Hey folks,
I sat down with Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford — and we got into everything from Trump’s tariffs and Medicaid cuts to what it actually looks like when Democratic governors fight back. We talked affordability, corruption, protecting kids online, and why state-level leadership is going to define the next few years in this country.
You can feel the stakes in this conversation. Aaron’s got a personal story that hit me hard, and you can tell he’s running because he genuinely understands what working people are going through right now.
Here’s what we got into:
[00:01:47] Aaron lays out the blunt reality of Trump’s politics — retribution, billionaire favoritism, and why voting is the only way out of this mess.
[00:03:22] We dig into Nevada’s affordability crisis, from housing and gas prices to healthcare costs crushing working families.
[00:04:26] Aaron shares the story of growing up eating stale candy bars for dinner — and why he keeps a Score bar on his desk as a reminder of who he’s fighting for.
[00:06:14] We talk about the groundbreaking Roblox agreement aimed at protecting kids online from predators and harmful platform practices.
[00:08:14] Aaron explains how Democratic attorneys general are taking on Trump’s tariffs, Medicaid cuts, and attacks on SNAP benefits — and actually winning in court.
This episode is really about what leadership looks like when people are hurting. Aaron Ford talks openly about poverty, raising a son on Medicaid and food stamps, and why governors and attorneys general matter so much in this moment. If you’re frustrated watching Washington fail working families over and over again, this conversation will remind you there are still people fighting back at the state level — and winning. If you value honest conversations like this, help me keep them going.
