Flow Ep. 49: JD Vance Concerns, Second Gilded Age & Abraham Clark
About this episode
Cam Cooksey brings on special cohost Caleb Epp for a deep, no-holds-barred conversation. The two dig into Trump's True Social posts on Iran negotiations, the lingering blockade, and the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire extension. They wade into whether JD Vance is controlled by defense interests and what Peter Thiel's influence on the presidency could mean long term. A debated clip raises questions about Trump's faith. The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation comes up as a striking example of government waste exposed. A wealth inequality video sparks talk of a Second Gilded Age and what it means for regular Americans. A live shooter incident at the White House Correspondents Dinner unfolds in real time in the chat. The show closes with a tribute to Abraham Clark, the Declaration signer who refused a deal to free his captive sons. A genuinely great episode with two guys who aren't afraid to ask hard questions.
