About All 4 Us Movement Podcast

Mike Gross is running to represent Arizona’s 5th District because he’s tired of politicians who do what they’re told instead of doing what’s right. You deserve someone who represents you, works for you, and is accountable to you. Not someone who wants power and a political career. Too many politicians wait for permission, protect their careers, and tell voters their hands are tied. Mike doesn’t buy that. When there’s a problem, you either OWN IT or you’re part of it. If you are tired of a Congress paralyzed by chaos and inaction, Mike is here to do what he always has - to stand up for what’s right, roll up his sleeves, and take responsibility for fixing the problem. gross4az.substack.com (https://gross4az.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast)

   Mike Gross for Congress

   Remember a time when you were scammed or someone stole your loved one’s hard-earned money. How’d that make you feel? Stupid. Violated. Angry. Scared. Exposed. That’s exactly how we should all feel when politicians waste, abuse, or steal taxpayer money. Pissed. And demanding answers. But in Washington, nobody is accountable. Where’s the outrage? Where’s the resolve to defend the rule of law and the Constitution - and to root out blatant corruption and fraud in politics? I’ve been fighting to protect everyday Americans and businesses from financial fraud for almost 25 years. And we can apply the same principles to root out billons in fraud in Washington. Your tax dollars are not monopoly money. They’re groceries. Rent. Childcare. Healthcare premiums. Retirement. And I don’t care which party is abusing them. If someone breaks the rules, I go after them. But you can’t drain the swamp if you’re part of creating it. You want to drain the swamp? Don’t hire another mouthpiece shepherded in by the President and elite donors. Hire someone with the experience to call out and hold accountable those who break the rules, regardless of which side they’re on. That’s been my career. I already do this work - I’m just taking it to Washington. And if you think I’ll turn into them once I get there, then don’t vote for me. Fire me. These are my promises for accountability: * I’ll publish public scorecards. * I’ll explain bills and my votes in plain English – so there’s no question that I’m serving the will of the people in this district. * And I’ll livestream public, in-person monthly town halls where any member of the district can voice their concerns, share their stories, or ask for support. These won’t be staged applause traps with pre-screened attendees and softball questions. Some candidates need MAGA energy to survive. I’m building something different. A coalition of Republicans, Independents, and people who stopped voting because they’re tired of being lied to. If you want a loyalist to wait for permission and repeat party talking points, I’m not your guy. If the President is right, I’ll say it. If he’s wrong, I won’t cover for him. If you want someone who’ll take orders and vote as their told, then vote for someone else. But if you live in the East Valley and you’re sick of the political ass-kissing …Or you’re thinking to yourself, my life is harder now than it was a couple years ago … Or you want someone who will do what’s right, even if it’s hard … Then SIGN MY PETITION (https://go.azsos.gov/6bmy) and share it with a friend.And I’ll earn your vote before the primary election. Your voice matters. Your anger is justified. And it’s time we used it to fix what’s broken. Here’s a QR code to sign my petition or share with friends: This is a public episode.

   Epstein files bombshell: What it says about us

   The Epstein files will dominate headlines, fuel conspiracy theories, and drag more famous names through the mud. But let’s be honest - it probably won’t tell us anything we don’t already know about our leaders. It’ll just confirm it. The President told us everything we needed to know about his character over a decade ago. And he’s reinforced it time and time again. So why are we surprised this time? The Epstein files are just the latest example of our political rot Here’s the first truth: Every American deserves complete transparency from our government. Every victim deserves to be heard. And every pedophile, trafficker, and anyone complicit in their crimes should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. No spin, no mercy, no selective redactions. No excuses about “protecting reputations.” Trust only exists when truth does. And until our leaders stop treating truth like a political liability, we’ll keep living in a system that protects predators instead of everyday Americans. And the second truth? The real scandal here isn’t going to be the files. It’s us. Because at some point, this stopped shocking us. The notion that powerful men use their influence to abuse and exploit? To prey on innocent victims? We’ve basically come to expect it. Presidents, senators, billionaires, judges - we’ve watched them fall, then rise again. And somewhere along the line that became acceptable. That’s the crisis. The crimes themselves are horrendous and inexcusable. But our national shrug in response is equally detestable. We tell ourselves “it’s just politics” or “the other side is involved too,” as if moral bankruptcy is a prerequisite for power. We excuse lies as strategy, corruption as leadership, and cruelty as strength. And when the next scandal breaks, it dominates the headlines, we act outraged for a week, then move on to the next circus. What are we doing? At some point, we have to ask: Where do we go from here? Do we keep trudging along, pretending it’s normal that our so-called public servants behave like untouchable feudal lords? Do we keep letting money, power, and fame erase accountability? Or do we finally draw a line and say enough? This isn’t about partisanship. It’s about the character of those entrusted with our nation’s ultimate responsibilities. The highest office in the land should still mean something sacred - something aspirational. If we lose that, then we lose the compass that guides us. And that’s exactly what’s happened. We’ve let greed, power, and narcissism replace decency, humility, and moral courage. This nobody would ensure that we prosecute any individual responsible for crimes against humanity. Their actions are inexcusable. And it’s time we hold them ALL accountable. We can’t defend the indefensible When these files drop, expect outrage. Expect headlines. Expect politicians pretending to be disgusted when they’re really just calculating how to spin it. But when the smoke clears, the real question won’t be about Epstein or his enablers - it’ll be about us. Because what this truly exposes is the national rot we’ve come to tolerate. We’ve normalized corruption, fetishized celebrity, and confused wealth with worth. We shrug off the moral decay at the top because we’ve been taught to believe “that’s just politics.” But it’s not just politics. It’s our reflection in the mirror of power. How did this become ok? This Washington Post video clip from 2005 should tell us everything we need to know about President Trump’s character even after his Epstein fallout. (https://www.npr.org/2016/10/07/497087141/donald-trump-caught-on-tape-making-vulgar-remarks-about-women) The real bombshell in all this isn’t a list of names, 1000s of emails implicating the President’s egregious actions, or past leaders’ transgressions - it’s what those names say about who we are and what we’ve let happen to our democracy. If we keep electing people based on slogans instead of substance, donors instead of dignity, we’ll just keep getting the same predators with better PR teams. Trump is just the latest example in a long line of corruption. But it needs to end now. If we want a better America, we have to demand people with character in power. Leaders who see service as a duty, not a grift to make billions on the back of working Americans. Truth as a standard, not lies, deflection, and soundbites. And integrity as a requirement, not an option. We have to stop defending the indefensible. And that’s the only story worth breaking. This is a public episode.

