Breaking Bread: What a Shitshow Trump’s First Year Back Has Been
Breaking Bread with Mike Nellis & Katie Phang LIVE— Tuesdays @ 12pm ET
|
| |||||||||||||||
Hey folks,
I sat down with Katie Phang for a long, unfiltered episode of Breaking Bread, and we covered everything from frozen Bears games to the very real, very disturbing reality of ICE propaganda, two-tiered justice, and what public safety actually means right now. We laughed. We vented. We got angry. And we told the truth.
What we got into:
[00:01:19] Katie breaks down the Chicago Bears playoff game — the cold, the chaos, and why Midwest decency still matters
[00:11:58] The guilt of unplugging: how we balance family, burnout, and staying present in a nonstop news cycle
[00:17:08] ICE agents, cameras on the jet bridge, and why filming deportations feels like state-sponsored propaganda
[00:22:10] Bearing witness: why cell phone footage has become one of the most powerful tools against abuse of power
[00:30:44] “Thank a Republican”: public safety, corruption, pardons, and the two-tiered justice system laid bare
This episode is about more than politics. It’s about humanity. It’s about what happens when power is abused, when propaganda replaces accountability, and when ordinary people are forced to carry the weight of a broken system. Katie brings the legal clarity. I bring the righteous anger. Together, we try to make sense of it — and remind each other why this work matters. If you value honest conversations like this, help me keep them going.
