Hey folks,
I jumped on with Don Lemon and we covered a lot of ground. Texas politics, voter suppression, the MAGA civil war, and the escalating conflict with Iran. At moments it got blunt, a little dark, and honestly pretty real about where this country is headed right now. If you’re trying to make sense of the chaos — this one is worth your time.
Here’s what we got into:
00:01:07 The Texas voting chaos — what’s actually happening with polling locations and why Republicans keep building systems that make it harder for people to vote.
00:04:04 Trump’s Iran strikes are wildly unpopular — and the approval numbers suggest MAGA might be hitting a political ceiling.
00:07:05 The administration keeps contradicting itself about whether this is a war — and Trump’s own comments keep embarrassing his allies.
00:11:47 The staggering cost of Middle East conflict — tens of billions already spent, with Americans footing the bill.
00:17:21 The bigger problem: Trump has no governing strategy. No plan for the Middle East, no plan for getting out, and no vision beyond chaos.
We also talked about the fractures inside the Republican Party, why some MAGA candidates are suddenly losing primaries, and what all of it might mean for the 2026 Senate map. The truth is, the political ground in this country is shifting fast — and nobody really knows yet what replaces the mess we’re living through now.
If you value honest conversations like this — unscripted, unfiltered, and focused on what actually matters — help me keep them going.
