Hey folks,

Today’s episode of Hack vs. Hunk is a must-watch. Stefan Smith and I dive into the chaos unfolding across the political landscape—from the Epstein letter bombshell to economic delusions straight from Trump’s mouth. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s exactly the kind of conversation we need right now.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• [00:03:00] A haunting deep dive into the newly surfaced Jeffrey Epstein “birthday book”—including Trump’s creepy doodles, Mar-a-Lago connections, and the stunning banality of evil.

• [00:14:00] Trump’s surreal radio interview where he fumbles basic economic facts. We ask: is he lying—or is he being lied to?

• [00:22:00] A powerful breakdown of the economic incentives (or lack thereof) for starting a family in America today—featuring the absurdity of Republican “baby bonds.”

• [00:30:00] The white panic behind the attacks on DEI and affirmative action, and how fear of losing cultural dominance is fueling policy regression.

• [00:33:00] History nerd gold: we compare today’s political moment to the Gilded Age, the Reagan jelly bean era, and the return of Tammany-style machine politics.

We’re building Endless Urgency into something real here. Help me grow this movement, fund better our work, and create a space that cuts through the noise to what’s happening to our country.

With urgency,

—Mike
