David sits down with a Hmong clan leader — the son of General Vang Pao — for a deep, powerful conversation about community, history, and the future of political engagement in Minnesota. Together they break down why citizens getting involved at the precinct level can change the direction of politics, and why the Hmong community’s voice matters now more than ever.

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?

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.

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.
