IDSG

Daniel Harper is a researcher who goes where few others can bear to go: he listens to what the reactionaries - from the IDW to the modern day Nazis - say to each other in *their* safe spaces!  In this timely and shocking - but entertaining - anti-fascist podcast, Daniel tells his friend, online writer Jack Graham, all about it.

I Don't Speak German

Daniel and Jack pick through Sam Harris' disgracefully friendly interview with right-wing fundamentalist and Hegseth-inspirer, Christian Nationalist pastor Doug Wilson.

PREVIEW: Bonus 45 Nuremberg (2025)

We look at Megyn Kelly's sickening and ludicrous (and instantly infamous) apologia for Jeffrey Epstein in the wake of the dump of Epstein emails, and follow the thread from her, via Richard Hanania's deranged tweets about how it's normal for adult men to fancy minors, and Alan Dershowitz's seemingly eternal dedication to having Jeffrey Epstein's back, all the way back to a 2017 meeting between Epstein and Steve Bannon (et al), as related by Michael Wolff in a book, published in 2021, that contains many things now being treated as revelations by the media...
 
Oh what a tangled web we weave...

News Brief: Alleged Kirk Shooter

Daniel and Jack discuss who Charlie Kirk really was, and what he really said.
 
Features Megyn Kelly's reaction to the breaking news, and clips from Kirk's shows, including his very last podcast.

Episode Notes:
 
New York Times Coverage of the Death of Charlie Kirk. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09/10/us/charlie-kirk-shot-utah

Ezra Klein Opinion, at The New York Times, "Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/opinion/charlie-kirk-assassination-fear-politics.html?unlocked_article_code=1.lE8.c8fl.bhF6iMJ6NLxJ&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
 
"You can dislike much of what Kirk believed and the following statement is still true: Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way. He was showing up to campuses and talking with anyone who would talk to him. He was one of the era's most effective practitioners of persuasion. When the left thought its hold on the hearts and minds of college students was nearly absolute, Kirk showed up again and again to break it. Slowly, then all at once, he did. College-age voters shifted sharply right in the 2024 election.
 
That was not all Kirk's doing, but he was central in laying the groundwork for it. I did not know Kirk and I am not the right person to eulogize him. But I envied what he built. A taste for disagreement is a virtue in a democracy. Liberalism could use more of his moxie and fearlessness. In the inaugural episode of his podcast, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California hosted Kirk, admitting that his son was a huge fan. What a testament to Kirk's project."
 
Robert Draper, New York Times, How Charlie Kirk Became the Youth Whisperer of the American Right: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/magazine/charlie-kirk-american-right.html
 
"But perhaps most important is that Kirk's dominant voice, via his podcast and his ubiquity on social media, has earned him credibility among conservatives as a die-hard Trump devotee. He has become a close friend of the president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., with whom Kirk traveled to Greenland on Jan. 7 — wearing a "Charlie"-embroidered flight jacket for the occasion — to publicize Trump's proclaimed intent to acquire the Arctic territory. And Kirk was an early champion of JD Vance as Trump was deciding whether the senator would be his running mate."
