On the August 20, 2026 episode of The NEWSMAX Daily, Kay Smythe Hill fills in for Tony Marino as NEWSMAX examines the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Carl Higbie torches the DSA, warning that “these wealthy brats will have us eating bugs while they fly private.” Rob Schmitt examines the new crop of DSA-aligned liberals and the movement’s growing electoral reach. Greg Kelly takes aim at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, arguing that youth and looks can only take a politician so far before serious policy questions demand serious answers.
