The Solidarity Effect

In this episode, we talk about the military action (WAR) with Iran and the economic implications as well as the national security risks that this brings to the Homeland.  We also talk politics of 2026 and the great opportunity the working class has to take back power through Graham Platner in Maine, James Talarico in Texas and congressional races in Iowa.  2026 is going to be busy!

Lots of issues on the table in this episode as we discuss the bending of the knee from the Democrats to end the federal government shutdown, Graham Platner's race in Maine, the ACA subsidies ending and the economic stress its bringing to millions of Americans.

Time to get REAL!

47 and the Republicans refuse to extend the ACA subsidies and eliminate the Medicaid cuts in the "One Big Beautiful" POS and causes a federal government shutdown. Thankfully, unions are pushing back!  Also, in this episode, 47 and his Secretary of War tells our military generals that U.S. cities should be used as "training grounds". Does this violate the Posse Comitatus Act? We'll discuss! We close it out discussing the assaults on our 1st amendment rights. It's a long one, folks, but so very important!

Conservative influencer and founder of Turning Points, USA, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated in Utah during a college campus public speaking event. A barbaric act of political violence that threatens our First Amendment right to free speech. This. Must. Stop.

Labor Day 2025...a day to celebrate the toils of the working class and to relax with family and friends.  There are rays of hope on the political landscape, coming from none other than the great state of Iowa! A state senate district that went 11.5 points for 47 was flipped back by a 10 point margin to a Democrat. Is this the spark that is needed to balance the power back to the working class? We shall see! Please like, share and subscribe to your working class podcast, The Solidarity Effect!

The MAGA coalition is showing signs of cracking as 47 ponders the idea of entering the Israel-Iran shootout and the Illinois Drivers Alliance pushes for union rights for 100,000 Uber and Lyft drivers in Illinois. An interesting perspective on the lopsided tax code from Scott Galloway and the Dems continue to show weakness and indifference to 47's march towards another U.S. involvement in the Middle East.  Enjoy!

In this latest episode, we welcome back to the podcast none other than the wild Scandinavian, Jason! We're talking about what we call 'The Great Liquidation" which is the massive sell off in the stock market that is fueled by the 47's tariffs and the devastation to the working class 401k's.  We also talk about the VA workers uncertainty with their jobs and the anemic Democratic Party response to all the insanity.  Thanks for listening and please like, share and subscribe to The Solidarity Effect podcast and join us on 3 different Facebook group pages to engage!

The assault on the working class and union have accelerated since Inauguration Day with FMCS slated for elimination, contracts being cancelled for the TSA workers, Social Security in the crosshairs from 47 and his minion, Elon Musk.  The markets are tanking and insanity is planting a foothold in our government. Strap in, its gonna be a wild ride!

The dismantling of the national NLRB through an unjustified termination of Gwen Wilcox is the beginning of a slaughtering of working class rights.  We are also talking tariffs, in particular, the negative impact of tariffs against one of our biggest trading partners, Canada.  The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has invaded all aspects of government departments, including Social Security. What does all of this mean? Come with us, into the rabbit hole, to find out!
