Episode 59 opens with a deep dive into the Democratic Party’s internal reckoning. As millions of mainstream voters drift away, the party’s fractured messaging and reliance on ideologically rigid language continue to push away the very base it needs to win. The widening gap between activist-driven rhetoric and the everyday concerns of working- and middle-class Americans reveals a movement struggling to unify its voice and reconnect with those it has lost. The hour concludes with Edward Segal, bestselling author of Crisis Ahead: 101 Ways to Prepare for and Bounce Back from Disasters, Scandals, and Other Emergencies—a practical guide to crisis management by a seasoned public relations expert.