   Standing on the edge of us

   I’m just a nobody. But I’ve seen enough to know we’re standing on the edge. America isn’t broken the way a window breaks. It’s broken the way human spirit breaks. Slowly. Quietly. Until one day, you realize the light’s gone out behind their eyes. We’ve all felt it. That quiet, suffocating heaviness. The slow collapse of a country that once promised more than merely survival. It’s not about politics anymore. It’s our collective exhaustion. A hard-working woman in Chicago keeps her thermostat at 55 degrees all winter. She wraps herself in blankets and calls it cozy. She doesn’t tell her kids the heat’s been shut off before. A man in Detroit stares at the empty space where his job used to be - an auto plant now running with robots and foreign contracts. He scrolls the classifieds every night. They all pay half what he used to earn. He feels useless but he smiles at his wife and assures her it’ll be fine. A veteran in DC wakes up at 3:00 AM again. Sweating. Heart beating out of his chest. Reaching for a gun that isn’t there. He can’t remember the dream, just the sound of someone screaming. But it might’ve been him. A grandmother in Phoenix spends her days watching the same loop of game shows. Her assisted living center is understaffed. The nurse doesn’t know her name, and the family she raised is too busy trying to stay afloat to visit. She holds a photo of her late husband and whispers to it because no one else listens. A mother in Atlanta fills the gas tank halfway. She fills her kid’s stomach halfway too. She’s learned the art of rationing hope. A farmer in Kansas stares at his dying crops. He used to know his neighbors, but they sold out years ago. Now it’s just him, his land, and the hum of corporate silos that own more of his town than anyone. A young man in Florida scrolls endlessly on his phone. He hasn’t spoken to another human being in two days. He’s got 3,000 followers, not one actual friend. He doesn’t remember what it feels like to be seen. A father in Pennsylvania buries his head in his hands at the kitchen table. His son overdosed last month. He tells people it was an accident, but he knows the truth. He doesn’t cry anymore. He just stares at the wall until the sun rises. A single woman in Nevada sits in her car outside the grocery store, counting crumpled dollars, deciding what’s worth more - food or gas to get to work. And a little boy in Texas falls asleep listening to his parents argue about money. He pretends to be asleep so they won’t see him cry. Life with silent judgment This is the America we’ve built. Not the one in commercials or campaign speeches. The one behind closed doors. The one we don’t talk about. A country where people are alive, but not living. Where the middle class became the working poor and the working poor became invisible. Where we stopped talking to each other because we’re too busy trying not to drown. And somewhere along the way, empathy became weakness. We call people “lazy” when they collapse from exhaustion.We call them “entitled” when they ask for help.We call them “crazy” when the noise gets too loud in their heads. But if you scratch away the labels, you’ll find the same story underneath every one of us.We’re scared. We’re tired. We’re running out of rope. This is what happens when greed and grift become the national religion. When billionaires buy our leaders. When the news sells outrage for profit. When truth is optional, and humanity is an afterthought. We’ve built an empire of loneliness, with towers of glass and steel that reach for the sky while the people who built them sleep on the streets below. We’ve traded compassion for convenience, justice for profit, and faith for followers. We used to be a country that pulled over to help.Now we film the wreckage and scroll on. Let’s be honest. We’re not OK. We are a nation holding its breath. A collective inhale, waiting to see if anyone still cares enough to breathe out. Because here’s the truth no politician wants to say: We’re not fine.We’re not thriving.We’re teetering. And what happens next, what we choose to do now, decides who we become. We either decide that our neighbors are worth saving, or we let this quiet collapse finish what it started. If you’ve ever felt invisible, unheard, unseen - you’re not alone.If you’ve ever stared into the dark and wondered if tomorrow was worth it - you’re not broken.If you’ve ever felt like this country forgot you - you’re right.It did. But forgetting doesn’t have to be forever. We can still remember what it means to be human.We can still choose to care.We can still decide that no American - not the mother skipping dinner, not the veteran screaming in the dark, not the lonely kid staring at a glowing screen - should be left to carry their weight alone. Because this isn’t about saving a nation. It’s about saving us. The people. The pulse. The last fragile thread holding this country together. And maybe that’s still enough. We are standing on the edge of us.One step forward, we rise.One step back, we disappear. The decision is ours. But time is running out. Subscribe for free to receive new posts!

   The America I live in...cares, fights, hopes, loves, serves.

   We live in a different reality than our leaders I don’t live behind iron gates or inside marble walls. I don’t spend my nights mingling with billionaires and lobbyists. I spend my days listening to people who are tired. Tired of the noise, tired of the lies, tired of being invisible to the people who were elected to serve them. Meanwhile, the President is living in another reality. In his recent 60 Minutes interview, these were his own words: He says “the country’s in great shape, we’re ready to rock,” even though the government is shutdown and no one can agree on anything. He says he’s “solved inflation,” even as Americans see prices climbing every month. He says he “has a plan to fix healthcare,” even though his only plan has been to dismantle the program that millions rely on, especially those with pre-existing conditions. He says he’s “ended almost every war,” except the one he said he’d end on day one in office. He says ICE “hasn’t gone far enough” in its violent approach to rooting out criminals, even though the reality is that nearly every detainee’s only crime was entering the country without following the rules. And he “can’t even remember” which crypto billionaire he pardoned recently - but somehow he remembers to reward his donors while cutting programs that feed working families. Sure, he’s in total control. That’s not leadership. That’s a President who’s completely out of touch. The America I live in is struggling Ask a single mom choosing between rent and groceries if inflation’s been “solved.”Ask a family that can’t pay next year’s healthcare premiums if the system’s “an easy fix.”Ask a farmer crushed by tariffs and debt how “strong” the economy feels.Ask a teacher working two jobs to afford childcare if this is “the hottest America has ever been.” The President and our leaders are living in a gold-plated fantasy, surrounded by yes-men and billionaires who sip champagne while the rest of the country quietly struggles to survive. We deserve a leader who takes responsibility. Not blaming every failure on his predecessors while embracing every victory as his alone. So much for rising together. * The America I live in … isn’t partying at Mar-a-Lago. It’s driving trucks, waiting tables, teaching kids, planting crops, saving lives, fixing engines, and working overtime to stay afloat. * The America I live in … is hurting. Its people are divided, burnt out, frustrated, and scared that they won’t be able to pay their bills. * The America I live in … is made of people who’ve stopped expecting government to help. Because it hasn’t in a long time. Let’s hit the reset button America needs a reset from the inside out. It may take a few years but that’s why we can’t afford to wait to start changing the world. I’m not here to protect the 1%. I’m here to lift the 99%. Every single “nobody” who keeps this country running while being told they don’t matter. I don’t have a golden ballroom. I don’t have a billionaire’s checkbook. But what I do have is a heart and passion for this country, a head full of ideas, and a plan that can work for everyone. Here’s what THAT future looks like: We make healthcare universal, because no one should go bankrupt for getting sick.We reform taxes, because billionaires shouldn’t pay less than bus drivers.We launch the Innovation Corps, creating millions of jobs with purpose, rebuilding and advancing the country just like our farmers would - hands-on and with pure American spirit and ingenuity. We cure disease, advance tech, and modernize infrastructure.We guarantee education that prepares kids for the world ahead - not reliving the past.We create housing that’s affordable, energy that’s clean and reliable, and communities where families don’t just survive - they thrive. That’s the future I stand for. Not promises for the privileged. Promises for us. And here’s my commitment to you: You’ll get transparency - not half-truths, made-up numbers, and mind games.You’ll get a leader who listens - not someone obsessed with being the smartest person in the room.You’ll get ideas that unite us - not slogans that divide us.You’ll get someone who learns, grows, and leads WITH the American people, not talking down to them. I want you engaged. I want you asking questions. I want you demanding results. Because that’s how democracy is supposed to work - not as a show, but as a shared project. If you hate an idea, tell me - respectfully. Share your experience and why it’s so important to you. If you want to make something better, share your feedback. If you love a plan, share it so others can get behind it. When I said these are “Promises for Us,” I meant it. These aren’t political fights. They’re human. They’re about lifting up those in need. They’re about ending the unfair advantages for the rich keeping everyone else buried in the sand. They’re about making sure everyone has a fighting chance in a system intentionally working against them. 2028 belongs to the nobodies The next American leader should belong to all of us. Not from Trump’s MAGA bench. That’s just more of the same chaos, division, and empty promises. They’ll continue to sell outrage, but never deliver outcomes. And we deserve better than a copy of a show that’s already failed us. I intend to be that leader we didn’t know we needed - so it’s time you got to know this nobody. I work hard, speak my mind, and won’t stop fighting for what’s right for America, our communities, and for all of us - just like all of you. Expect more. Demand results. Ask tough questions. This nobody is counting on it. This is a public episode.

