Political Playlist Happy Hour

How are young politicians doing things differently?? How about skillfully using clickbait-y Instagram posts to get your attention about an important campaign finance bill they're trying to pass? That's exactly what Rep. Summer Lee, a 38-year-old Democrat from Pennsylvania, did this week when bringing attention to her bill - The Abolish Super PACs Act. Do you think there's too much money in politics? Do you wish that rich people and corporations couldn't give endless amounts of funds to politicians? Well then you're going to want to tune in to hear more about Rep. Lee's proposal!

Chris Gallant has worn many hats. A Black Hawk helicopter pilot, an air traffic controller, a volunteer firefighter, a fiancé and now he hopes to add another one - Congressman from New York's 1st district. He's 36-years-old and running in the Democratic primary for NY-1 to hopefully unseat the current Republican. As part of our Primary Watch series, focusing on the next generation of political hopefuls around the country, we chat with Chris about how his military service informs his view on the current war in Iran, Pete Hegseth's new 'standards' for the enlisted, what 'affordability' really means, and how he's tackling campaigning in a purple district.

Who's the Politician on our Playlist this week? It's Seth Magaziner, the Democrat from Rhode Island's 2nd Congressional District and he's got a new bill to regulate these rapidly growing, and completely unregulated, betting apps like Kalshi and Polymarket. These sites are now aquiring massive amounts of election data and are, as of now, going to be taking bets on upcoming elections in this country! That means a politician running could...throw the election...and bet against himself...and make a pile of money--LEGALLY???? Yes, you heard all that correctly. But the question is, will Congress take up Seth's new bill?
