Devastating Texas Floods, Grok Gone Wild, Elon Musk’s America Party, and More — With Mike Nellis and Don Lemon

Hey friends,

I’m back from vacation and sat down with Don Lemon for what turned into one of the most raw, unfiltered conversations I’ve had in a long time.

We talked about:

  • The horrifying flood in Texas and whether slashed budgets at FEMA and NOAA left people unprepared.

  • The deafening silence from mainstream media and why reporters are being told to “watch their tone” instead of doing their jobs.

  • How Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” cuts are coming back to haunt his own voters—and what that says about leadership in America today.

And yes—we also had to talk about Grok’s Hitler nightmare, Linda Yaccarino’s shocking exit from X, and the so-called “America Party” that Elon Musk is toying with. The stakes of this AI, media, and politics mashup couldn’t be higher, and honestly, too many people are asleep at the wheel.

👉 This is one of those episodes you don’t want to miss.

We deserve leaders who take responsibility. We deserve a government that’s ready when disaster strikes. And we deserve journalism that tells the truth, not one that’s muzzled by billionaires and fear.