   Reality check, America

   I’m just a nobody. But ask me what I stand for, and it will always start with us - the builders, the doers, the dreamers. The everyday Americans who still believe this country can be better than the headlines say it is. And as we prepare for another round of major government shutdown impacts, with SNAP benefits expiring on Saturday, I want to be clear. I don’t care if you’re allied with MAGA or Democrats. 40 million+ (mostly kids and elderly) of your fellow Americans will lose access to food in a couple days. That includes families who’ve lost their jobs, got furloughed, or don’t have savings. That includes veterans and college grads who can’t find work due to AI and automation taking entry-level jobs.And that includes seniors choosing medicine over meals. In a couple months, there’s another cliff. Healthcare subsidies expire and millions more will have to go without insurance because they can’t afford the premiums. They’ll have to live in fear of an emergency that leads to a lifetime of debt because they can’t afford basic healthcare coverage for their families. What the hell, America? The silence of our leaders is deafening I said it before and I mean it. Wake up! The real crisis in America is not what one side is or isn’t doing. It’s the loss of our humanity. We’re really going to let families go hungry? We’re really going to destroy the lives of millions so the billionaires get an even larger tax cut. That. Is. Insane. This is NOT who we are or who we need to be. I don’t represent the rich, the loudest, or the most powerful. I represent the rest of us - the millions of nobodies who step up for people in need. Those who selflessly serve our communities. And all the nobodies who keep this country moving and deserve a government that actually works for them. Not this inhumanity. Not chaotic change. Not empty promises. My life obviously doesn’t revolve around Washington. I grew up in Kansas, where you learn early that if a fence is broken, you fix it. You make it better, stronger. You don’t argue about whose fault it is while the cattle wander off. You roll up your sleeves, you work together, and you GET IT DONE. That’s the spirit we’ve lost - and the one I’m bringing back. Our leaders need to get it done…now. A country intentionally divided by culture wars We’ve been told to see each other as enemies. Left against right. Red states vs. blue states. Haves vs. have nots. Neighbors shouting. Families and friends sit in silence. Intentionally wedged apart so we can never find common ground - so a shared purpose doesn’t rise up and demand better. That’s not leadership. But here’s a secret the billionaires and party bosses don’t want you to know: we’re on the same team. The farmer in Kansas and the nurse in Boston. The teacher in Atlanta and the truck driver in Texas. The single mom, the immigrant, the veteran, the student. Different stories. Same dream. Today’s leaders shout insults. Tomorrow’s will deliver on their promises. Real leadership is humble. It listens. It has empathy and grace. It stands up for what’s right. And it believes the people beside you can rise if you believe in them first. That’s how we’ll rebuild this country, the way the best teams win: by trusting one another, by working for something bigger than ourselves, by remembering that kindness and compassion aren’t weakness. We can disagree fiercely and still move forward together.We can demand accountability and still lead with grace.We can rebuild this country one act of decency at a time - and still swing for the fences when it counts. But we can’t afford to wait. Millions of lives are literally at stake. We need solutions. We need action. And we need to get to work…now. Demand answers. Then more. The nation should serve its people. Right now, we must demand an immediate end to the shutdown and funding of these critical SNAP and healthcare lifelines. Then start demanding action, real long-term change. Not slow bureaucracy. Healthcare for all. Women’s rights. Minority rights. Immigrants’ rights. The same opportunities our ancestors had to build the American dream. Fair wages and service work with a purpose. Mental health resources. Affordable housing. Education that unlocks potential. Clean, safe, affordable energy. Truth and justice for all. These are not pie in the sky. They’re all possible. All achievable. All inevitable for a people that live up to their definition of what it means to be Americans. Remember that. Then demand accountability from all branches of the government. This isn’t a game. No more get out of jail free cards. No one is above the law, including the President, Congress, and Courts. Our demands are constant because we never stop believing that we can provide for our families, protect the needy, and serve our communities. That’s the great promise of this nation. So join this nobody, and bring a little stubborn hope. The kind that doesn’t quit when things get hard. The kind that refuses to accept that divided is our permanent state. Because deep down, we still know how to come together. We’ve done it before. I’m for you.I’m for us.And together, we’ll prove that a bunch of nobodies with a plan, a big heart, and a whole lot of belief can change everything. This is a public episode.

   Where is my Congressman?

   Hey America. Mike Gross here. Your Nobody-for-Prez option for 2028. You know, the “voice for all of us” candidate who still believes public service should mean actually serving the public. Today, we’re here at home. Arizona’s Fightin’ Fifth. My district. Now, maybe you’ve heard of my Congressman, Andy Biggs. One of the six who asked Trump for a pardon after January 6th. No? Maybe you remember him as the guy who won $10 million bucks from Publisher’s Clearinghouse back in ’93. Yeah, that’s right, the man literally hit the lottery and decided Congress was his next jackpot. Anyway, I’ve been trying to find this guy. Check on him. Ask what he’s doing for our district - for the people actually paying the bills, feeling the pain, and struggling through this shutdown. He’s not in DC. Only been there 20 days in 4 months. Nice gig if you can get it. He’s not in Gilbert. Not Mesa. Not Apache Junction. Not Chandler. Not Queen Creek where I live. He is, however, very active on Facebook. Lots of posting. But not much governing. “Mean Girls” level drama. So I’m out here asking around… Hey Sebastian, have you seen my Congressman? Gentlemen, it’s time to get YOUR heads out of MY ass - and start working for us. Stop posting. Start governing.Stop protecting power. Start protecting people. Because if you don’t…This Nobody will.

   Wake up, America!

