  • Something Bad on the Wind
    Nov 21 2024

    On today’s episode of The Blindspot, I talk about what happens next now that President-elect Trump has won reelection. I explain why I think it will be bad in many ways, discuss the differences between policy and personality, and make the case that Trump, by either intent or nature, is a wannabe dictator. I outline what I expect to happen when he assumes office and present a provisional case against him. Enjoy!

  • Low Key Panic
    Oct 27 2024

    With just ten days left until Election Day and the race neck and neck, today’s episode of The Blindspot dives into the cracks in Kamala Harris’s campaign strategy. Motivated by a low-key panic, I lay out the missteps: from her missed opportunity to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast to a muddled messaging strategy and dodging key questions that demand clear answers. And on top of it all, there's her failure to break meaningfully from the President when it matters most. I break down what a campaign needs to do in these final days to secure a win, and why her team might be struggling to get it right. Enjoy!

    Oct 25 2024

    On the latest episode of *The Blindspot*, I’m joined by my favorite Uber driver, Richard, at Willington Pizza to dig into the upcoming election and the state of American politics. We cover my curious connection to Hunter Biden’s crack mule, discuss issues like tribalism, government financial mismanagement, immigration, and why everything feels so messed up. What begins as a casual chat turns into a thoughtful exchange on the country’s biggest challenges. Enjoy!

  • A Very tight Race
    Oct 17 2024

    On today’s episode of The Blindspot, I tackle the 2024 election, which is so close that predicting a winner feels impossible right now. With just three weeks to go, Democrats are in full-blown panic mode, especially as new polling shows a significant drop in nonwhite support. With the clock ticking, there’s no time left to course-correct—they're stuck with the choices they've made. I dig into why this shift could be a game-changer, offer my take on how it happened, and explore the bigger implications for the Democratic Party's future messaging. Enjoy!

  • I've Been Thinking a Couple of Things
    Oct 12 2024

    Recently, acclaimed author Ta-Nehisi Coates appeared on *CBS Sunday Morning* to promote his new pro-Palestine book, *The Message*, but found himself in the crosshairs of Tony Dokoupil's sharp questions. Smelling the controversy like a vulture drawn to rotting meat, I couldn’t resist diving in headfirst. In this episode, I break down the heated exchange, unpack the shifting dynamics of the Middle East, reflect on the twists in American policy over the past year, and share my unfiltered thoughts on what’s really going on — and where the pundits in my life are nailing it or missing the mark. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

  • It Takes Two to Tango
    Oct 5 2024

    Today on The Blindspot, I examine Israel's increasingly bloody conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon, including the assassination of Hezbollah's leader, Hasan Nasrallah. I explore the key motivations behind the decisions being made by various actors and break down what the U.S. should or shouldn’t do in response. From there, I delve into the larger themes of geopolitics, war, and the obligations that nations have to their citizens—and the obligations citizens have to their nations. Expect a lot of hot takes and unfiltered analysis. Enjoy!
