Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Senate candidate taking on the AI industry & billionaire corruption
Q: Why did you decide to run for US Senate?
Abdul explains his path from public health work—addressing lead exposure, voting access, and medical debt—to deciding to run, aiming to remove money from politics and deliver for Michigan through healthcare, education, housing, and infrastructure.
This Is How The States Can Save Us From Trump
Q: What actions can listeners take to advance these ideas locally?
Education and activation are crucial—listeners should organize, educate their neighbors, recruit volunteers, and pressure local politicians by engaging with their donors, attending meetings, and using targeted communication to demand accountability.
This Is How The States Can Save Us From Trump
Q: What historical precedents support this approach, and are there contemporary examples?
Historically, federalism has oscillated between stronger federal action and state-level resistance; contemporary examples include states pushing back during Biden administration policies and cannabis legalization as a case where states pursued policies despite federal stance.
This Is How The States Can Save Us From Trump
Q: Can you describe what soft succession is and how state power interacts with federal power?
Soft succession is the middle tier of a three-part model where states can create non-tax revenue streams and quietly push back against federal actions, effectively providing a counterbalance while staying within the union.
How To Stand Up Against Tyranny When No One Else Will with Miles Taylor
Q: How has the fear of repercussions shaped the actions of others within the administration and the broader political circle?
Many stayed silent due to fear of personal harm and, more critically, fear of losing their political tribe; this tribal fear can be even more powerful than immediate threats, which is why some choose to stay, while a few brave voices push back.