   The great American awakening: What happens when we stop seeing the truth The 99% has become a silent surrender America is drifting toward a quiet collapse. Not the cinematic version with riots and rubble, but something slower, emptier, and crueler. It’s a collapse of fairness. A collapse of connection. A collapse born from apathy - from a nation too distracted or too divided to see what’s really happening right in front of it. Drive through rural America. The skies are still wide, the towns still familiar. But look closer. The farms are consolidating into massive corporate operations, not family hands. Local banks have become branches of megabanks that know nothing about the people or the community. Hardware stores, feed shops, diners, all shuttered or replaced by chains owned from afar. Kids leave town because there’s no future in staying, and the parents pray that their small towns don’t die with them. Now drive into the cities. The skyline sparkles, a false promise of prosperity. Beneath the glass towers, teachers, nurses, delivery drivers, and young families scrape by in a housing market that sees them as prey. Rents have tripled. Hedge funds scoop up starter homes before families even get a showing. In Dallas, in Phoenix, in Miami, once-thriving neighborhoods are hollowed out by investors who never live there, just extract profit. Two Americas. Both struggling. One rural, one urban. Both victims of the same disease: an economy that rewards speculation and punishes hard work. The path of apathy So how did we get here? Because the 99% stopped watching. We tuned out while the powerful rewrote the rules. We let billionaires tell us that government was the problem - and then watched as they bought the government piece-by-piece. They cut their own taxes, stashed their profits offshore, lobbied for subsidies, and called it success. They sold the dream that “you can strike it rich like us,” while quietly closing the doors behind them. And we believed them. We saw their rockets, their yachts, their philanthropy, and mistook it for patriotism. We forgot that their fortunes were built not only on risk and innovation but on a system designed to protect them from accountability. They didn’t stay rich by paying their fair share. They stayed rich by shifting the burden to the rest of us. To the teacher in Kansas who pays higher tax rates than global corporations. To the small-town mechanic who can’t afford healthcare while CEOs take home multi-million-dollar bonuses. To the nurses in New York who pay more in payroll tax than billionaires do in capital gains. And we let it happen - not out of malice, but distraction. Because life got harder. And when life gets hard, it’s easier to believe simple stories. That crime is exploding everywhere.That immigrants are the problem. That billionaires are heroes. That fairness is socialism. That corruption is just “how the world works.” That’s just not true. Simple stories are NOT solutions. Crime IS a problem worth tackling. We NEED secure borders. And capitalism and democracy are a POWERFUL 1-2 punch for success and the American dream. But they can’t be solved with lies and deflecting responsibility. This is exactly how apathy grows. Not in bad people, but in good people too exhausted to solve what feels like everyone else’s problems. A glimpse into that future If we keep going this way, the America of 2040 will be unrecognizable. Rural America will become an economic desert - vast fields owned by foreign investors, with fewer farmers, fewer schools, and smaller hospitals. Automation will harvest crops, but communities will be abandoned. Urban America will be its opposite and its twin - overcrowded, overpriced, unequal. The wealthy will live in high-rise fortresses with private security and rooftop gardens while millions below them navigate a permanent crisis of rent, debt, and despair. Public infrastructure nationwide will crumble as corporate taxes are cut to the bone. Teachers will still buy their own supplies. Seniors will still choose between medicine and food. Families will still need two jobs to afford one life. And the 1% will call it progress. They’ll build new luxury towers, launch new vanity projects, and tell the rest of us we should work harder, all while lobbying Congress to ensure the system never changes. This is the America that indifference, distraction, and silence creates. Not with a big boom, but with quiet decay. We need a loud awakening But we can still wake up. And that’s what my Promises for Us stand for, an awakening. A rejection of the myth that wealth equals virtue, or that billionaires will somehow save us. Because they won’t. They can’t. Their entire worldview is built on accumulation, not compassion. The Fair Tax & Opportunity Act won’t be about punishing success – it will be about restoring responsibility. It says, if you succeed beyond imagination, you also inherit a duty. To the country that made your success possible. To the people who built the roads, taught your workers, and defended your freedom. Under this blueprint, we remove the golden shields that protect the wealthy from paying their fair share: * Higher taxes on extreme wealth, over $50 million * Increased capital gains taxes for short-term speculation * Elimination of corporate subsidies for profitable companies and those buying back shares * Enforcement of crypto profit taxes so digital wealth doesn’t escape real accountability * Government equity stakes in any company that requires a public bailout Those policies won’t destroy capitalism. They’ll redeem it. And the trillions in fair revenue they create will directly fund Healthcare for All, the Innovation Corps, and job programs that lift every region of this country, from Iowa farms to Detroit factories to New York startups. The renewal - a nation of shared prosperity Let’s picture that alternative funded by human progress. Rural America thriving again from investment, not charity. High-speed internet accessible everywhere. Innovation hubs in old manufacturing corridors. Family farms restored through clean-energy partnerships and tax breaks that reward local hiring, not stock buybacks. Cities where teachers, nurses, and first responders can afford homes again. Where small businesses are rebuilt on main street, not swallowed by monopolies. Where communities rebuild wealth through ownership, not crippling debt. Imagine healthcare workers in the new Medical Innovation Corps researching cures in facilities built in towns once forgotten. Imagine a nurse in Kentucky earning a strong wage, supported by public programs funded through fair taxes. Not scraps from the billionaires’ table. That’s what renewal looks like. When the 99% prosper, the whole nation rises. We all live in a country worth saving. Finding the spirit of our nation again This future doesn’t just fix the economy. It restores something spiritual. The weight of hopelessness…gone. Parents can breathe again knowing their kids will inherit opportunity, not chaos. Communities that once felt abandoned rediscover pride and purpose. We breed resilience. Not resentment. We stop seeing each other as enemies divided by class, race, or region, and start seeing ourselves as co-owners, authors of a shared dream. That’s what the Promises for Us are all about. We can rebuild a country that’s been quietly breaking for decades. A call to action for the 99% To the farmer in Kansas who’s tired of being ignored.To the teacher in Texas who’s tired of paying more tax than billionaires.To the nurse in New York who can’t afford her own healthcare.To the small business owner in Ohio who wants to believe in the American Dream again. This is your wake-up call. The 1% aren’t your heroes. They’re not your guardians. They’re not building your future. But we can. Together, we can rewrite the rules. Not out of envy, but out of love for this country and the people who built it. Because America doesn’t need billionaires to save it. It needs us to save each other. And that begins when we start paying attention and do something about it. My Promises for Us are all about action. Start by sharing. Tell your story. Bring along a friend. Help raise all of those nobody voices until we all wake up. Until we start doing the work - together. This is a public episode.

