Hey folks — this one was a ride. I’m back with my friend Simon Rosenberg, and we didn’t waste a single minute. We went straight at the corruption, the cowardice, and the absolute rot that’s setting in — from celebrity grifting to media cover-ups to what 2026 could really look like if we’re honest with ourselves. This conversation got blunt. If you’re trying to make sense of where we are — and what comes next — you don’t want to miss this one.

Timestamps

[00:01:44] Nicki Minaj shows up at Turning Point — and we break down why MAGA’s celebrity grift always comes with a price tag
[00:07:28] Epstein, pardons, and why accountability collapsing is killing faith in democracy
[00:12:34] Democrats start naming crimes as crimes — and why that shift actually matters
[00:22:00] Barry Weiss spikes the CBS / 60 Minutes story — and what it says about media capture
[00:33:19] Simon’s unfiltered 2026 preview: what should excite us, and what should scare the hell out of us

This episode covers a lot of ground — celebrity politics, Trump’s corruption machine, the media failing in real time, and why 2026 is shaping up to be a full-scale general election, not a normal midterm. If you value democracy, accountability, and winning the fights that matter, help me keep transparent conversations like this going.
