Hey folks—
I had a powerful conversation with Iowa Senate candidate Nathan Sage about what it’ll take for Democrats to rebuild trust with working people. We got into Trump’s weird Veterans Day speech, the shutdown “compromise,” and the gap between political performance and the economic reality for most Americans.
[00:01:07] Trump’s Arlington speech and why real veterans see right through the show.
[00:08:30] Service vs. spectacle—Nathan on what Veterans Day should actually mean.
[00:16:45] The shutdown deal and how Democrats keep losing the working-class fight.
[00:24:10] Reclaiming patriotism from the people who only wear it like a shield.
[00:32:20] How Iowa can go blue again—one county, one conversation at a time.
This episode is essential for anyone who believes Democrats need to reconnect with working people, honor real service over spectacle, and rebuild trust in the places our party has forgotten.

With urgency,
—Mike
P.S. Sorry for the visual issues here on my end—not sure why, but we’ll keep working on upgrading the show. Audio should be good. Appreciate y’all.