    When health becomes a luxury

    We have a choice between greed and grace Picture it: America in the year 2040. The skyline still glows, but the people beneath it are dimming. Neon hospital towers shimmer above cities like fortresses, their mirrored glass reflecting the lives they no longer touch. Inside, the wealthy glide through sterilized halls, scanning their retinas for entry into rooms humming with robotic surgeons, gene editors, and miracle cures. Outside, the rest of America watches from the dark. Coughing, waiting, praying for a system that no longer sees them. In this near-future, ambulances no longer scream for everyone. They arrive only in wealthy zip codes and where insurance policies can afford the fuel. Emergency rooms are subscription-only. Children’s inhalers cost more than their parents’ monthly rent. People line up at pharmacies that sell hope in installments, where platinum-tier customers skip the line and basic care means an aspirin and a prayer. The poor die quietly now - in the streets, in crowded apartments, in rural homes without clinics for hundreds of miles. Middle-class families drain their savings accounts and their dignity trying to survive a system that treats illness like debt collectors. Mothers pray their kids don’t get sick because the co-pay alone could cost their home. Seniors trade their prescriptions for groceries. Greed masquerading as political righteousness This is what happens when greed becomes policy. When corporations turn medicine into markets. When Congress dismantles subsidies and calls it efficiency. When preventive care is slashed under the banner of personal responsibility. When the insurance industry writes the laws, and politicians call it freedom of choice. We got here by “cutting waste,” which turned out to be human beings. We got here when leaders said universal healthcare was too expensive while approving trillion-dollar tax breaks for billionaires. We got here when we decided that health was not a right, but a privilege earned by the wealthy. It’s a nation that looks functional on paper, but it’s a slow-motion collapse of compassion. A society where We the People has beeen replaced by the rich and powerful…who make decisions that directly harm the very constituents they pretend to represent. But that’s only our destiny if we allow it. We can and must choose a better path. The other America - The one we can still build Now imagine the alternative, the one still open to us, but fleeting with every human program cut. In this America, no one chooses between their health and their home. Every child, every worker, every senior, every veteran gets the care they need simply because they exist, not just what they can afford. Hospitals are not symbols of status. They’re centers of healing and hope. Community clinics rise where factories or offices once closed, employing local nurses, researchers, and technicians in good-paying jobs that rebuild both lives and towns. Rural areas that Washington forgot are alive again, powered by technology revolution and staffed by the next generation of doctors trained through the Medical Innovation Corps, a national service that unites purpose with progress. Imagine a future where your zip code no longer determines your life expectancy. Where medical breakthroughs are made in America, by Americans, for all Americans. That’s the healthcare vision behind Promises for Us 2028 - a covenant that treats healthcare as a human right and medical advances as a patriotic duty. Big, bold change only happens if we demand it This All For Us movement was never about cynicism. It’s about clarity. It’s about breaking from the illusion that the system can’t be changed. It can. It must. Because the cost of doing nothing is measured in human lives. Under this vision, every dollar spent on healthcare becomes an investment in you, your family, your community, our nation. Investments in researchers discovering new cures, in universities driving technological advances, in construction crews building clinics, in engineers developing low-cost medical devices, and in caregivers earning fair wages and respect. This is the America where compassion and common sense merge. Where government guarantees care and unleashes the creativity of a nation determined to heal itself. The path back to humanity When healthcare becomes universal, something deeper happens. We rediscover empathy. Stress and fear evaporates from our lives. A parent no longer worries if a fever will bankrupt them. A teacher no longer hides her migraines because she can’t afford a scan. A young family no longer sees pregnancy as a financial risk. Seniors no longer ration meds to survive the month. That kind of piece of mind changes a nation. It gives people room to breathe again, to dream again, to build again, to believe again. Because health isn’t just the absence of disease. It’s the presence of hope. Imagine children growing up in a country where medical care is a promise, not a privilege for the rich. Where they see scientists as heroes. Where curing illness replaces hoarding wealth as the highest form of achievement. Imagine a generation raised on possibility, not just survival. What it will mean for our kids - and their kids If we choose this path, our children won’t remember a world where health was rationed - where the 99% were disregarded to protect the powerful. They’ll live in one where service is celebrated, where their neighbors are researchers, nurses, caregivers, innovators - members of a great national effort to lift each other up. The Innovation Corps will stand as a living symbol of that commitment - a new kind of American dream where purpose replaces profit as our measure of success. Every community will have a role in it: building, discovering, teaching, healing. And future generations will look back on this moment, this crossroads between greed and grace, and wonder how we ever hesitated. This has everything to do with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And the decision is ours to choose compassion over cruelty. The life-or-death choice before us The choice is as clear as it is urgent. We can remain on the path we’re on, or we can build the future we were promised. A future where healthcare is a covenant, not for sale. We can let our children inherit a country where the sick are punished for being poor - or one where the healthy lift the nation forward together. We can continue pretending that healthcare for all is impossible. Or we can prove that the richest, most innovative country in the history of the world can, at last, take care of its own. This isn’t a fantasy. It’s a fork in the road. And the direction we take will define not just our economy, but our American humanity. The path of greed leads to silence, to a nation where ambulances don’t answer the call and futures fade in waiting rooms no one can afford to enter. The path of compassion leads to something greater. An America that heals itself, that listens again, that believes again. We stand at the edge of both worlds. And the next step is ours. Don’t just fight over subsidies. Demand Healthcare for all. It’s the first, most important, and most impactful Promise for Us, and it unites all of us - for each other. This is a public episode.

    Bridging the great divide

    There’s a big disconnect between all of us and Washington. Most Americans actually agree on the same set of problems. But they don’t sound like the problems you hear from politicians. It’s not about tariffs and inflation, border security and threats against democracy. Families don’t struggle over the national debt or millions of people losing health coverage. We struggle with the real, raw, personal impacts we feel every day due to leadership’s failed policies and inaction. Here’s the harsh reality of the very personal effects of a government that hasn’t worked for the 99% for a long time. We have hundreds of shared problems - and most have some simple solutions once we have the will to solve them. Real problems for all of us - the promises we need to keep Read them all. Feel them all. Are any of these your story? How about your neighbor? How about that person you saw in a video? It’s time “We the People” stood up for human decency. For a better life for all. For a more peaceful world for all. It’s time we kept our promises to all of our fellow Americans just trying to get by and build a future for our communities. These are the problems of the 99%: I want to be able to go to the doctor without fearing that I can’t pay the bill. I want to buy healthier food for my family but I can’t afford fruits and vegetables. I want my kids to get the best possible education so they can find their passion. I want to buy a home but can’t even afford rent in a safe neighborhood. I want to provide my aging parents with the best possible senior care, not for them to be locked away and forgotten. I want to protect my kids from gun violence but my state has loose gun laws that make it easy for someone with mental illness to access deadly weapons. I want a job with a purpose, not just a paycheck, but I don’t have a college degree. I want peace, security, and human rights for everyone around the world but struggle to even fight for my own survival in the richest country in the world. I want to be able to save for the future but I’m drowning in debt. I want women to have full autonomy over decisions affecting their bodies, but the 1% of men insist that they own that decision. I want affordable transportation to get to work but I’m stuck riding the bus because I can’t afford insurance and gas. I want mental health support, healthcare, and housing for veterans so we don’t lose another single vet to suicide. I want news that I can trust so I can get the facts, not endless biased streams of hate. I want safe, reliable, clean energy that I can afford - not watching my electric bill spike because Google opened a new datacenter. I want to explore the natural beauty of America but I have a disability and the parks are too crowded. I want my immigrant family neighbors and friends to have the same shot at the American dream as my family did generations before me. Their families shouldn’t be traumatized and used as political pawns for the rich and powerful. I want safe, accessible, affordable vaccines to protect my kids but I get mixed messages from experts. I want my kids to stand up for what they believe in but I don’t know how - I’ve been the victim of bullies my whole life. I want a compassionate justice system that doesn’t create a lifetime of retribution for those at the bottom while allowing those at the top to buy their way out of trouble. I want candidates for office who represent my voice and have my life experiences, not an inherited fortune from Wall Street. Know anyone with one of these challenges? Millions of “nobodies” can stand up and tell their stories…and demand solutions to these problems. Our contrast to the 1% has never been more clear The 1% doesn’t feel any of these. They don’t feel your struggles. In fact, they see them as a list of excuses. And they use your pain to gain even more power, control, influence, and wealth. When you have everything else, it’s an addiction to take even more. The President and many political leaders don’t care about these things because they’ve never had to trade an emergency room visit for college... Never felt the heartbreak of working two jobs and still not being able to afford healthy food for your kids… Never had to sell part of the family farm to pay taxes. Those aren’t problems for the 1%. Their problems are not OUR problems. The 1% want to play God. The 1% has completely lost touch with reality These are the problems of the 1%, the real swamp: They want to be the center of attention. They want to matter. Look at them. Listen to them. Follow them. They would never lie to you. They want the world to praise them. They want to win the Nobel Peace Prize because they’re the greatest President in history. They are the best. They want to be the smartest person in the room. They were the first one who thought of everything. Everyone else is dumb. They want every decision to run through them. This election was a mandate. All of their decisions are the right decisions. They don’t make mistakes. They want to be the wealthiest person ever. They want the markets to serve their interests. Their life revolves around gold and they’ll be the richest person in the history of the world. They want to rid the US of immigrants. Anyone who’s not like them is a threat. And they want you to believe they’re a threat to you too. Immigrants are trying to take away all that they’ve earned. All that they’ve built. They want to choose who gets prosecuted and who gets mercy. They are the judge, jury, and executioner. And you can trust them because they’ve been subjected to witchhunt after witchhunt. They know who all the witches are. Sound familiar? It’s laughable when you contrast the daily struggles of the 99% vs. the simple-minded, narcissistic, disconnected, alternative reality of the 1%. Our President is unfortunately all of these. We are better. We are FOR America. I’ve never believed that America is broken - only that it’s been ignored. Ignored by a political class that stopped listening. Ignored by a system that protects itself instead of the people it serves. Ignored by leaders who mistake division for leadership and outrage for courage. But America isn’t broken. It’s waiting. Waiting for us to remember what it’s capable of. Waiting for a generation of builders, believers, and dreamers to look past the noise and say, “Enough. Let’s fix this. Together.” That’s what this movement is all about. These are the Promises For Us, for all of us who still believe in the idea of a new, better, stronger America. Not for a party, not for a class, not for the powerful few. A vision of hope, with a plan of action Hope alone doesn’t build bridges or balance budgets. It doesn’t lower prescription drug costs or create living wage jobs. But without hope, nothing gets built at all. That’s why this movement isn’t just about feeling inspired. It’s about what comes next. It’s about action. It’s about taking the ideals that have always defined this country - freedom, fairness, hard work, and human decency - and turning them into a living, breathing agenda for the future. Promises for Us is built on that belief that we can solve the biggest problems facing our people and our communities through ingenuity. Through building. Through a bold purpose. And here’s the truth - it’s going to take work. Big, messy, imperfect, relentless work. Because the future doesn’t belong to the loudest voices. It belongs to those who roll up their sleeves and get to work fixing what’s right in front of them - and doing it together. Let’s get started. This is a public episode.

