Part 4/9:
The conversation shifted to the evolving landscape of American politics, particularly within the Democratic Party. Peebles reflected on his own political views, acknowledging a sense of disillusionment with the current trajectory of the Democratic Party, which he believes has been increasingly hijacked by the far-left faction.
He noted that he was once a strong supporter of President Barack Obama, who he considers a moderate Democrat whose policies aligned more closely with traditional capitalist ideals. Comparing Obama's shift from Bill Clinton's moderate approach, Peebles lamented that today's Democratic Party leans more toward socialism, and he expressed concern that this shift endangers the party’s long-term viability.
