    Why Republicans Stay Silent, Trump’s Family History & Jasmine Crockett’s Senate Move

    Episode 51 of Let’s Talk with Carl E. Long dives deep into the political moment we’re living in — and the history that helped shape it. In this episode, Carl examines how Republican lawmakers have become both emboldened and restrained under the influence of Donald Trump, often choosing silence over accountability. As small cracks begin to appear — including recent public disagreements from figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene — the question becomes: What’s really happening behind closed doors? From there, the conversation takes a historical turn, exploring the Trump family lineage — from his grandfather Friedrich Trump, to his father Fred Trump, and the family dynamics that shaped Donald Trump’s worldview. The episode also reflects on the perspectives of Judge Maryanne Trump Barry and Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, whose insights offer a rare look inside the Trump family itself. The discussion then shifts to the present and future of Democratic leadership, including Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s bid for U.S. Senate in Texas, what her campaign represents, and why her voice is resonating far beyond her district. This episode connects past and present — power, legacy, political fear, and the courage it takes to speak up. #LetsTalkWithCarlELong #TrumpFamily #DonaldTrump #RepublicanParty #GOPPolitics #PoliticalPodcast #JasmineCrockett #TexasSenate #USPolitics #PoliticalCommentary #TrumpLegacy #Episode51

    “The Great American Con: Truth, Power, and the Fall of Integrity”

    In this explosive episode, I take a hard look at the truth behind the illusion — how Donald Trump conned the American people, how Kamala Harris’s 107 Days exposes a campaign built for her to fail, and how Secretary of Defense Pete Higgs’ brutal speech to America’s top generals revealed a system that’s lost its soul. This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about corruption, cowardice, and the cost of blind loyalty. It’s about what happens when we stop thinking critically and start worshipping false idols. I’m angry. I’m disappointed. But more than anything, I’m awake — and I’m asking America to wake up with me. Because the cost of staying asleep is the death of truth itself. #TheGreatAmericanCon, #DonaldTrumpLies, #KamalaHarris, #107Days, #PeteHiggsSpeech, #WakeUpAmerica, #PoliticalCorruption, #TruthToPower, #AmericanDemocracy, #PodcastCommentary

    "Silenced or Heard: The Battle for Free Speech in America"

    Free speech has always been called the cornerstone of American democracy — but is it truly free? In this episode, I take a hard look at what free speech means in today’s America, through the lens of power, race, and politics. From the reported assassination of Charlie Kirk to the sudden removal of Jimmy Kimmel Live, these events are sparking questions about who gets to speak, who gets silenced, and who pays the price for speaking out. As a Black man, I know the struggle to have our voices heard is nothing new. History shows us that when we speak truth to power, we’re often labeled as dangerous, while others are celebrated as patriots. This episode dives deep into that double standard, exploring whether free speech is under attack — or if it’s always been under attack for people who look like me. Join me for an honest, unfiltered conversation about power, voice, and what the future of free speech in America really looks like.

    Before We Don’t Recognize America: A Wake-Up Call

    Is the America we know slipping away? In this urgent episode, we explore the political and social forces that are reshaping the nation, from the decline of civil discourse to the rise of political polarization. We’ll examine how figures like Donald Trump are not just reacting to these changes, but actively driving them, particularly through rhetoric on crime and race. We'll trace a direct line from his family's real estate business and historic discrimination lawsuits to his modern-day policies and public statements. This isn't just a look at one man, but a stark look in the mirror at the values that define our country. Join us as we ask the hard questions: What is the cost of this division, and can we still turn back before the America we knew is gone for good? #Trump #Politics #PoliticalDivision #AmericanPolitics #RaceAndCrime #LawAndOrder #PoliticalPolarization #SocialChange #WakeUpCall #Podcast #History #CivilDiscourseLet’s Talk with Carl E Long
