359. Too Many of us are untethered to the truth
Too many Americans embrace conspiracies wherever they turn. Too many Americans refuse to believe basic truths. Our institutions, the media, our politicians, but yes, also "too many Americans" are to blame for this. Our democracy will have a hard time thriving as long as this remains the case. Hosted on Acast.

358. It's A Club
They all belong to the same club. The politicians, Republican and Democrat, the people who work for the politicians, and the cable news talking heads. They all belong to the same elitist, DC/NYC insider club. And they all play the same revolving door game. And the rest of the country doesn't. Hosted on Acast.

357. An Old Guy & A Gen Z Gal Chat
I think Gen Z could use a respectful kick in the butt. She thinks my generation doesn't understand and is too judgmental. I sat down with Sara Brick, a freshman at the University of Delaware for a government and take and a back and forth on all things Gen Z. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

356. Defeat Trump. Reform Our Politics In that order
Yes our politics is broken. Our political system is broken. We need HUGE reform. More parties, open primaries, and on, and on...but that all has to come AFTER 2024. Trump is an existential threat to our democracy. Our only focus now must be defeating him. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

355. He's not funny, he's scary
I don't like talking about the horserace when it comes to Trump. He's an existential threat to our democracy. He's utterly un American. He's humanly incapable of empathy. There's nothing funny about any of that. Keep your sense of urgency when you talk about and think about Trump. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

354. If The Feds Aren't Doing Their Job...
The Supreme Court today ruled that Texas could continue to enforce their controversial law of arresting people who enter their state illegally. Good. It was the correct ruling. If the Feds aren't doing their job and protecting the border, a state should have the right to. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
