A MAGA terrorist had him on a list: Congressman speaks out

Greg Landsman, US Representative from Ohio, joins David to discuss political violence and the Republican budget proposal

In this interview, Congressman Greg Landsman of Ohio discusses the alarming news that he was on a hit list tied to a would-be assassin in Minnesota. He describes the unsettling experience of being notified by Capitol Police, coordinating with local law enforcement, and taking precautions at home while awaiting further updates. The incident underscores the rise in political violence and extremist rhetoric, which Landsman links to the dangerous normalization of threats within segments of Trump’s base. He stresses the need for better social media accountability, improved intelligence coordination for threat prevention, and a return to political leadership that unites rather than divides.

Landsman also outlines his economic and legislative priorities, advocating for expanded tax relief for working families and higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy and corporations, including a potential wealth tax. He argues that Democrats must offer a clear vision heading into 2026, focused on fixing the economy, addressing public safety, and investing in infrastructure and housing. To regain voter trust, he believes Democrats must own past shortcomings on issues like immigration and voting reform and present bold, practical solutions that directly improve people’s lives.
