Is Trump Crazy? Jack Smith Warns Democracy Is Failing, ICE Lawless

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW

In this episode, I’m talking about Crazy Donald Trump and a moment that feels unstable in ways we can no longer pretend are normal. From the movement of U.S. warships toward Iran to the language coming directly out of Trump’s mouth, the contradictions are piling up fast.

What he says publicly does not line up with the risks being created, and that gap is starting to matter in real time.

I connect Trump’s foreign posturing with what is happening inside the United States, where ICE is increasingly acting as if constitutional limits do not apply to them. While Trump lectures other countries about how they treat protesters, his own administration is carrying out aggressive raids and home entries that raise serious Fourth Amendment questions.

That hypocrisy is not abstract. It has consequences, and it changes how dangerous miscalculation becomes.

I also get into why Jack Smith’s warning to Congress should stop people cold. When a career prosecutor who led the January 6 investigation says democracy is in jeopardy, that is not politics or opinion.

It is a statement about what happens when elections are undermined, courts are attacked, and accountability is reframed as persecution. Systems like this do not collapse all at once. They weaken until they suddenly fail.

I close by confronting what it means when the government starts treating judges as optional and power as self authorizing. When ICE relies on internal paperwork instead of judicial warrants, it crosses a line that does not stay confined to one group of people.

This episode is about recognizing that moment while it is happening, not after the damage is already done.

I talked about the major financial upheaval that my girlfriend and I are going through.

If you can, and you would like to help…
