In this extended conversation, DeAntony Collins sits down with attorney and former North Carolina House candidate Antoine Marshall to break down what’s actually happening across all three branches of government — and how those decisions are affecting everyday people.

From congressional strategy and election law, to Supreme Court challenges and executive power, this episode connects the dots between policy and real life.

We cover:
– DHS funding and shutdown politics
– The SAVE Act and election access
– Congressional authority and war powers
– Birthright citizenship and the Supreme Court
– Executive decisions, military positioning, and global alliances
– NATO, international stability, and U.S. leadership
– Gas prices, farmers, and the real economy
– Market reactions, messaging, and public trust

This isn’t about headlines.

This is about impact.
