next generation of political hopefuls around the country, we chat with Chris about how his military service informs his view on the current war in Iran, Pete Hegseth's new 'standards' for the enlisted, what 'affordability' really means, and how he's tackling campaigning in a purple district.

Who's the Politician on our Playlist this week? It's Seth Magaziner, the Democrat from Rhode Island's 2nd Congressional District and he's got a new bill to regulate these rapidly growing, and completely unregulated, betting apps like Kalshi and Polymarket. These sites are now aquiring massive amounts of election data and are, as of now, going to be taking bets on upcoming elections in this country! That means a politician running could...throw the election...and bet against himself...and make a pile of money--LEGALLY???? Yes, you heard all that correctly. But the question is, will Congress take up Seth's new bill?

On this episode of the Political Happy Hour, Michael, Anna and Anthony discuss how to talk about the ongoing and escalating war in Iran, and specifically what people are not talking about...how this relates to China. With oil prices soaring right now, and the Trump Administration message pivoting more times than Anna finds Anthony annoying, the result has left the American people and the world asking, is this all about regime change? Or is there a larger combative chess move towards China at play here? Playlister, pour a glass, tune in and and decide for yourself!
