Call It With Liz & Bill
Call-It listeners hear Liz (a former Republican) and Bill (a former Democrat) hash out current socio-political events via recorded phone conversations. A friendship that flourished 30-some years ago as young creatives working at a New York City bistro is now rekindled via regular weekend phone conversations over cocktails.
Listen on:
Like many Americans, these two no longer subscribe to a particular political party and have become part of America’s growing number of “politically homeless”.
The goal of the show is not to provide journalistic news coverage or deeply researched political insight, but to simply provide a relatable alternative voice to the increasingly bipartisan and narrative-driven nature of today’s political discourse.
For those firmly rooted in the tribalism of the left or right, this show is not for you. For the rest of you, sit down with your favorite cocktail and let Liz and Bill Call-It as they see it.

Why do our liberal politicians and media keep using the word "Democracy" lately? Is our democracy really under threat by the Trump and the right wing? Meanwhile, we have two candidates competing to become "Commander In Chief" of the world's largest and most powerful military. One was elected by the civilian population in 2016. The other has never even won a primary election. So is the "threat" really on the right, or has the definition of the word itself somehow changed? Liz and Bill also discuss how the modern media no longer speaks truth to power on BOTH sides... but has somehow devolved into a propaganda arm of the elite that aims to serve one side of the political landscape while demonizing the other. Isn't THIS a "threat to democracy"? So, grab your favorite cocktail and join Liz & Bill as they ponder these questions and more leading up to the 2024 elections!

Bill reviews his reading of "Mao's America: A Survivors Warning" by Xi Van Fleet. The book follows the author's journey from a child serving under the Red Guard in Mao's China to becoming an American citizen years later. Xi tells how she is forced from her quiet suburban life as a wife and mother when she discovers Marxist ideology creeping into her children's school curriculum. Liz and Bill further discuss what appears to be the silent infiltration of Marxist ideas into America's leading Universities and the ideology of today's Progressive Left including DEI and CRT and how these ideas tether to decades-old Marxist/Marcusian tactics for dismantling western capitalism.
