Pour yourself a strong one, because this episode of In Vino Veritas is going deep. First, we unpack Trump’s latest authoritarian move—an executive order that would give him control over the FCC, FTC, and SEC. This isn’t just about policy shifts; it’s a blatant power grab that could reshape the country’s media, business, and financial landscapes.

Then, we take a sobering look at the eerie parallels between America in 2025 and Germany in 1933. With Trump’s rhetoric, attacks on democracy, and consolidation of power, are we watching history repeat itself in real-time? What lessons should we be learning before it’s too late?

But before we spiral into full existential dread, we end on a more personal note—friendships in your 30s. The energy, the effort, the expectations…it’s all so different from your 20s. Why is it harder to make and maintain friendships, and how do we adapt to this new reality?

Heavy topics, real talk, and a little wine to get through it all. This is In Vino Veritas. Cheers!
