Hey folks,

I went live today with my friend Joe Walsh, and we talked about the surgery, the recovery, and that weird mental space you end up in when your body is healing but the world keeps spinning. Then we got into the politics — Trump firing Kristi Noem, the collapsing jobs numbers, and the dangerous mess unfolding with Iran. It’s personal. It’s political. And honestly, it’s the kind of conversation I think a lot of us needed this week.

Here’s what we got into:

• 00:01:07 — I give Joe the real update on the surgery recovery: what the good days feel like, what the bad days feel like, and the strange psychological toll that comes with healing.

• 00:06:24 — We break down Trump abruptly firing Kristi Noem and why it’s less a show of strength and more a sign of political panic.

• 00:09:52 — The economy conversation gets serious: lost jobs, stagnant wages, tariffs, and why Trump may have inherited a strong economy only to derail it.

• 00:18:20 — Joe and I dig into the war with Iran — why it’s unconstitutional, politically risky, and dangerously unclear in its goals.

• 00:27:33 — A blunt debate about whether Democrats should fund the war at all — and why this could become a defining political mistake.

Joe and I don’t always agree on everything, but that’s exactly why these discussions matter. If you value honest conversations about politics, accountability, and where this country is headed, help me keep them going.
