Mayim Bialik's Breakdown

What if everything you thought you knew about race, racism, and social justice was only part of the story? In this explosive episode, Coleman Hughes, (Free Press writer, podcast host of Conversations with Coleman, and author of The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America) joins Mayim and Jonathan for a deep, nuanced discussion about identity, equality, and the role of technology in shaping cultural narratives. From the rise of critical race theory and the decline of race relations post-2013 to the algorithmic outrage fueled by social media, Hughes breaks down the data behind America’s polarization and makes the case for true colorblindness. Is DEI making things better or worse? Are inherited trauma and systemic racism scientifically valid concepts? Hughes tackles how identity politics gave rise to Donald Trump, the difference between neo-racism and old-school racism and why he believes we need to talk about race less, not more. Whether you agree or disagree, this is a must-watch for anyone grappling with today’s culture wars.

Why is Everyone Talking About Project 2025 & Should You Be Worried? How Dangerous Is It? What Does it Mean for America? Is Project 2025 Trump’s agenda? No matter which side of the political aisle you're on, America is being reshaped, and it’s important to be aware of these big changes that will impact so many of us. As Trump's first 100 days in office for a second term comes to a close, we’re breaking down Project 2025 - what it is, who’s really behind it, how it’s already restructuring society, what else is to come, the global implications, and why we need to start finally taking it seriously. David A. Graham (political & national affair staff writer at The Atlantic, author of The Project: How Project 2025 Is Reshaping America) gives his political analysis of the hidden dangers of Project 2025 — from mass federal layoffs and the erasure of environmental protections to the terrifying push for Christian-only values and a government that could soon look unrecognizable. With whispers of invading Canada, reclaiming the Panama Canal, and rewriting democracy itself, Graham dives deep into how this political earthquake could dismantle the U.S. system as we know it — and why now, more than ever, we need to wake up, speak out, and fight for what’s left of due process, education, and basic rights.
