Hey folks,
Adam Mockler and I did not hold back. We talked about the economy spiraling under Trump, the absolute chaos coming out of this administration, and why so many Americans are feeling exhausted, isolated, and fed up. This conversation got personal at times. Angry at others. But mostly, it was honest. You can feel the tide turning.
Here’s what we got into:
[00:01:57] We break down the brutal new polling for Trump’s economy — including sky-high disapproval numbers and why Americans are finally rejecting the gaslighting around inflation and rising costs.
[00:05:40] Adam and I talk about the Republican Party’s accelerating radicalization, MAGA primary purges, and the terrifying long-term consequences of rewarding conspiracy politics.
[00:08:34] We dig into the dysfunction inside Trump’s administration — from Kash Patel’s disastrous public appearances to cabinet chaos, resignations, and what looks like total incompetence at the top.
[00:15:35] The conversation turns to the economy in a deeper way: bankruptcies rising, young people crushed by debt, housing becoming impossible, and Trump openly admitting he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial struggles.
[00:23:34] We end on what comes next — the midterms, accountability, organizing, and why giving up is exactly what these people want us to do.
We talked about loneliness, frustration, economic anxiety, and the very real fear that things could get worse if we stop paying attention. But we also talked about hope — and why building community and staying engaged matters more now than ever.
If you value honest conversations like this, help me keep them going.
