Dyson shares personal stories from decades alongside Jackson, tracing his rise after Dr. King’s assassination, the Rainbow Coalition campaigns of 1984 and 1988, and the relentless activism that defined his final years. The discussion turns to who carries that mantle now and what leadership looks like in a moment many Americans feel is lacking it.

Gary Vee joins to talk about the algorithm-driven culture shaping politics, outrage, and self-worth — and why accountability, mindset, and economic opportunity may matter more than partisan warfare. Cuomo pushes back on whether social media is neutral, how political primaries reward extremes, and whether Americans still know how to disagree without dehumanizing one another.

Calls from listeners also take the conversation into the Epstein controversy, transparency, media credibility, and the danger of conspiracy culture replacing serious inquiry.