    Politics didn’t break us, silence did

    Politics didn't break us, silence did. Healing the family divide takes grace...and taking one small step Somewhere between the shouting and the scrolling, we lost each other. Mothers and daughters. Fathers and sons. Parents who haven’t heard from their kids in years. Grandparents who’ve never seen their grandbabies. Best friends. Neighbors. Entire families and communities now splintered by politics and pain. People who once shared a loving home, celebrated magical holiday memories, laughed together, taught you to ride a bike, helped pay for college - your rock in the darkest times. Only now, all we share are memes meant to divide and defend our side - to prove that we’re right. And eventually we just stopped trying. Tens of millions aren’t just avoiding tough conversations anymore. They’ve stopped having any conversations at all. That isn’t just political division. It’s heartbreak. You can feel it, can’t you? That deafening silence and agonizing ache when the phone doesn’t ring. When holidays get divided on party lines. When you think about someone you love, and realize you haven’t spoken in years because the world convinced you they were your enemy. The truth is, both sides are hurting. Both believe they’re standing for what’s right. And both are convinced the other side has been brainwashed by lies. We’ve traded family for ideology, warmth for certainty, and compassion for pride. And it’s breaking us. When everyone’s shouting, no one’s really listening. We’ve let algorithms decide who deserves our compassion - and worse, who doesn’t. It’s time to remember something simple and radical: we are stronger than politics. Love is stronger than the fear and hate used to divide us. It doesn’t have to be this way. We’re not enemies. We’re family. So let’s act like it. Let me be clear. Listening doesn’t mean you have to agree. It means respecting that every story has context - and every belief is grounded in someone’s truth. You don’t have to surrender your principles to care about someone who sees the world differently. You just have to care enough to stay in the room. Start small. Pick up the phone. Send a text. Call. It starts with one act of courage - not shouting, not owning anyone - just reaching out. Calling your sister. Visiting your dad. Saying, “I miss you.” Even when it hurts. Especially when it hurts. Because that’s how love wins - through presence. Ask about their life, not their vote. You won’t solve the country’s divisions overnight, but you might just find a real place where healing can begin…in living rooms across America where people choose connection over being right. That isn’t weakness. It’s courage. The kind that builds bridges instead of burning them down. The kind that says, I still see you, even through all this noise. We can’t rebuild a nation if we can’t take the first step, if we can’t sit across from one another. The world doesn’t change when someone wins an argument. It changes when someone cares enough and listens long enough to remember what matters most: the people who shaped us, stood by us, and still belong to us, no matter how far apart we’ve drifted. The great American reunion So, here’s a challenge. Turn off the feeds for a day. Step away from the outrage machine. Sit down with someone who matters to you and look them in the eyes again. Say “I want us back.” Then talk - about anything. Not to convince, but to connect. Let grace fill the space where judgment used to live. Because Lord knows, America doesn’t need more walls. It needs more love, more connection, more conversations, more understanding. More kitchen tables. It’s time to bring our families, our friendships, and our country back together - one conversation, one act of love, one brave moment of listening at a time. Love each other again.Hear each other again.Heal each other again. Because America isn’t dying from disagreement. It’s starving for grace. And grace begins right here, right now. With all of us.

    For Washington, pawns. For me, family.

    I grew up in the heartland. Where you learn early that your livelihood depends on the weather, the soil, handshakes, and a buyer who keeps his word. My family and our community has lived through a lot - the anxiety of watching clouds roll past when you need rain, the fear of losing a season’s worth of work because animals get sick, a buyer backs out, or a market collapses. You don’t have time for Washington’s “BS” or excuses. But that’s exactly what this is - another round of Washington’s excuses. You’ve been used as pawns in a political game. Promised the world. Fed empty slogans. And then abandoned when it mattered most. Tariffs have decimated the heartland The President stood on stages in Iowa and said, “Our farmers are patriots. You’re winning again. I alone can fix it.” But fixing it meant tariffs that killed demand for your crops and skyrocketed prices of everything from combines to diesel. It meant handing sweetheart deals to commercial farming operations and foreign suppliers while small-town families lost their land. So how exactly is that making America great for farmers? He called it a trade war. But it’s not a war when only one side is bleeding. We were promised that tariffs would make America prosperous - give us leverage. Instead, they shut doors overseas. They drove prices down, dried up export markets, and left bins full of unsold grain from Kansas to Indiana. The family farm was collateral damage - and Washington didn’t blink. And now the same administration that promised a golden age for agriculture is quietly watching as family farms go bankrupt at the fastest rate in a decade. They’ll call it market correction. And make it easy for Vice President Vance to rush in with his AcreTrader (https://acretrader.com/) venture investment to scoop up farmland from families on the brink of bankruptcy. I call that betrayal. Because you don’t tell a farmer to hang in there when his livelihood is collapsing under your policies. You don’t preach America First while cutting deals that hand Argentina your export markets. You don’t give billions in bailouts to corporate agribusiness while the independent farmer has to sell land just to stay afloat. This isn’t just about bad economics. It’s about broken trust. You were told Washington had your back - but all they did was put a target on it. They used your hard work as a campaign prop, your struggle as a talking point, and your loyalty as a political asset. But I’m not here to talk at you. I’m here to work with you. Because for me, this is personal. Farmers always find a way to rise up I know the heartbreak of watching neighbors lose the land their great-grandparents broke their backs to cultivate. I know the pride of a harvest done right - AND the pain of a market that doesn’t care how hard you worked. I also know that the future of our family farms doesn’t have to be a eulogy. It can be a rebirth. Imagine a future where farmers aren’t just surviving - they’re leading the next ag revolution sparked by American ingenuity. Where we invest in new, hardier crops that resist drought and disease. Where innovation in the land, tools, and tech make small farms more profitable, not obsolete. Where drones and technology complement generations of human expertise. Imagine partnerships (not handouts) that open global markets hungry for what America grows best. Over 9 billion mouths to feed worldwide, and we could be the engine that feeds them…sustainably, proudly, profitably. We can expand high-speed Internet access so the next generation of farmers aren’t left behind. We can invest in farm-to-market infrastructure that keeps costs down and speeds up supply. We can give small producers the tools to compete globally - not by bowing to foreign giants, but by standing shoulder-to-shoulder as American innovators. But that takes leadership and honesty. And here’s the truth: Washington isn’t coming to save you. But we can save ourselves. That’s what this “All 4 Us” movement is about. It’s not about red or blue. It’s about you. Millions of nobodies putting the power back where it belongs - in the hands of those who feed America. Not the ones who exploit it. You deserve more than slogans and sympathy. You deserve solutions. Fair trade that rewards effort, not exploitation. Research that helps your yields grow without killing your soil. Tax breaks that go to families, not foreign investors. You’ve been lied to. But you haven’t lost your strength. You’ve been misled. But you haven’t lost your faith. And now it’s time to fight back - not with hate or division, but with truth, unity, and a loud voice. Because the farmer’s fight has never been about politics. It’s about survival. Survival in America has always started with you So let’s plow forward together. Let’s reclaim our land, our dignity, our voice. Let’s not just grow crops, but a future - one that’s rooted in honesty, watered with hard work, and harvested by the hands of those who still believe in the promise of this country. Because I do. And I believe in you. All of us believe in you. This is a public episode.

