Hey folks,
I sat down with Isaiah Martin and we did what we always do—cut through the noise and say the quiet part out loud. We talked war, money, media spin… and yeah, we went off a little.
Here’s what we got into:
[00:01:07] We kick things off with Republicans sneaking a $1 billion ballroom into a budget bill—and why it perfectly sums up everything broken right now
[00:05:10] Isaiah walks through his CNN appearance and the moment conservatives completely lost it when confronted with basic facts
[00:09:45] The Iraq playbook all over again—how power vacuums, bad decisions, and zero accountability keep repeating
[00:14:00] We spiral (in a good way) into Sarah Paulson, Trump, and the exact moment things started going off the rails
[00:25:20] The conversation turns personal—why this isn’t abstract politics, but about real people we know being sent into wars with no justification
This episode is about more than headlines. It’s about who pays the price for bad leadership—and who keeps getting richer while the rest of us are told there’s “no money” for anything that actually helps people. If you’ve been feeling that disconnect, if you’re tired of the same recycled nonsense, this conversation is for you. And if you value honest conversations like this, help me keep them going.
