HOT TOPICS | Yet Another Shooting! White Men...Are You Okay?! - September 29th, 2025

The United States is no longer a land of opportunity—it’s a playground for oligarchs. While millions struggle to afford basic necessities like healthcare, housing, and food, the ultra-wealthy and those in power continue to prioritize tax cuts for the elite. The American Dream has been replaced by an American Nightmare. We'll take a deep dive into how unchecked corporate influence and extreme wealth hoarding have eroded the foundations of democracy and economic stability. We’ll also examine how some MAGA voters—who once believed Trump’s policies would help them—are now realizing the harsh reality of his economic agenda. Is this their FAFO moment?

The Trump administration and MAGA movement have made dismantling DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies one of their top priorities—and they’re delivering on that promise. From canceling all DEI initiatives in the federal government to turning the term into a political insult, efforts toward diversity and inclusion have been systematically rolled back. So what does this mean for workplaces, government agencies, and communities across the country? How does this impact civil rights, hiring practices, and representation at the highest levels? To break it all down, Don is joined by Dr. Alaysia Black Hackett, former Chief Diversity and Equity Officer for Biden’s Labor Department, for a deep dive into the consequences of these attacks and what comes next.

During the campaign, Trump swore he had nothing to do with Project 2025—claiming he didn’t know what it was and that it wasn’t part of his vision. But now that he’s back in office, his executive orders and sweeping government cuts look eerily similar to the blueprint laid out in the Project 2025 manual. And it doesn’t stop there. Many of his top cabinet members and advisors have direct ties to Project 2025, pushing its extreme agenda from inside the White House. So was Trump lying all along? Or is he just the figurehead for a much bigger movement reshaping the country from the inside out? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Donald Trump has been back in the White House for just three weeks, but the impact on our government has been swift and staggering. From the near-total shuttering of USAID to economy-wrecking tariffs and the pardoning of violent January 6th rioters, no institution seems safe from his administration’s reach. But here’s the real question—how are MAGA voters feeling now? Many of them depend on the very programs Trump is gutting. As social services disappear, jobs take a hit, and chaos unfolds, are they starting to feel the weight of their choice? Or is the loyalty still unshakable? Join Don live as we break down the sweeping changes, the consequences we’re already seeing, and whether the MAGA base is finally waking up—or doubling down. Learn more about your ad choices.
