[Podcast Episode] Patriot or Nationalist? The Dangerous Game Trump Is Playing with America’s Soul

Today, we dive deep into a critical conversation sparked by trial lawyer Mitch Jackson’s powerful article on patriotism versus nationalism.

We unpack why true patriotism isn’t about chanting slogans or pledging blind loyalty—it’s about loving America enough to demand it lives up to its promises of freedom, justice, and equality for all.

In a back-and-forth discussion, we explore how Trump’s “America First” playbook has crossed the line into dangerous nationalism: isolating America, attacking democratic institutions, scapegoating immigrants, and twisting national pride into a weapon.

Is America still a beacon for the world, or are we slipping into something far more dangerous?

Join us as we break down the difference between standing up for a country’s ideals... and selling them out for power.

Hit play—and find out why the real fight for America’s soul is happening right now.
