Hey folks,

I sat down with Brian Bengs, an independent Senate candidate from South Dakota—and we got real about what it means to run outside the two-party system, the rage fueling voters across the spectrum, and how broken institutions have pushed so many people away from politics altogether. This is a must-watch if you care about where the country’s headed and want a glimpse of what true political independence can look like.

• [00:01:34] Brian explains why he left the Democratic Party—and how wearing a Trump hat doesn’t mean what you think in South Dakota

• [00:06:01] I lay out the core branding crisis facing Democrats—and push Brian on what independents mean for our long-term strategy

• [00:14:47] We break down the real economic pain people are feeling right now, and Brian shares the two big structural fixes he's focused on

• [00:18:04] The Epstein cover-up: what the DOJ didn’t hand over, why it stinks, and how the silence is eroding public trust across the board

• [00:28:00] Trump’s foreign policy chaos, Zelensky’s visit, and why what happens next in Ukraine may depend on who gets the last word in Trump’s ear
