I shout this from my mountain top every day - the most powerful animating force in my former political party is white, Christian nationalism. It’s scary, it’s dangerous, and it’s utterly un-American. But our 15yr old Sec of Defense demanded it again yesterday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I sat down with long time venture capitalist and author & producer Ted Dintersmith to talk about all things education, AI, who needs to go to college and who doesn’t, math, and his new book coming out next week “Aftermath: The Life-changing Math That Schools Won’t Teach You.” Fascinating conversation.

I’m a proud Zionist and a huge supporter of Israel. And whenever I say that, I get bombarded by ugly personal attacks from the left. And whenever I say I oppose Trump’s war against Iran and I oppose Netanyahu, I get bombarded by personal attacks from the right. Is this now the norm? We can’t just disagree? Hosted on Acast.

A group of Republican sheriffs, appointed to an immigration commission by Gov DeSantis for their hardline positions on immigration, just stunned DeSantis and Trump with their request. Stop deporting immigrants without criminal records. Further evidence that Trump has gone way, way too far on immigration enforcement. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Another person died in ICE custody over the weekend, that’s 12 so far this year. This one was an Afghan National, here legally, who fought along side our troops in Afghanistan for over a decade. Why the fuck was he destined in the first place? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I’m hearing this more and more - those of us who oppose Trump’s war against Iran are being accused by his MAGA cheerleaders of rooting against America, or hoping America loses this war. Which is ugly, partisan bullshit. Questioning one’s patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I sat down with political commentator & thinker Kurt Bardella to talk where things are at this midterm year. And it ended up to a large degree a conversation about what Democrats must do to succeed this year and beyond. Good stuff. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Speaker Johnson said Republicans have had just “a little hiccup” with Latino & Hispanic voters because of immigration enforcement. Wrong Mike Johnson. Masked federal thugs lawlessly roaming our streets terrorizing Latino & Hispanic folks is way, way worse than just a little hiccup. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

11 people have died so far this year in ICE detention centers. That follows 31 who died last year while being detained…a two decade high. Conditions are filthy, unsanitary, not at all appropriate for human beings. These care concentration camps. In America. Did I tell you this is happening right now in America? Hosted on Acast.

America right now is a county that no one wants to come to, vacation in, go to school in, work in, invest in, do business with, or become a citizen of. America right now is a country people fear and are disappointed in and disgusted with. MAGA, MAGA. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The White House last night put out a video describing the war against Iran the way a 15yr old who plays video games non stop would describe the war. Also, a really bad February jobs report, and finally…the latest Pew Research study shows Americans view each other really, really poorly. Scary stuff. Hosted on Acast.

I sat down with longtime broadcast journalist Alisyn Camerota. We covered it all, her personal loss, how she chooses life every day to hep get through her grief, and how she’s reinvented who she is and what’s she’s interested in. I’ve always been a big fan of Alisyn. Really loved this conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I sat down with author and award winning writer, director, and producer Mark Vicente to discuss his upcoming film “The Narcissist’s Playbook.” The power of cults, leaders without conscience or empathy…an important topic for these times in which we are living.

I engage with hundreds of Trump’s supporters every day. Been doing it for years. The amount of anger, disillusionment, and confusion I’ve heard from them these past 4 days since Trump attacked Iran had been pretty off the charts. This matters. It really does. Hosted on Acast.

Trump is now on the side of the “deep state,” which is why he’s keeping the Epstein files hidden. He’s now on the side of “regime change,” which is why he’s just launched another war. I understand if plenty of MAGA is confused & disillusioned right now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our elections are the heartbeat of our democracy. Destroy our elections, and our democracy dies. Trump has been at war against our elections since 2026. He’s ramping up his war against our elections this year. So…what do you call someone who is at war against our elections? That’s right. Our enemy. Hosted on Acast.

Border patrol in Buffalo dumped a blind Burmese refugee on a street corner a week ago. He went missing for five days. He was found dead two days ago. Shame on border patrol. Shame on ICE. This must not be what America is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I didn’t watch his speech, I spoke at the State Of The Swamp event put on by defiance.org, Democrats as a whole should’ve boycotted the speech, he lied and stoked division, that’s all he’s capable of, so ignore last night, focus on November. November is what matters. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
