In America, Truth Officially Died On November 5th. That's Such A Dangerous Thing

Trump sat down yesterday with NBC for his first media interview since he won. And virtually every word out of his mouth was a lie. Was untrue. But Americans made clear in November, that they don't care that they're being lied to like this. Forget about policy disagreements for a moment, how do we proceed as a people if so many Americans just fundamentally no longer care about the truth? What are the implications?

  • What Do We Do Now? A Conversation Between Two “Old” NeverTrumpers

    53:04|
    Long time conservative talk radio host/original NeverTrumper @SykesCharlie and I sat down to figure some stuff out. How did Trump win again? What’s the future for both political parties? What will these next four years look like? And what do all of us who believe in democracy and oppose authoritarianism do now?
  • Yes, The Newly Elected American President Is Acting Like A King, And He’ll Continue To Do So As Long As He Can Get Away With It

    42:49|
    Hundreds of executive orders issued, hundreds of Biden’s executive orders rescinded, people’s lives already impacted, fake emergencies invented, loyalty tests being carried out, open middle finger at the rule of law & the Constitution, open politicization of all federal health information…by all intents & purposes, Donald Trump is a King. And he won’t stop unless he’s stopped.
  • To MAGA, Woke Is Bad. To MAGA, Jesus Is Woke. So To MAGA, Jesus Is…

    38:58|
    A Washington, DC church bishop simply asked the President of the United States to show mercy and compassion. To follow the teachings of Jesus. And MAGA erupted and attacked her. And Trump demanded an apology. Also…government via executive order is not what our Founders intended. Because our Founders did not want to be ruled by a King.
  • He Said He’d Be A Dictator On Day One. No One Should Be Surprised

    41:16|
    Trump began his day taking an oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.” He spent the rest of his day violating that oath. But NO ONE should be surprised. He told us he’d do this. The question is: Will the American people care? I hope so. And…the dangers of hyper partisanship. On full display yesterday. Actually, they’ve been on display for a number of years.
  • Today, An Utterly Horrible Human Being Will Become President. What Happens These Next Four Years Is On Us.

    44:07|
    He's the most corrupt person on the planet, and we knowingly reelected him again. He's pledged to jail his political opponents, so Joe Biden was right to issue preemptive pardons. Because Trump lies as he breathes, here's the facts on the great economy he is inheriting. Do I want Trump to succeed? I want America to remain free, democratic, and prosperous. That's my answer.
  • Joe Biden’s Final Words To The U.S. Military: Remember Your Oath

    39:33|
    A bunch of stuff this Friday: Democrats, your brand absolutely sucks. That’s what you need to focus on. And while we’re at, sure Elon is a horse’s ass, but going after billionaires isn’t gonna help you politically. Also, I said 13 yrs ago the “two state solution” is an impossibility. It still is today. Finally, we don’t have kings in America, right? Right?
  • He & I Have Very Different Opinions On What Genocide Is. So We Sat Down

    48:45|
    Anthony Conwright & I agree on very little. He’s a young, black progressive, I’m an old, white libertarian. He believes Israel is committing genocide, I most emphatically don’t. He wrote a very thought provoking piece about how the term genocide came into being and what it means and should mean. So we’re sat down to discuss it.
  • In America, The Attorney General Is NOT The President’s Lawyer. He/She Is The People’s Lawyer.

    34:48|
    Hearings began today for Trump’s pick for Attorney General, Pam Bondi. Most Americans don’t understand who or what the attorney general is. The AG is the top law enforcement officer in the country. The AG is NOT the President’s lawyer. The AG must be independent. Must not be political. Pam Bondi fails that test. She should not be appointed. And…well done Michelle Obama.
  • I’m Not Sad About What’s In The Special Counsel Report. I’m Sad The American People Don’t Care About What’s In It

    34:59|
    Jack Smith's final January 6th report is out, spelling out in great detail the crimes Trump committed trying to retain power. I read it with profound sadness. Sad because the American people don’t care about it. And they should care. For the sake of our democracy, they must care. Also…good on Kamala.
