Hey folks,

Tonight I sat down with my friend and political scientist Rachel Bitecofer, and we got very real about the moment we’re living in. We talked about Trump’s sudden “support” for releasing the Epstein files, his public war on Marjorie Taylor Greene, and why Democrats keep bringing a knife to what is now basically a gun fight. If you care about winning in 2026 and actually saving democracy, this one is a must-watch.

  • [00:01:07] Rachel talks about how the last two months have upended her life and pulled her deeper into warning people about what’s coming rather than just analyzing politics.

  • [00:05:47] We dig into Trump’s sudden embrace of releasing the Epstein files and how it’s exposing the cracks and conspiracies inside his own coalition.

  • [00:11:36] Rachel breaks down why affordability is the Democratic opening — and how Trump has openly betrayed his own base on the economy.

  • [00:24:32] We unpack how consultants keep running the same cookie-cutter ads, ignoring narrative and emotion, and why campaigns that build real villains and heroes actually win.

  • [00:35:20] I talk about why political ads must make people feel seen — and Rachel explains why bad testing tools and small sample sizes keep leading Democrats astray.

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of watching Democrats play nice while the other side sets everything on fire—and wants a concrete roadmap for how we fight back on affordability, corruption, and democracy itself. If you value honest, unvarnished conversations like this—and guests like Rachel who are willing to name what’s broken and how we fix it—help me keep them going.
