Politicians love to promise ‘law and order.’ But who does it really protect — the people, or those in power? In this episode of From Dirt We Grow, we dig into executive orders, broken systems, and the hypocrisy behind claims of justice, exposing how ‘safety’ often comes at the expense of our freedoms.

They say it’s about protecting innocent citizens, but what happens when law and order means censorship, mass incarceration, and protecting the powerful over the powerless? This episode challenges the narrative — and asks: Law and order for who?

Then the more challenging, too often disregarded step is to ask ourselves: Which account of the situations at hand make the most sense? How accurate are my sources? What further research can I do to be fully and truthfully informed?

Description:

This week on Political Catch Up with Stephanie & Rohan, we cut through the noise and bring you the truth behind the biggest political stories shaping America’s future. From Trump’s overturned $527 million fraud penalty to the FBI’s surprise search of John Bolton’s home, to the false claims fueling the war on mail-in voting, we expose what’s really at stake for U.S. democracy as the 2026 midterms approach. 🚨 The stakes couldn’t be higher: Project 2025, constitutional power grabs, and MAGA’s escalating lawfare strategy all point to one thing — an administration willing to rewrite the rules to hold power at any cost. But what does this mean for ordinary Americans, for the Constitution, and for democracy itself? PLUS!!!: Gavin Newsom's viral meme campaign that has Fox News commentators up in arms, Trump's false claims about international mail-in voting practices, and our analysis of the strategic implications heading into the crucial 2026 midterm elections.

Stephanie and Rohan connect the dots others miss — showing how legal battles, executive overreach, and disinformation campaigns fit into a larger strategy. We’ll also break down international voting systems, compare Trump’s fraud case to Adam Schiff’s controversies, and analyze how authoritarian tactics could shape the next election. If you care about democracy, accountability, and the future of America — this is the episode you can’t afford to miss. DISCLAIMER: Opinions are my own for editorial purposes. This Video is political commentary, opinion and satire. ---

They want you to read the words and believe they're truth. But what happens when the words are polished and the reality behind them is manipulated, misleading, and dirty?

In this episode of From Dirt We Grow, I breakdown the official White House website - not to debate politics, but to expose how language is weaponized to distract, divide, and distort the truth.

See the lies and hypocrises in all their glory with your own eyes, hiding in plain sight. You'll understand how government messaging manipulates perception. You'll leave with the clarity to question everything.

This week I have invited a college professor from UMBC who specializes in history, political science, and American studies. Conor joins me for a conversation about the effects current policies have had on our higher education institutions. We take a look at everything from the transgender community, to the ICE situation, to the canceling of programs that violate our rights; and our factual history. How are students, professors, and schools navigating this unprecedented and unconstitutional attack on the education of our future leaders? Don't miss this raw, real-life firsthand account that reveals how one individual's personal agenda can cause widespread, long-term damage to an entire society.

BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE NOW!!!

What if I told you the biggest threat to those in power isn’t a foreign adversary, a rogue politician, or even a broken system — it’s us. United.

In this episode, we dig deeper into the concept of unity — the one thing powerful enough to truly shake the foundations of our divided nation. We explore why politicians and media outlets work so hard to keep us at each other’s throats, and how differences have been weaponized to distract us from our shared struggles.

We’ll unpack the true cost of division: economic setbacks, community breakdown, and the erosion of critical thinking. We’ll also imagine what real unity could look like — and why it terrifies the people pulling the strings.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about left vs. right. It’s about the top vs. the rest of us.

If you’re tired of fighting your neighbors instead of the real enemy, this episode is for you. Let’s break the cycle and reclaim our power — together.

In this episode I invite another guest from beyond our borders to provide yet another view from the outside looking in. This time Sri from India joins me. He is a former journalist and very much versed in global affairs. The effects of the political decisions being made are not just felt by those of us closest to them, the whole world is feeling them. Join the conversation as we examine how the decline of politics at home sends shockwaves far beyond, affecting lives across the globe.

Changing routines is not easy, changing your mind about a deeply held belief is almost impossible, at least it seems that way. This episode covers a few topics as they relate to change. First we'll look at the real source of America's biggest problems. Spoiler: it's not your neighbors. While we're busy blaming each other, the government continues to slap band aids on deep systemic wounds rather than addressing root causes.

Change often stirs fear because it disrupts the familiar and challenges our sense of control. However, change itself is not the enemy, fear is. We naturally resist the unknown, clinging to routines that make us feel safe. By shifting our perspective - seeing change not as a threat, but as an opportunity - we open ourselves to evolution, wisdom, and progress. Embracing change is essential, because growth is impossible without it.

In this next segment we take a hard look at the version of Christianity often preached today. This version seems more rooted in control, judgment and political power than in love, humility, or truth. Why have we weaponized faith to avoid self-reflection and accountability? We are going to explore how religion, when distorted, can become a shield against personal growth instead of a guide toward it. This isn't about attacking belief, it's about reclaiming its original purpose.

What does the the rest of the world see from outside looking in, watching as America seems to be imploding from within? In this episode, I sit down with a guest from Ireland to explore how current U.S. politics and societal issues are perceived beyond our borders. Distance allows for clarity, which is precisely the reason for the occasional need to seek out the opinions or advice from an unbiased source in certain situations. This is absolutely one of those instances where, to do so, would most likely be beneficial. Get ready for an honest, eye-opening conversation that holds a mirror up to our nation - from the other side of the Atlantic.
