The Seth Leibsohn Show

Ed Morrissey, Managing Editor at Hot Air, and host of the Ed Morrissey Podcast, joins Seth to remember Constitution Day and the Democratic socialists who are choosing not to celebrate. Ed and Seth explore the concept of Islamophobia and how it's been used to silence dissent and criticism of Islam. They discuss the idea that Islamism is a dangerous creed that should be opposed and stopped, and how the notion of Islamophobia has been used to stifle debate and discussion. They also touch on the recent successful primary elections of Democratic Islamist candidates in the U.S. and the implications of this trend as we approach the 2026 midterm elections. We're joined by Johnny Estes, Vice President of Operations of CMI Gold & Silver.

David Harsanyi, senior writer at The Washington Examiner and co-host of the You’re Wrong podcast with Mollie Hemingway, on the 25th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. He reflects on the sense of patriotism and unity that followed the attacks, but also notes how it was short-lived and gave way to a more divisive and politicized era. David discusses how the aftermath of 9/11 led to a shift in the country's values and priorities. He recalls the initial sense of outrage and anger that followed the attacks, but also notes how it was quickly replaced by a more complex discussion about the role of Islam in American society. He critiques the Bush administration's approach to the Global War on Terror, which he believes created a culture of fear and moral relativism. David also discusses how the Obama Administration's policies further muddled the waters, creating a climate of moral equivocation and confusion about the nature of the enemy.
