Hey folks,
I was joined by Oliver Libby, author of Strong Floor, No Ceiling, and we got into violence, power, immigration, billionaires, the Democratic Party’s identity crisis, and what it actually takes to give people a real shot in this country.
[00:01:11] We react to the ICE shooting in Minneapolis and talk about what it says about power, accountability, and public trust
[00:08:17] Why rushed enforcement, quotas, and lack of training lead to tragedy — and why pretending otherwise is dangerous
[00:17:58] Oliver explains Strong Floor, No Ceiling and why America feels adrift right now
[00:24:01] Universal basic income, single-payer healthcare, and what a real economic floor actually looks like
[00:35:42] Using power: filibusters, courts, urgency, and why Democrats can’t afford to move slowly anymore
This episode is about more than one book or one policy fight. It’s about whether we’re willing to be honest about why people are angry, why the system feels rigged, and what it would actually take to rebuild trust and opportunity in this country. If you’re tired of grievance politics with no solutions — this one’s for you. And if you value honest conversations like this, help me keep them going.
