He argues that the headlines may be serving as a distraction from a much larger transition happening in real time — a new wave of leaders positioning themselves to take control ahead of 2028. Tory breaks down why he believes the “old guard” is being phased out and what that could mean for politics, culture, and technology. Tory shifts to a situation unfolding in North Carolina and responds to calls urging him to get involved. He explains his stance on when to step in — and when communities must take responsibility themselves.
