Hey folks,
Adam Mockler and I did our midweek check-in and… yeah, this one’s a lot. We dug into what’s really going on with Republicans retiring in droves—and how it connects to Trump, the war, and a party that feels like it’s coming apart in real time. You can feel the stakes shifting.
Here’s what we got into:
[00:01:08] The numbers don’t lie: the largest wave of Republican retirements since 1930—and what that signals for the midterms
[00:03:30] Trump’s approval is collapsing, even with his base. What happens when the floor starts falling out?
[00:06:30] The 15% drop that could swing everything—and why Republicans are jumping ship early
[00:10:05] Trump’s speech, the war narrative, and a strategy that keeps changing because there’s no real plan
[00:15:45] Follow the money: who’s actually benefiting from this war—and why it’s not you
This episode is about accountability, truth, and whether people in power are willing to put the country ahead of themselves. We’re watching a party fracture, a narrative unravel, and decisions being made that affect all of us. If you’ve been trying to make sense of it, this conversation will help connect the dots. Help me keep these conversations going.
