Hey folks,
Don Lemon joined me live, and this one went places.
We start with the absolute weirdness of the Manosphere and online culture, we get into the latest political scandals, and eventually we land on the bigger story: Trump, the economy, the midterms, and whether voters are finally exhausted by the chaos. We laughed a lot. We got serious. And, yes, Don made me answer for white people.
[00:01:09] Don and I try to make sense of the Manosphere, Andrew Tate, Looksmaxxing, and some truly bizarre corners of internet culture.
[00:04:34] We get into politicians, personal scandals, allegations, and the very different ways the two parties respond when one of their own becomes a problem.
[00:08:16] The conversation turns to Trump’s fight with the media, culture-war politics, and why I think Democrats should keep bringing the conversation back to the economy and corruption.
[00:11:55] Don shares what he’s seeing on the ground, while we talk about polling, Republican voters, the midterms, and signs of Republicans beginning to break with Trump on key issues.
[00:13:28] Are we exhausted? Absolutely. Don and I talk honestly about political burnout after a decade of Trump, and somehow end with an impromptu Trump impression.
This is one of those conversations that moves from ridiculous to serious and back again. Don and I talk internet culture, political accountability, Trump, the media, the economy, voter frustration, and what we’re both hearing as the midterms approach. Sometimes you need the analysis. Sometimes you need to laugh at how completely absurd all of this has become. This one has both. If you value honest conversations like this, help me keep them going.
