    Trump, Shapiro, Cox & the Collapse of Moral Leadership in America

    America is exhausted. In this candid political conversation, we dig into why moral leadership and basic civility feel so rare in U.S. politics right now. From Governors Josh Shapiro and Spencer Cox to Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene, we talk about how our leaders speak, what they reward, and what that says about us as voters. Are we being programmed by algorithms and outrage machines, or are our politicians simply giving us what we ask for? We break down: Why thoughtful, civil dialogue feels so refreshing Whether Trumpism survives after Trump How social media and cable news shape our worst instincts The responsibility of governors, presidents, and regular citizens What most Americans actually want from leadership in 2024 and beyond If you’re tired of performative politics and want a real, honest discussion about America’s future, this conversation is for you.

    Hegseth’s Drug Boat Strikes Are Illegal — “People Need To See This”

    A secret Navy video of U.S. strikes on suspected drug traffickers at sea is shaking Capitol Hill. Rep.

Jim Himes serves as the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, overseeing U.S. intelligence and national security issues including covert operations, surveillance, and war powers. 👍 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you don’t miss our next interview.
