Hey folks,
I sat down with Don Lemon and we didn’t tiptoe around anything. New studio, new year, and a conversation that spiraled straight into the chaos of Trump’s foreign policy, the abuse of power at home, and what happens when there are no guardrails left. We argued, we laughed, and then the news broke live on air — and everything shifted.
[00:01:17] Don presses on Trump’s foreign policy chaos — Venezuela, Greenland, and the complete absence of a coherent strategy.
[00:04:08] A raw conversation about entitlement, power, and what it means to raise the next generation differently.
[00:09:35] Why 2026 could be brutal for Republicans — and what Democrats are (and aren’t) doing right.
[00:13:25] Breaking news mid-show: reports of an ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, and why this moment feels like a turning point.
[00:20:18] What kind of leaders we actually need next — urgency, courage, and a willingness to use power for people, not against them.
This episode is about power — who has it, who abuses it, and who’s been too afraid to wield it on behalf of regular people. The country is on a reckless path right now, and pulling it back is going to require real urgency, intention and courage. If you value honest, unfiltered conversations like this — and want to help me keep building something that can actually break through — help me keep them going.
