Hey folks,
I sat down with Congressman Greg Casar, and we talked about Trump’s escalating war with Iran, the cover-up around the Epstein files, and why the fight for accountability is bigger than just one scandal. And toward the end, we got into the chaos around FEMA and what it means when disaster response becomes political.
Here’s what we got into:
00:01:05 – Greg Casar lays out why Congress should refuse to fund Trump’s war with Iran—and why sending billions to another endless war while cutting healthcare is a moral failure.
00:04:24 – The bombing of a school in Iran and the administration’s denials: why transparency matters when children are killed in war.
00:06:10 – The Epstein files and the growing pressure for accountability. Casar explains why this scandal is about power, money, and a system rigged for the ultra-rich.
00:09:28 – “The Epstein class”: how billionaires operate in a different system than the rest of us—and why breaking that cycle is essential for a working-people politics.
00:12:37 – Kristi Noem’s firing, the gutting of FEMA, and why disaster relief delays can cost lives—especially in communities hit by floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes.
This episode connects a lot of dots—war, corruption, billionaire power, and the basic question of who government is supposed to serve. Greg Casar makes the case that people across the political spectrum are tired of a system where the powerful always win and everyone else pays the price. If you care about accountability, transparency, and building a politics that actually fights for working people, this conversation is for you. If you value honest conversations like this, help me keep them going.
