The Homeless ConservativeEp085 - Two Old Men and a Nation In DenialIs Trump just confused... or losing it? And why is the media only willing to admit one side’s slipping?This week, I’m digging into the media’s selective outrage over cognitive decline — calling out how they covered for Joe Biden for years, only to pivot after his disastrous debate… while staying weirdly silent on Trump’s own spiral into boomer Facebook uncle energy. We’ll walk through Trump’s latest unhinged ideas (reopening Alcatraz? tariffing movies?), why he genuinely seems to believe a photoshopped gang tattoo is real, and how the press helped build thi...2025-05-0845 minThe Homeless ConservativeEp084 - Trump’s First 100 Days (Again): What Just Happened?Donald Trump is back in the White House, and his first 100 days of Term Two were anything but normal. In this episode, I break down what his early moves tell us about the direction of his second administration — and what it means for the future of governance in America.We get into the surge of executive orders, the shift in voter expectations around presidential power, and the economic shockwaves from Trump’s revived tariff policies. I explore how immigration became almost entirely a White House issue, why businesses are bracing for impact, and what centralized power in the executive bran...2025-05-0253 minThe Homeless ConservativeEp083 - How Can the Politically Exhausted Stay Engaged?Let's talk about the challenges of engaging with politics in today's evolving media landscape. Too many reasonable individuals are disengaging from political discourse and I think it's important to stay informed amidst a rapidly changing media environment. So let's talk about the need for honest communication and the value of diverse opinions in political discussions. If all the reasonable people check out of politics, only the unreasonable ones will be left dictating the future of the country. - cartoon credit Signe WilkensonCHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction...2025-04-2454 minThe Homeless ConservativeEp082 - Proof Trump is clueless on international tradeI don't love the blanket attack that Trump is "dumb". It's lazy. But in some situations, I think it's fair to point out his intellectual deficiencies in specific policy areas. In this case, I think it's apparent he has absolutely no idea how domestic manufacturing actually works, and understands global supply chains and trade about as well as my 8 year old. 2025-04-0448 minThe Homeless ConservativeEp081 - So far, it's been WORSE than I expectedWe're a little more than two months into Trump's second term, and even though I was nowhere near what anyone would call optimistic about how it would go, even I've been surprised just how off-the-rails it's been. From the unexplainable on-again, off-again tariff threats causing uncertainty in the U.S. economy, to his shocking attacks on judges and private law firms who dare rule against him or defend his enemies, or the straight up gaslighting his administration is attempting with Signalgate, it's been one bad thing after another. It's not that there aren't some good things happening, it's just...2025-03-271h 01

Its 100 minute length did not match its substance. In fact, I mostly think what mattered is what Trump didn't say during the speech.2025-03-0514 minThe Homeless ConservativeHow Trump's Tariffs Affect You Today + Ukraine Cut OffYesterday Trump "paused" all military support to Ukraine after Friday's Oval Office spat between Trump, Vance, and Zelensky. And then he announced 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico. How will these decisions affect Americans economically and geopolitically?

The Homeless ConservativeEp079 - Trump's disdain for the law, our allies, and AmericansOnly 3 weeks in and I'm pretty sure Trump has crossed the rubicon into DGAF territory. I lay out why it's already very clear Trump does not care one bit about the law or the Constitution, the American working class, or our allies. He cares about one person and one person only: himself. I go over his Department of Justice's dismissal of the bribery case against NY mayor Eric Adams, his insane insistence that Ukraine must be punished for the war they started (spoiler alert: they didn't start the war, Russia did), and how nothing going on at...2025-02-201h 04
