New Polling Finds Public Turning On ICE, A Bad Inflation Report, Desperate Men Do Desperate Things

Morning everyone. A reminder that we’ve just released terrific conversations with Rep. Adam Smith, Ranking Member Of The House Armed Services Committee, and Stuart Stuart Stevens of Lincoln Square. Our good friend Anderson Clayton, Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party, joins us live today at 430pm EST, and Greg Sargent of The New Republic will join us live tomorrow at Noon EST to talk about Minnesota, ICE, and the emergence of a lawless Trump-Miller controlled paramilitary police force in America.

You can find links to our previous discussions here, and head here to get the links to join our two Clayton and Sargent discussions or any other upcoming event.

Desperate men do desperate things. The last rash of polls before the end of 2025, ones taken after the limited and incredibly destructive DOJ Epstein files release, found Trump’s job approval dropping again down. Some had him in the mid 30s (brutal), others came in at their lowest level of the year. We ended 2025 with the lowest consumer confidence rating in 65 years in the University of Michigan survey. As we saw in the jobs data on Friday tariffs and other reckless Trump policies have slowed the great American job machine. Inflation and interest rates are still too high. Democrats performed really well in elections of all kinds all across the country in 2025. Putin was refusing to take a reasonable deal and made it clear he wanted all of Ukraine. The Supreme Court told the National Guard to leave America’s cities. The WSJ’s lead story on New Year’s Day was a story detailing Trump’s declining health, raising “fitness to govern” issues. In the Wall Street Journal.

Something needed to be done. STRENGTH, POWER, MANLINESS NEEDED TO BE RESTORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
