All Episodes

May 7, 2025 • 41 mins

Tristan sits down with Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) to talk about the administration’s brazen corruption. Murphy reveals how his “Meme Act” legislation targets Trump’s cryptocurrency schemes, with CEOs now openly admitting they’re buying Trump coins to secure favorable tariff treatment.The conversation tackles “Signalgate”-where classified information flows through commercial apps-and exposes how unqualified Trump appointees conduct rogue diplomacy, including Kremlin negotiations without staff or translators. Murphy details how foreign governments have created a corruption playbook: bypass traditional channels and “shove cash into Trump’s pockets” through his billionaire enablers.Most chilling is Murphy’s warning about democracy’s quiet erosion: no tanks in the streets, just the steady dismantling of accountability while institutions stand paralyzed.

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