    Where are our leaders?

    Another government shutdown, another round of finger-pointing. Republicans claim Democrats want to “fund healthcare for illegal immigrants.” Democrats say Republicans are “holding America hostage” by refusing to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, which will drive up healthcare premiums for millions of Americans. Both sides are performing, and we the people are the collateral damage. Here’s the truth: neither party is acting like the adult in the room. And the President (the man who once promised “I alone can fix it”) has chosen chaos over compromise. Instead of leading, Donald Trump has mocked negotiations, telling Democrats to “go f*** themselves” rather than doing the hard work of governing. That’s not the face of a leader. That’s a coward with a personal vendetta. Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House. They own this failure. They’ve spent months recycling lies about Democrats funding healthcare for “illegals” - claims that have been repeatedly fact-checked and debunked. But Democrats aren’t off the hook either. They’ve offered no serious long-term healthcare alternative, no bold plan to make coverage affordable, no vision that breaks the cycle of crisis and subsidy. Years of accepting the status quo. So here we are again. Gridlock, furloughs, national parks closed, small businesses stranded, and families wondering how they’ll pay bills because the government can’t pay its own. Meanwhile, politicians play to the cameras, pretending this is about principle. It’s not. It’s about power - and a President who mistakes division for dominance. America needs a Nobody who governs like our future depends on it America doesn’t need more name-calling. We need leadership that invests - not obstructs. We need to fund healthcare, schools, infrastructure, clean energy, and innovation. We need to plan for the next decade, not relive the past or grab the next headline. The job of a President is to bring people together to solve problems, not to weaponize them. Real strength isn’t about telling half the country to “go to hell.” It’s about finding common ground when it’s hard, and fighting for everyone - not just the ones at your rallies. This shutdown isn’t a symptom of policy differences. It’s a failure of leadership - and the cost will be paid by the very people our leaders were elected to serve. The family whose healthcare premiums will jump so high that they’ll live every day in fear of an ER visit that could lead to bankruptcy. The veterans who relied on affordable care to help them deal with the mental trauma of war but instead chose to take their own lives (or even worse, others). Those aren’t “weak, woke constituents” to be played like pawns. They’re the unfortunate reality if we can’t find a way to do what’s right - what’s human. We must demand better. While an extension of ACA subsidies is a critical lifeline for millions of Americans, it’s time to do the right thing, the hard thing, the just thing. Ensure universal healthcare for all. Not kicking the can down the road with “hopes and prayers” for a more balanced Congress. Healthcare for all is worthy of this fight. And we the people should demand nothing less.

    Against chaos, FOR US

    Make this weekend FOR US - for all of us rejecting the chaos, resisting the lies and soundbites, and reclaiming our voice and our power as Americans. Over the past nine months, the President has only progressed HIS agenda, HIS authority, and HIS bank account. It’s time we fought back and said ENOUGH. No more using our cities as a violent battleground against immigrant families under the guise of a criminal drug war. No more threats against free speech and punishing protests. No more illegal withholding of Congressionally-funded programs that keep us safe, protect our rights, and modernize our infrastructure. No more false narratives about leftwing extremists shutting down the government. No more weaponizing the DOJ against political enemies, universities, journalists, media, and everyday citizens peacefully expressing their dissent. Trump recognizes the problems of violence, agency dysfunction, and political division - but instead of solving them, he doubles down on aggressive, top-down maneuvers that punish public servants, stop dissent, and wield fear as policy. He thrives in a world where fear > facts. But that’s not governing - that’s holding America hostage. And the buck stops with HIM. He is responsible. Trump says “fight like hell.” I say stand together, rise together, live free together. Protect your vulnerable neighbor. Support our veterans. Defend freedom. Unite in protest. Celebrate differences. Resist apathy. That’s not weakness. That’s the one true strength we have in democracy. This is a public episode.

