Hey folks,
I jumped on with Don Lemon and Ahmed Baba and we didn’t hold back — on Trump, on Kash Patel, on the absolute chaos inside our institutions right now. We got into the lies, the strategy behind them, and what it all means heading into November. This isn’t just politics — it’s about whether any of this still holds together.
Here’s what we got into:
[00:01:07] We break down the coordinated attacks on ActBlue and the Southern Poverty Law Center — and why this is about choking off grassroots power, not “accountability.”
[00:03:10] Kash Patel’s unraveling: the lawsuit, the drinking allegations, and why discovery could blow everything up
[00:10:00] The “Charlottesville was a hoax” narrative — how the same recycled conspiracy playbook keeps getting repackaged
[00:15:12] Virginia results, turnout anxiety, and the real story behind gerrymandering fights heading into the midterms
[00:29:07] Ahmed joins — we talk Trump’s instability, Iran negotiations, and the growing sense that things are slipping out of control
This conversation covers a lot — disinformation, power grabs, voter suppression, and the internal weakness driving it all. But underneath it, there’s a throughline: they’re pushing harder because they know they’re vulnerable. And that matters. If you’ve been trying to make sense of the noise, this one helps connect the dots.
If you value honest conversations like this — unfiltered, urgent, and grounded in what’s actually happening — help me keep them going.
