Hey folks,
Mike Madrid came back on the show and we didn’t even make it to the first topic before we were deep into what this moment actually means — Trump fatigue, the Epstein class, and whether something new is being forged in the wreckage of the last decade. We talked Prince Andrew. We talked corruption. And then we got into the numbers in Texas that should have Republicans sweating.
What we got into:
[00:01:07] Mike Madrid jumps in and we start talking about strange bedfellows — Joe Walsh, Thomas Massie, and the weird, hopeful coalition forming across party lines. Something is shifting. You can feel it.
[00:05:15] The “Epstein class” conversation begins. Not left vs. right — powerful vs. everyone else. We dig into what’s being covered up and why accountability still feels out of reach.
[00:15:00] Former Prince Andrew, arrests in the UK, and why it seems like Europe can hold elites accountable while America can’t. We ask the uncomfortable question: how deep does this rot go?
[00:21:53] I lay out what 2028 has to be about — breaking the Epstein class, banning insider trading, and nominating leaders with the stomach to actually use power for working people.
[00:28:21] Texas. Gerrymandering. A 31-point swing in a special election. We break down why Republicans may have overplayed their hand — and how this map could explode in November.
This episode is about more than Prince Andrew or one Senate race. It’s about whether we’re at the end of a dark decade — and what it would take to actually rebuild trust in this country. If you value honest conversations like this — ones that cut through the noise and actually wrestle with the stakes — help me keep them going.
