About this episode
DSH #1836In - this post-election conversation, Officer Tatum breaks down why he believes the “energy” in the country shifted after the election — from media narratives and celebrity endorsements to how everyday people feel inflation, rent spikes, and grocery prices.
We also get into why he thinks authenticity is winning over scripted politics, how podcasts changed political marketing, and why “real life” economic pressure matters more than endorsements. Then the discussion turns to immigration strategy, voter ID, and what a long-term political realignment could look like.
The final stretch takes a sharp turn into health, pharma incentives, vaccine schedules, and medical skepticism, plus a raw set of police stories that show what officers actually see on the job.
