Today’s topic: Let’s revive the American Dream.

I talk about my own background alongside my cohost Tony, and how upward mobility in America feels dead for a huge number of people. We discuss why so many Americans say “both parties suck” — and honestly, there’s truth to that. But we also talk about how one party currently controls virtually everything at the national level, and Republicans control Niagara County locally.

At some point, democracy requires pushback. It requires tension. Even if you think Democrats are flawed, does anyone really think one-party control with zero accountability is healthy?

Then we get into Trump and China — and what an absolute fiasco it all is.

Did you know Trump brought Hollywood producer Brett Ratner on a China trip? Yes, the same Brett Ratner accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women and reportedly connected to Epstein-related reporting and photos. Somehow THAT was part of America’s image abroad.

It’s bizarre. It’s embarrassing. And it perfectly captures how unserious and chaotic modern American politics has become.

We break all of it down live.
