Hey folks,
I went live with Pat Dennis in the middle of a brutal few days. We talked about Minnesota, ICE, Trump’s response, and the cracks finally starting to show inside MAGA. This conversation hit deep — politically and personally.
Here are a few moments to jump to if you’re watching the replay:
[00:01:07] We check in emotionally — why this weekend felt different, heavier, and harder than most
[00:04:00] Trump sends Tom Homan to Minnesota — and why treating this like a PR problem won’t work
[00:08:02] Why Kristi Noem is likely getting thrown under the bus as MAGA starts to panic
[00:13:18] The polling reality Republicans don’t want to face — and the fear starting to creep in
[00:26:18] A pause from politics: protecting your mental health in a country flooded with violence
We get into the execution of Alex Pretti, the lie that this is “about optics,” the terrifying lack of accountability, and why extremism always collapses under its own weight. We also talk honestly about burnout, grief, and why stepping away — even briefly — is sometimes an act of survival. If you value honest, unfiltered conversations like this — the kind that don’t flinch when things get ugly — help me keep them going.