    The Real Fight for America

    People are hurting. Bills go up faster than paychecks. Food, rent, medicine - all of it. Millions worry whether a shutdown will cost them their jobs or savings. Parents pray their kids won’t grow up in a country torn apart by hate and violence. These aren’t talking points - they’re our daily reality. Now, Donald Trump sees these same problems. He’s correctly acknowledging that the status quo isn’t and hasn’t been working for most of us. I give him credit there. But instead of solving them, he simply wraps empty promises in headlines. He recognizes the pain, then offers platitudes. His answers sound tough on Fox News…but deliver nothing. Let’s look at the record. Government shutdown threats - a looming deadline Trump said earlier this month: “If government funding stops, agencies will propose reduction-in-force plans.” He calls it draining the swamp but his threat would cut almost half of the Department of Health and Human Services, including Medicaid offices. The facts: Even conservative think tanks warned that these cuts will “gut basic services for seniors, veterans, and families.” Instead of saving money, it will dramatically increase emergency spending when (not if) those programs collapse. For a single mom working in federal info tech, that’s not draining the swamp. That’s cutting off her paycheck and her kids’ futures. Inflation and the economy - another surge in costs Trump recently boasted: “Inflation was rampant under Biden, but under me it’s been cut back.” Then promised to “slash interest rates by 3 points overnight.” Sounds like relief, right? But here’s the truth. The facts: The Wall Street Journal reported this month that Trump’s tariff hikes have “added 2% to consumer prices across the board.” Slashing rates while raising tariffs will only fuel more inflation - especially in housing, energy, and consumer goods. And we’re already seeing those effects. For young families trying to buy their first home, this means higher prices that lock them out of the market, not lower ones. And rising costs across the board make it less likely every day that those families will achieve the American dream. Political violence - zero is the only acceptable number Trump declared: “I am signing an Executive Order to dismantle Domestic Terrorism Networks.” But in that announcement, he only named groups on the left. Not a word about the Proud Boys or far-right militias threatening to incite violence. Just more politics and bluster from him and the Vice President about “violence from the left” without acknowledging what everyone sees right in front of our eyes. Political violence victimizes us all. And our leaders can help by saying ENOUGH and reminding all Americans that zero violence is the only acceptable stat. The facts: Even Republicans like Representative Ken Buck from Colorado warned last month that “any selective crackdown risks emboldening right-wing violence while ignoring reality.” This administration isn’t making us safer. It’s putting a bigger target on the backs of individuals in both parties. Immigration & safety - creating a lifetime of fear Trump has always claimed: “Only I can secure the border. My wall is stronger than steel.” Yet just this summer he ordered mass reviews of over 55 million US visa holders already legally in the US. And haphazardly rolled out a knee-jerk policy impacting millions of students already attending US universities and relying on the prospect of an H1B visa. The facts: A Cato Institute analysis (conservative / libertarian) showed visa revocations “overwhelmingly target law-abiding workers and families,” not criminals. And deporting skilled workers would shrink GDP by billions. For individuals here legally and running a small business, Trump’s promise isn’t security. It’s the threat of losing everything they’ve built if they simply disagree with any of the President’s policies. Jobs and layoffs - instability means slow growth Trump has bragged at rallies: “Under me, jobs are coming back bigger than ever.” But several blue chip and tech companies have announced recent layoffs - citing Trump’s tariffs and trade uncertainty. The facts: CNBC reported in September that “Trump’s tariffs on steel, autos, and semiconductors are accelerating U.S. layoffs in manufacturing.” For Republicans in the Midwest who run a small trucking business, “jobs coming back” rings hollow when their customers can’t afford to ship vital raw materials. The President understands the problems - but doesn’t want to actually solve them So here’s the pattern: Trump names the problem. Families are hurting. Violence is real. Jobs are shaky. And he’s right. Then he promises the moon - but delivers policies that punish families, increase costs, and divide us. He doesn’t fix the fire. He fuels it. How is that making America great? Finally, some fresh alternatives - all for us * Instead of using shutdowns as a purge of your fellow hard-working American public servants, I’d push Congress to cut corporate subsidies, increase taxes on the top 1%, and enforce taxes on crypto gains to keep essential services running. * Instead of tariffs that drive up prices and require bailouts due to ineffective policy that hurts American farmers and businesses, I’d reinstate fair international trade deals that incentivize mutual global success. I’d also create an Innovation Corps to lead the world through a new tech industrial revolution - good-paying jobs in energy, infrastructure, healthcare and medical research, and advanced manufacturing to lift Americans up and provide jobs that matter. * Instead of selective crackdowns on “the other side,” I’d confront all violence with equal justice and real resources. No more political persecutions. No more hateful, divisive language about half of Americans being political enemies. * Instead of driving out law-abiding immigrants, I’d fix the visa and immigration system so workers can contribute legally, safely, and permanently. And avoid a lifetime of fear and uncertainty. * Instead of hollow promises on jobs, I’d stabilize supply chains, invest in small businesses, and make trade fair - not self-destructive. Introducing a new “Rumble on the Lawn” series Now, I know some of you might be thinking: “That all sounds good - but how will it actually work? How will YOU make it happen?” That’s why, starting this month, I’m launching something new: The Rumble on the (White House) Lawn. Every day for the next 30 days, I’ll take on one of these pressing issues and address the root of the problem - inflation, healthcare, jobs, political violence, immigration, energy, education, and more - in a head-to-head debate with the President’s own words and policies (since he wouldn’t dare to actually debate a nobody on issues that matter for you and your families). His promises versus his results. His soundbites versus your struggles. And then, side by side, I’ll lay out real solutions with real impacts based on the All 4 Us movement: plans that actually fix problems, bring people together, and make life better for ALL of us. Not just the billionaires and 1%. At any time, President Trump can directly clear up his policies and positions…but he won’t. He can make policy about YOU rather than him…but he won’t. This won’t be another round of Washington noise. It’ll be raw, direct, and grounded in truth - because you deserve more than slogans. You deserve answers. You deserve results. Most of you will say that this doesn’t directly impact you. Or that you don’t have a voice. But your voice is much more powerful than the President wants you to believe. And his actions show that he is much smaller than all of us hoped he’d be. So we all have an important choice before us: politics of division, distraction, and empty promises - or steps forward toward unity, dignity, and real progress. I’m not a billionaire. I’m not a family dynasty. I’m just a nobody - a nobody who believes in all of us. And together, we can move beyond chaos, beyond the bluster, and finally build an America that works. The rumble starts now. This is a public episode.

    How to handle our Narcissist-in-Chief

    Donald Trump is who he is. At this point, nobody’s surprised by his behavior. He craves attention, demands loyalty, and treats truth like it’s optional. Psychologists call it narcissism. Ordinary people call it exhausting. Either way, it’s NOT going to change. But here’s the thing. America doesn’t need to change him. America needs to change how we deal with him without losing our own humanity, without undermining the values that make us strong. Because this is bigger than Trump. He is just the loudest voice in a much older problem: the 1% putting themselves above the 99%. Power over people. Ego over empathy. And while he feeds off division, fear, and rage, our greatest weapon is the opposite: unity, hope, and courage. This isn’t about him. It’s about us. It’s about proving that the collective will of the American people is greater than the fragile ego of any one man. The how-to guide: Managing narcissism, saving democracy So, how do we, the 99%, manage this? Not by stooping to his level. Not by mirroring his rage. We do it by doubling down on truth, dignity, and unity. Here’s how: * Recognize the patternNarcissists demand constant attention. When Trump lies - and he will - we call it out once, show the facts, then move on. Don’t give him the endless echo chamber he craves. Every minute spent on his lies is a minute stolen from highlighting healthcare, jobs, and the rising cost of everything. * Make him feel heard - But don’t give him powerYes, he’ll shout. Yes, he’ll demand praise. Let him have his rally applause. It costs us nothing. What matters is that we don’t mistake his noise for a mandate. We acknowledge his voice exists, but we build policy around the millions of other voices he’s ignoring. * Resist his policy, not personalityFighting his personality is a circus. Fighting his policies is democracy. When he signs an executive order that hurts working families, we resist - in courts, in Congress, at the ballot box. When his policies favor billionaires over teachers and truck drivers, we organize and repeal them. * Stay united, not dividedNarcissists thrive on division. Every time we scream at each other on social media, Trump doesn’t lose. We do. The All 4 Us movement is about bringing left, right, and center together around the what we all care about: healthcare, jobs, security and humanity, education, and energy. These aren’t partisan issues. They’re American ones. * Refuse to lose our humanityThe greatest danger of Trump’s narcissism isn’t him. It’s us becoming like him. If we give up empathy, honesty, or courage, then he’s already won. Our power comes from staying human in the face of inhumanity. He is who he is. We are who we MUST be. Here’s the thing about narcissists: they don’t see you. They don’t care about you. They only care about themselves. And Trump? He’s the ultimate example. He tells you he’s the champion of the people. But look closely. HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT YOU! “Otherwise, I wouldn’t care…” if journalists make it home to their families. He’s obviously NOT fighting for the 99% of Americans who work hard, play by the rules, and just want a fair shot. He’s only cares for himself. For his billionaire buddies. For his brand. For his reflection in a gold-plated mirror. But while Trump rages, real Americans suffer. Families are crushed by healthcare bills. Students are buried in debt. Workers see jobs vanish while billionaires get tax breaks. The 99% is paying the price for one man’s ego trip, and stuck cleaning up his mess. Trump’s narcissism is not our destiny. He will not suddenly discover humility or empathy. He will not put country over self. He is who he is. But we are who we have always been: a country capable of rising above division, capable of building together, capable of writing a new chapter in our story. America is the 99%. It’s teachers and truckers, ranchers and nurses, builders and dreamers, entrepreneurs and doers. It’s all of us, together. Our challenge is not to cure Donald Trump’s narcissism. Our challenge is to cure America’s habit of letting narcissists lead us. To stop chasing little men in big suits and start building strong communities. The 1% will try to divide us, distract us, and drain us. But if we stand together, no ego, no billionaire, no narcissist can stop the people’s will. Trump is who he is. But America? America is who we decide to be. Who we MUST be. We are not the servants of the 1%. We are the soul of the 99. This is a public episode.
