  • The Democratic Party Is Lost. A Former Presidential Campaign Manager Explains Why

    The Democratic Party Is Lost. A Former Presidential Campaign Manager Explains Why
    2026/05/08

    Why is the Democratic Party so lost right now, and is there actually a path forward?

    Former presidential campaign manager and Democratic strategist Maya Rupert joins Grant Hermes to break down the real state of the Democratic Party six months out from the 2026 midterms. We get into the DNC's 208-page playbook that says almost nothing about voters, why Chuck Schumer's days as leader are numbered, the devastating Louisiana v. Callais Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act, and why Maya believes the answer to all of it starts with one word: authenticity.

    Maya's new book, The Real Ones, digs into why authenticity in politics is a concept weaponized against candidates of color and women — and what it actually should mean for voters, candidates, and the media covering them.

  • The Iran Peace Deal Is Just Obama's Deal (But Worse?)

    The Iran Peace Deal Is Just Obama's Deal (But Worse?)
    2026/05/07

    The White House is claiming a peace deal with Iran is close, but
    The deal on the table looks almost identical to the Obama-era agreement
    Trump tore up in 2018. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio
    openly told the press that the administration doesn't feel bound by the
    War Powers Act, and one Republican congressman from Michigan is
    trying to force the issue with a new bill.

    We break down what's actually in the proposed Iran deal, why the
    legal authority for U.S. military operations is murky at best,
    and what new intelligence reports say about Iran's missile stockpiles
    and their ability to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed.

    Topics covered:
    - Iran peace talks and what's actually being offered
    - How the proposed deal compares to the 2018 Obama deal Trump scrapped
    - Rubio says the White House won't follow the War Powers Act
    - Rep. Tom Barrett's AUMF bill and what it means
    - Iran's missile stockpile is 70-75% intact, not 18% like Trump claimed
    - U.S. has burned through nearly half its critical missile stockpiles
    - Saudi Arabia suspended U.S. base access, here's why

    Is the Iran War Actually Over? The White House Can't Get Its Story Straight
    2026/05/05

    The president told Congress the Iran war was "terminated." The Secretary of Defense says there's still a ceasefire. Then Trump called it a "mini-war" on camera. So... which is it?

    Today, Grant breaks down the War Powers Act deadline that forced Trump's hand, the new "Project Freedom" operation in the Strait of Hormuz, why gas just hit $4.50/gallon nationally, and what the polls say about where Americans actually stand.
