Andrew Shatkin Unloads on the Left with Michael Blum
Episode Overview
- Michael Blum and Andrew Shatkin say they prioritise what they call facts and truth over political correctness, even if it offends.
- They argue that illegal immigration and sanctuary cities harm existing citizens, especially poorer minority communities, by undercutting jobs and resources.
- Both claim the Democratic Party manipulates racial tensions and accusations of racism to secure and retain support from black voters.
- They express strong concern about anti-Semitism, support for Israel, and what they describe as dangerous elements within some Muslim organisations and countries.
- The conversation criticises modern education, diversity rhetoric and declining standards, suggesting unity around shared values is more important than celebrating differences.
“"Politics plus X, X being whatever variable you want, equals BS."”
Ever wondered what happens when two outspoken conservatives let loose on live radio? The Blum Show episode "Andrew Schatkin Hate the Left" brings attorney, author and commentator Andrew Shatkin together with host Michael Blum for an unfiltered, sometimes abrasive, political rant that pushes hard against polite conversation.
From the start, the tone is set with a nostalgic Red Skelton clip unpacking the Pledge of Allegiance and a lament that, as Michael puts it, "that kind of attitude just doesn't exist anymore." From there, the chat barrels into fierce criticism of the political left, immigration policy, and what they see as a culture obsessed with political correctness.
Michael jokes that "politics plus X, X being whatever variable you want, equals BS," capturing the mood of frustration that runs through the whole show.
Shatkin repeatedly says he cares about "the facts and the truth" rather than political sensitivity, arguing that many opinions are "based on considerations that are not factual." Together they attack illegal immigration, sanctuary cities, and the extension of benefits to those in the country unlawfully, framing it as a direct threat to American workers and citizenship itself. The pair also spend substantial time on race and anti-Semitism.
They claim Democrats weaponise accusations of racism to control the black vote, question why some communities still back the same party, and express deep concern about what they describe as rising anti-Jewish sentiment on the left and in some Muslim contexts. Islam, Sharia law, and Muslim immigration to Western countries are discussed in stark, often hostile terms.
Things briefly widen out to religion versus spirituality, the decline of education, "diversity" versus unity, and whether younger generations are losing critical thinking skills. If you're sober, politically engaged, and wondering how strong opinions sound without any filter, this episode might prompt you to ask: which parts do you agree with, and which make you push back just as hard?
