In this episode, I'm joined by my favorite political analyst, KG for a deep, unfiltered convo on the state of American politics, the economy, and the emotional toll it's all taking—especially on men. From Trump's possible 2028 run to supply chain fears and the media's obsession with crisis, we unpack what's real, what's hype, and what it means for everyday people.
We also dig into how young men are navigating their political identity, why they're often left out of campaign messaging, and the deeper existential question—do men even believe they deserve happiness? The conversation blends politics, masculinity, and mental health in a way that's honest, layered, and timely.
We also discuss:
🗳️ Trump 2028 and the media machine
💸 How tariffs and poor negotiations hurt Americans
🧠 Political identity, emotional repression & young men
