Joe Concha's book, "Progressively Worse," was highly promoted across multiple episodes, with the author appearing as a guest to discuss its central argument. Concha contended that the Democratic Party has radically transformed, shifting far left from the era of JFK and Bill Clinton, whose policies—such as tax cuts and meritocracy—would be considered conservative today. The book specifically critiques the modern party as a radical force of elites whose platforms, including proposed tax hikes and anti-fracking stances, demonstrate a radical departure from their predecessors.

So, Progressively Worse, Why Today's Democrats Ain't Your Daddy's Donkeys.

I look at like John F. Kennedy... Kennedy was he pulled higher than any president in polling history, right? He was he averaged 70% approval.

The truth is he would now be called an extreme Maga Republican because... Seriously 1961 he takes office. He inherits a recession. So what does he do? He doesn't do what Kamala Harris is doing now, which is to propose $5 trillion in tax hikes. He cut taxes as aggressively as any president had in our history and we ended up getting something like 7% GDP growth just a couple of years later.

He didn't believe in racial quotas. He believed in a merit-based system and any Democrat that would utter that today, you know, the party of equity would be cast out.

But then Bill Clinton's presidency, Carol, that was the one that really you go back and look at it. The first thing you think of is the blue dress of Monica... But up until that point, I'll, I readily admit this. 1996 I voted for the guy because wow, he governed like a Republican.
