  • You’ll Be Richer For it

    I’ve followed Luke’s work for over a decade now, starting with combat sports analysis.

    While we have differing worldviews in many respects, he is a thoughtful, passionate DEEPLY principled voice in the political space, and speaks truth to power, damn the consequences. His indictments of the current administration, the opposition’s complicity, and the culture’s dangerous moment are deeply needed. Support this voice.

  • A clear voice

    I’m familiar with Luke in the mma world, and I hate politics, but we live in an era where it’s unavoidable to not confront the situation. Luke is clear headed, direct, and has such a sane perspective.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Luke Thomas Political Live Chat, Ep. 8
Q: If Republicans lose, what do you think are the most likely ways they'll try and how do we combat it?
Thomas says he would consult an election expert for a detailed assessment, but points to the 2020 effort as a guide: litigation, fake electors, pressure on state officials, and attempts to disrupt certification. He says officials and voters should expect efforts to exploit any available point in the election process.
Luke Thomas Political Live Chat, Ep. 8
Q: What do you think the implications will be for the war in Iran if the Saudis are able to push back and neutralize the Houthis?
Thomas doubts the Houthis can be contained militarily over the long term, pointing to years of bombing that have not meaningfully stopped them. He says lasting limits would likely require a diplomatic agreement and warns that British military involvement in Saudi Arabia could draw the United Kingdom more directly into the conflict.
Pro-Palestine Protesters Were RIGHT to Target Mamdani | Luke Thomas
Q: What do you think of Mullin saying that Mamdani's comments about ICE were dangerous and invite hostility?
Thomas says forceful comments from the mayor could contribute to public agitation, but argues that the shooting and an agent's alleged history of using a phony warrant gave the mayor reason to respond. He adds that protests were already happening before Mamdani spoke.
The REAL REASON Democrats keep losing elections | Luke Thomas
Q: How trusting of polls are you?
Thomas says trust depends on poll quality, use of landlines, and sampling, noting that polls can overstate support for the left in the Midwest. He is cautiously optimistic about Abdul El-Sayed, sees Angie Nixon as having a chance, and says James Talarico has a decent chance despite being sick recently.
The REAL REASON Democrats keep losing elections | Luke Thomas
Q: Progressive say dems lose because they are too centrist. How do you square this difference?
Thomas says many voters have a caricatured view of progressivism, while the party has been guided for decades by corporate and centrist interests. He argues that the 1972 McGovern loss had more to do with the conditions of the time than with his ideas, and says the party has undercut progressives such as Bernie Sanders.
