Hey folks,
I jumped on a quick live with Adam Mockler and we covered a lot in about twenty minutes — war, lies, media consolidation, and why independent voices matter more than ever. We talked about the horrific school bombing in Iran, the complete lack of accountability in Washington, and why the media landscape is about to change in a big way.
Here are a few moments you don’t want to miss from the recording:
00:01:07 The conversation opens with the devastating school bombing in Iran — early reporting suggests a U.S. Tomahawk missile may have hit a girls’ school, killing more than a hundred children, while the administration scrambles to deny responsibility.
00:04:47 Adam breaks down what he calls the administration’s “transparency crisis” — from war messaging to investigations that mysteriously disappear when they get too close to powerful people.
00:08:10 I respond to Bill O’Reilly attacking younger Americans as the “earbuds generation” and explain why people won’t sacrifice for a country that no longer feels like it’s fighting for them.
00:15:00 We dig into the culture of pardons and impunity in Trump-world — and why so many officials seem convinced they’ll never be held accountable for anything.
00:21:05 We wrap on the looming Warner Bros. media merger and why independent media — the kind you’re supporting here — is becoming more important than ever.
This episode is about more than one war or one scandal. It’s about a pattern: leaders who lie, institutions that refuse to hold anyone accountable, and a media ecosystem that’s increasingly controlled by a handful of powerful interests. Conversations like this are why independent media matters — because if we don’t build our own platforms, someone else will decide what the truth looks like. If you value honest conversations like this, help me keep them going.
