Crossroads with Joshua Philipp

Democrats swept in the midterm elections, winning control of both the House and Senate. Analysts are now suggesting why, and key issues are emerging where President Donald Trump has lost parts of his base.

Polls are showing Democrats have a strong chance to sweep in the midterm elections, but warnings are now emerging that far fewer Republicans are participating in polling, which could set the stage for an election surprise on par with 2016.

The midterm elections are coming up, and socialism is now front and center. Key candidates on the left are backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, and Republicans are running their campaigns against socialism itself. Polling now shows that while the margin may still be thin, voters lean against socialism.

Far-left organizations in the United States are openly planning to foment protests and chaos as a ploy for the 2028 elections. Documents and videos say part of the strategy is to incite President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act, and to then use that as fuel for political narratives.

The Trump administration has put a bounty on fraudsters. The administration has now rolled out a program to incentivize whistleblowers and investigators by offering them 1 percent of whatever fraud gets uncovered.

Rioters in France are burning historical buildings, looting shops, and generally causing mayhem. The French government has put a curfew in place and is promising that those involved will be brought to justice. Violent disorder is also springing up elsewhere in Europe, including in Italy. But what’s really behind the riots?

Banks are accused of closing the accounts of people who supported President Donald Trump, pro-life advocates, and conservative groups that fell out of favor with the previous administration. The allegations are part of a government investigation on debanking, and suggest that major banks were targeting Americans over their political and religious views. According to the report by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the policies did not exclusively affect conservatives. Some pro-abortion groups were also blocked from working with certain banks. In this episode of Crossroads, we’ll discuss how this issue came about and how it developed under previous administrations.
