When Anthony Scaramucci steps up to the microphone, you know you're in for a mix of candid insight and seasoned wisdom. As the founder of Skybridge Capital and former White House Communications Director under Trump, 'The Mooch' walks us through his blue-collar roots to his rise in the financial world, and his thoughts on leadership that shapes nations. His tales of endurance, most notably his experience with the Special Forces World's Toughest Test, illustrate the ironclad work ethic that has catapulted him from the trading floor to the corridors of power, and now to our studio.
It's a precarious time in American politics, and Anthony doesn't shy away from addressing the elephant in the room: the threat of authoritarianism. We examine America's constitutional bulwarks designed by the Founding Fathers, intended as safeguards against tyranny. Reflecting on historic dictatorships, we discuss how legal stability underpins our nation's capacity for innovation and question what a return of Trump to the Oval Office could mean for this stability. This episode is a deep examination of leadership styles and their potential impacts, seen through the lens of a nation that has, so far, eluded the grasp of dictatorship.
We round out our conversation with an exploration of the interplay between political elections and the economy. Anthony imparts his insights on why financial independence is not just about saving but about engaging with work that fuels your passion. The dialogue veers into the political sphere, as we consider the challenges veterans face in the current political climate, and the divisive tactics employed in recent campaigns. This episode isn't just an interview; it's a masterclass in the mechanics of finance, the power of resilience, and the imperative of moral leadership. Join us for a journey into the heart of American politics and personal growth with Anthony Scaramucci.

Jonathan Greenberg's Insight on the GOP's Unshakable Fidelity to Trump
Join the riveting conversation with me, Jack Hopkins, and my esteemed guest, investigative journalist Jonathan Greenberg. Greenberg, a Yale Law School alumnus and former Forbes 400 reporter, uncovers the audacious financial fabrications of Donald Trump, or his alter ego, John Barron. Our dialogue reveals the enigmatic loyalty Trump maintains within the GOP, as we dissect the reasons behind the party's unyielding support and highlight the fear tactics used against its members. With each shocking revelation, understand the deep-rooted implications of Trump's manipulation of his public image and financial status, as we scrutinize the mechanisms of power that keep him afloat.
As we question the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland, Greenberg brings his expertise in investigative journalism to bear on the DOJ's approach to the January 6th investigation. He critique's Garland's strategy, pondering if his bottom-up case building is the most effective way to confront the threats to American democracy. Reflecting on legal scholars like Laurence Tribe, we delve into the intricacies of Garland's cautious progression, contrasting it with the urgent need for a robust and aggressive defense of democratic principles.
In our final exchange, we embark on a strategic discussion to transform the political narrative through media campaigns in swing states. By confronting voters with innovative and thought-provoking messages, Jonathan aims to provoke powerful self-reflection on one's values and actions. Through the lens of "Dems Vote Haley" campaign and the potential resonance of the hashtag #hatriot, Jonathan explores tactics to engage and sway non-mainstream media consumers, combat voter complacency, and challenge the disbelievers of our democratic processes. Don't miss this episode for a deep exploration of the power, fear, and pivotal moments shaping democracy's future.

Lev Parnas: A Glimpse Behind The Curtain of US Politics and the MAGA GOP Allegiance to Russia
Lev Parnas, once entangled in the Trump-Ukraine scandal, joins me, Jack Hopkins, for a revealing session that promises to rattle the status quo of political perceptions. As we unpack his intriguing life story from Soviet roots to a consequential figure in American politics, Lev sheds light on the intricacies of his business ascent and the notorious dealings with Rudy Giuliani. His explosive assertions on Trump's intimate involvement with the Ukraine saga offer a prelude to the earthquake his new book, "Shadow Diplomacy," aims to trigger.
The tendrils of Russian influence and an almost theatrical mob mentality in U.S. politics are at the forefront of our engrossing dialogue. We probe the psyche of Donald Trump, drawing parallels to mob bosses and scrutinizing his ties with authoritarian figures, including Putin. This episode peels back the curtain on GOP loyalty to such personas and the murky depths of super PACs, revealing a complex web of political finance and power plays that could reshape the narrative on transparency and integrity in American governance.
As Lev and I cast our gaze towards the looming specter of Trump's political resurgence, the global consequences come sharply into focus. We dissect scenarios that spell a chilling rollback of rights and freedoms, the potential disbanding of NATO, and a world stage vulnerable to escalating dictatorships. Amidst this critical juncture in history, our conversation transcends mere political discourse, emerging as an urgent clarion call to those who treasure democracy and truth, urging listeners to stand united and resilient against the distortion of reality.
I would urge you to read his book, Shadow Diplomacy. It's incredibly insightful. You can find it here: https://a.co/d/iaWx7VM
