2026 Is the End of the Trump Era

Conservatives are starting to jump ship, and 2026 may mark the end of the Trump era. As high-profile MAGA loyalists quietly distance themselves and midterm losses loom, the illusion of invincibility is cracking. But this episode goes deeper than one man. It examines how outrage has fueled a broken political machine, how power protects itself while we fight each other, and why the real battle isn’t left versus right — it’s bottom versus top. If Trump’s political dominance is fading, the real question is whether we’ve learned anything at all.

Conservatives, Unite Against Trump!

Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/61__fzlQ7fE This is a call for conservatives to finally say out loud what many have long known: Donald Trump is not a conservative, he is a threat to conservatism itself. On guns, on due process, on the power of the state, and on the rule of law, Trump has governed like the very authoritarians the right once opposed. The choice is no longer political. It is ideological. Either conservatives abandon Trump, or they abandon their own creed.

Tim Pool Called Me Out. Let’s Get Into It.

Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/fCl47tCRs34 Tim Pool spent the last 12 minutes of his podcast going line by line through my recent Newsweek op-ed, calling me insane, unhinged, and a victim of Trump Derangement Syndrome, so I figured we should talk about it. In this episode, I walk through the opening of his critique, explain where he gets my argument wrong, and why this debate isn’t really about Trump at all, but about whether our institutions still have a working emergency brake when dangerous leaders return to power, and why so much modern commentary would rather fantasize about civil war than do the slow work of institutional repair.

Trump and the Standing Army the Founders Feared

Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/42Ih8v_Tgn0 In today’s episode, I break down Trump’s use of masked, militarized federal agents in Minneapolis and why the men who built this country feared a permanent domestic force more than any foreign enemy. Warrants, raids, executive power, and what happens when a republic stops restraining itself.

Trump "Likes Hells Angels"

A System That Cannot Restrain Trump Is No Longer a Republic

Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/99EdOxi6GSo On today’s Newsweek Radio, Jesse Edwards examines the most dangerous failure of the Trump era, not personality, but institutional collapse. When courts hesitate, Congress stalls, and accountability disappears, the republic is reduced to waiting for time to do what law no longer can. This is not a partisan critique. It is a warning about a system losing control of its own presidency. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is a really fun and thoughtful listen for folks who align themselves pretty much anywhere in the political spectrum. I wouldn’t call it “moderate” in tone, as it’s pretty much South Park in podcast form (read: libertarian) but I love the lack of blind political loyalty to anybody.
