What happens when a principled conservative and a reformed Trump voter sit down for a real conversation? You get Episode 2 of Allied We Can Cross the Aisle.

In “Power Plays & Principles,” I talk with Tom Buffo—a retired sales manager, devoted grandfather, and unapologetically honest voice in today’s political chaos.

We cover everything from:

• Trump’s unprecedented federalization of the National Guard

• The truth behind the “Big Beautiful Bill”

• What it really means to be fiscally conservative

• Immigration reform, media manipulation, and the dangers of authoritarian creep

Tom doesn’t pull punches. He challenges both sides. And he shows what it looks like to stand in your values while still being open to new ideas.

This episode isn’t about shouting. It’s about listening.

It’s not about owning the other side. It’s about owning our role in fixing what’s broken.

If you’ve been wondering where all the reasonable voices went…

This is it. This is the conversation we’ve been needing.
