Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/99EdOxi6GSoOn today’s Newsweek Radio, Jesse Edwards examines the most dangerous failure of the Trump era, not personality, but institutional collapse. When courts hesitate, Congress stalls, and accountability disappears, the republic is reduced to waiting for time to do what law no longer can. This is not a partisan critique. It is a warning about a system losing control of its own presidency.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Along the way, the show breaks down the political memes of the week, because memes often tell the truth faster than headlines. From Trump’s public meltdowns to the moral rot he has normalized on the right, this is a raw look at what power without character does to people and how living through it has clarified where the lines actually are. The political memes of the week are officially on the table as a recurring segment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/sOV93Ak1-cgEveryone falls for lies. Everyone gets played. In this episode, Jesse Edwards explains why misinformation is unavoidable, disinformation is intentional, and Donald Trump became the most effective user of both. This is a rejection of tribal politics and a call to step back from the spectacle before it consumes us.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/7vkmInf85icBoth tribes are yelling about the ICE shooting in Minnesota, and both are getting it wrong. One tribe is calling it justified. The other is calling it murder. The reality sits in the uncomfortable middle. A woman is dead. An officer made bad decisions. And an activist put herself in a situation that common sense says was dangerous. This episode cuts through tribal loyalty, asks who’s actually accountable, and why we keep turning preventable tragedies into team sports.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/zs2cNdWREEYFor once, I’m giving Donald Trump credit where it’s due. Trump floated the idea of banning Wall Street and massive institutional investors from buying up single-family homes, and whether you love him or hate him, it’s a long-overdue idea that deserves support. In this episode, I explain why I’m backing the policy even as a hardcore never-Trump conservative, why I don’t trust him to follow through, and how his rare good instincts are constantly undermined by a lifetime of failed ventures, grift, and chaos. Yes, even Trump gets it right sometimes, just not often enough and not without breaking a few things along the way.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/NuN1F4-nbd4Donald Trump didn’t just break American politics, he exposed how hollow it already was. The right sold its soul to a transactional grifter. The left responded with performative outrage, geriatric leadership, and empty lectures while the house burned. The media rewarded the chaos, the lies, and the spectacle because it was profitable. Now even Trump’s own America First crowd is fracturing as loyalty flows one way and accountability flows nowhere. This isn’t a call for unity or compromise. It’s a call for radical centrism, the refusal to lie for anyone, the rejection of cults on both sides, and the last real chance for adults to take the country back from MAGA freaks, woke theater kids, and the outrage economy before it’s too late.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/cjWIkI9mLWUThis is not a partisan rant or a call to join a new tribe. It’s a direct reckoning with how extremism, cowardice, distraction, and tribal loyalty broke something fundamental in this country. Using real January 6 footage throughout, this monologue follows the path from frustration to clarity and asks a simple question: if neither side is willing to grow up, who is left to defend reality, persuasion, and adulthood? This isn’t about perfection. It’s about demanding better than this.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/iU6nXvw6eukDonald Trump once sold “America First” as a promise to end endless wars and foreign entanglements. Instead, he is delivering the opposite. After escalating in Venezuela, Trump is now openly threatening military or coercive action in Cuba, Mexico, Colombia, and even Greenland, moves that would have been unthinkable to his own base just a few years ago. In a political moment that should alarm everyone, Marjorie Taylor Greene has recently sounded like one of the sanest voices in the room by openly questioning Trump’s direction and broken promises. This episode cuts through the distraction and asks the uncomfortable question many conservatives are finally whispering out loud: if America First meant restraint, accountability, and putting our country before special interests, then what exactly are we watching now? This is not about party loyalty anymore. It is about recognizing a con before it finishes the job.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Watch on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/EB3VMf4v3-wDonald Trump didn’t stumble into the conspiracy right, he built it. From birtherism to election denial to Epstein, Trump weaponized paranoia, antisemitism, and grievance to gain and hold power, surrounding himself with figures who traffic in the same rot. Being “pro-Israel” doesn’t absolve him; it’s been a shield, not a principle. This episode breaks down how conspiracy culture went from internet nonsense to real-world danger, how it’s already gotten people killed, and why the same movement Trump created is now turning on him. Trump is the godfather of the conspiracy right — and the monster no longer needs its maker.On Substack: https://substack.com/@newsweekradioSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
