Greg Olear is back! He's the author of Rough Beast, PREVAIL columnist & podcaster, and co-host of The Five 8 on YouTube.

Topics: We talked about Gavin Newsom's political strategy, and how his engagement with Trump is both effective and entertaining. Greg highlighted the importance of strong opposition leadership in the US, and compared current political dynamics to the rise of Hitler in Nazi Germany, emphasizing the lack of effective resistance in the early stages. Several Democratic governors are showing up for democracy, and more Democratic leaders need to step up their game. Melania came up--why is no one questioning her about her thoughts on Epstein and his relationship with her husband? All that and more!

Rachel is back and her new book is titled Hit 'Em Where It Hurts: How to Save Democracy by Beating Republicans at Their Own Game, and she's the co-host of This is America on The Cycle on Substack.

Topics: The 2026 midterms--where the focus needs to be, and will there even be elections? Musk’s possible third-party threat would hurt GOP if he actually goes through with it; Democrats are progressing in their fight against fascism, but the party as a whole is still not getting it; MAGA is currently unraveling over the Trump regime claim there is no list or that it’s a “Democrat hoax,” but will it last or does it eventually go away? If we want to win, it’s up to us to make sure the people in our lives who aren't paying attention understand what’s happening.

We briefly discuss the trump/Musk feud and what it could mean if Musk follows through with a third party; how MAGA is reacting to the news there are no Epstein files; Democrats need a more unified messge and they need to delay, obstruct and fight MAGA every step of the way. Last, we talk about how grassroots organizing has always been the way of change and how we all need to recognize our individual power in the face of fascist autocracy.

Steph is back!

We had an in-depth chat about how the current fascist regime is affecting us-- us meaning all of us--and why it's so important to engage. Steph shared a story from grade school when she witnessed racism from a teacher, she told her father, and he confronted the principal--the outcome was positive. We discuss where Democrats need to step up their game, and it's up to voters to pressure those who need a push. We covered a lot, and we hope you'll come along for the ride.
