In a thought-provoking discussion, Mike Madrid, a Republican consultant and Lincoln Project co-founder, analyzes the implications of the Jeffrey Goldberg Signal scandal on Trump’s administration and the Republican Party. He delves into the shifting Latino vote, revealing how third-generation Latinos are aligning more with conservative values, influenced by economic factors and identity.

Join Matt Lewis as he sits down with Ryan Grim, reporter at Drop Site News, author of We've Got People, and cohost of Counter Points, to unpack Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's explosive "Fighting Oligarchy" tour. With 30,000 people turning out in Denver, what does this massive rally mean for the future of the Democratic Party? We dive into the resurgence of populist energy, Bernie’s unshakable authenticity, AOC’s rising star status, and why young voters are flocking to their message. From class warfare to the pitfalls of "woke" politics, we explore whether this movement is too little too late — or the key to taking on Trump’s billionaire-backed GOP. Could Bernie still be the answer, or is a new outsider like Sean Fain or Marie Gluesenkamp Perez ready to step up? Topics Covered: -- The 30,000-strong Denver rally and its implications -- Bernie’s populist appeal vs. AOC’s identity politics challenge -- Why Democrats lost the working class — and how they might win it back -- Elon Musk, billionaires, and the new case for class consciousness -- Rising stars and the future of the party*** Get Ryan’s book 'We've Got People' https://www.amazon.com/Weve-Got-People-Jackson-Movement/dp/1947492381 and follow his work at DropSite News and Counterpoints!
