This week I joined Fox 5 DC’s Live Zone to talk about the whirlwind of corruption, chaos, and cruelty coming from Trump’s second-term agenda, and how it’s already impacting working families, Gen Z, and America’s global standing.

We unpack how the latest budget bill is nothing short of a billionaire’s wishlist—gutting $800 billion from Medicaid while handing tax breaks and regulatory handouts to Elon Musk and Trump’s mega-donor class. I also dive into Trump's attack on Harvard’s international student program, a move that doesn’t just target immigrants, it sabotages American innovation and education for decades to come.

And look, if you’re wondering why Gen Z is sliding away from Democrats, I lay it all out. From digital pipelines that radicalize young men to a party that too often feels like it’s scolding rather than inspiring, this segment is a gut check for progressives on messaging, strategy, and what it takes to win hearts—not just headlines.

We also hit on:

  • Trump’s economic instability: Why tariffs are wrecking small business confidence

  • The Democratic Party’s PR crisis with men of color and Gen Z

  • What we need to do now to build a more inclusive and aspirational coalition
