Speaker Johnson Says He Needs $350 BILLION To Fight Communism In America!

The recent resurgence of Cold War-style red-baiting isn’t just coming from Donald Trump — now House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing for $350 billion in additional Pentagon funding under the pretext of fighting "communism on our own shores" following recent DSA primary victories. Guest host Russell Dobular and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger argue this rhetoric is a deliberate distraction from worsening material conditions, noting that the U.S. now ranks 28th in median wealth—below Israel—while China has lifted 800 million people out of poverty under its own system. They point out that if communism truly "never works," there would be no need to spend trillions overthrowing socialist nations or sanctioning them, exposing the fear as elite panic over losing control. The segment concludes that the real threat to the establishment is growing curiosity about alternative systems as Americans face declining living standards and a rigged economy.
