🔥 Trump’s approval rating plummets—even Nick Fuentes is turning on him

How Trump's treating America's Veterans with Marcus Flowers Mar 07, 2025

Show notes

Join co-hosts Tara Setmayer & Michelle Kinney, along with special guest Marcus Flowers from Hold The Line PAC, as we expose Trump’s latest betrayal of America’s veterans. 30% of federal workers are veterans, and Trump is gutting the programs they rely on while using them as political props.

We’ll also discuss our latest rapid-response video, “Betraying the Brave,” produced with Hold The Line PAC, calling out Trump’s disgraceful record on veterans. Don’t miss this critical conversation.

Curtis Yarvin: The Most Dangerous Tech Bro You’ve Never Heard Of Feb 21, 2025

Show notes

You may not know his name, but you should. Curtis Yarvin—also known as Mencius Moldbug—is the architect behind the ultra-right-wing tech bro ideology fueling MAGA’s latest evolution. His vision? A post-democracy America ruled by a ‘CEO king’ with the bodies of the "underclass" used for biodiesel —and his biggest fan? The far-right elite shaping Washington DC and the future of life as we. know it.

Join us as we break down who Yarvin is, why Silicon Valley extremists are listening to him, and why his influence on the right should scare the hell out of all of us.

Join Tara and Michelle LIVE for The Stakes at 7:30PM ET. We’re cutting through the noise and dissecting the real threats to our democracy. Don’t miss it.
