Descripción

Both political parties claim to represent the people. So why does nothing ever change? Today an open-source candidate, Winston Jordan, joins me on the show. He believes neither side is working for everyday Americans — and he's done waiting for them to fix it. Frustrated with the lack of movement on HR 415 and other stalled legislation, he decided to stop complaining and start building. Literally. He programs his own platforms. He builds AI-driven communication tools. And he's running outside of traditional party structures to challenge the system from the ground up. We talk about: • Why both parties stall meaningful reform • What "open-source politics" actually means • Whether technology can restore accountability • Why grassroots candidates struggle to gain traction • And what it would take to truly disrupt the political machine This isn't just another candidate interview, this is a different way to think about and look at power. And what we do next with that information. _______________________________ SUBSCRIBE NOW.

She Saw America's Failures First Hand - What Is She Doing About It?

What happens when a teacher becomes a civil rights attorney and then decides to run for Congress? Today we welcome Laura Dunn, a NY-12 congressional candidate whose career has been spent fighting for people both inside the classroom and inside the courtroom. We discuss the state of public education, civil rights, government accountability, economic justice, and why so many Americans feel abandoned by the very institutions meant to serve them. This isn't a conversation about party politics—it's a conversation about the systems that shape our lives and whether meaningful change is still possible. If you've ever wondered why trust in government is declining, why our institutions seem increasingly disconnected from everyday Americans, or what real reform might look like, this episode is for you. ____________________________ SHARE THIS EPISODE NOW !! Help to get eyes and ears on these suppressed candidates. Don't let our government continue to manipulate the people they're supposed to be advocating for! _____________________________ Find today's guest, Laura Dunn on socials: website - lauradunn4congress.com [https://www.lauradunn4congress.com] TikTok - @lauradunn4congress [https://www.tiktok.com/@lauradunn4congress] YouTube - @LauraDunn4Congress [https://www.youtube.com/@LauraDunn4Congress] Instagram - lauradunn4congress [https://www.instagram.com/lauradunn4congress] ______________________________ *intro/outro audio: The Plot Thickens by Joshua Spacht Owner: Soundstripe, Inc. #FromDirtWeGrow #Congress #CivilRights #Education #Politics #GovernmentReform #NY12 #Podcast #GrassrootsPolitics #Election2026 #Democracy #PoliticalPodcast

Questions about politics. Questions about corruption. Questions about healthcare. Questions about why so many Americans feel unheard. After countless conversations with candidates, veterans, activists, and everyday people, I still don't have every answer. But I found something I wasn't expecting. In this episode, I share the biggest lessons, hardest truths, and unexpected insights from the journey so far. The conversation is just getting started. ____________________________ *intro/outro audio: The Plot Thickens by Joshua Spacht Owner: Soundstripe, Inc.
