Episode 51 of Let’s Talk with Carl E. Long dives deep into the political moment we’re living in — and the history that helped shape it.
In this episode, Carl examines how Republican lawmakers have become both emboldened and restrained under the influence of Donald Trump, often choosing silence over accountability. As small cracks begin to appear — including recent public disagreements from figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene — the question becomes: What’s really happening behind closed doors?
From there, the conversation takes a historical turn, exploring the Trump family lineage — from his grandfather Friedrich Trump, to his father Fred Trump, and the family dynamics that shaped Donald Trump’s worldview. The episode also reflects on the perspectives of Judge Maryanne Trump Barry and Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, whose insights offer a rare look inside the Trump family itself.
The discussion then shifts to the present and future of Democratic leadership, including Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s bid for U.S. Senate in Texas, what her campaign represents, and why her voice is resonating far beyond her district.
This episode connects past and present — power, legacy, political fear, and the courage it takes to speak up.
