Dom L'Amour speaks with good friend Jon Butts AKA J Boogie @jonbuttsishereabout our feelings on the state of the upcoming election.

What if the political landscape is more fragile than we think? Join me, Dom L'Amour, on the Black Man Talking Emotions podcast as I sit down with my good friend J Boogie, aka Jon Butts, to dissect the current state of U.S. politics and its looming impact on the upcoming election. We unravel the complexities behind eroding voter bases, President Biden's plummeting approval ratings, and the overall sense of disillusionment gripping the nation. Alongside our political analysis, Jay shares some light-hearted updates on his personal life, including a new home and preparing for the joy of fatherhood, while also lamenting a sold-out show that didn’t go as planned.

Our candid conversation takes a hard look at the global influence of U.S. politics, the relentless left-right battle, and the chaos that defined the first debate between Biden and Trump. We ponder the efficacy of past Democratic candidates like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, and confront the double standards in political scandals. The chapter titled "Navigating News and Trump's Legal Battles" is a deep dive into our media consumption habits, balancing between comedic relief from John Oliver and Seth Meyers, and more neutral reporting from NPR. We also reflect on the repetitive nature of Trump's media coverage and the unwavering support from his followers.

Wrapping up, we explore the contrasting perceptions of Trump and Biden, touching on their respective promises, actions, and the moral dilemmas they present. From minimum wage issues to labor laws and systemic injustices, our discussion sheds light on the role of government in improving lives. We even venture into the personal, discussing the challenges of city life and the importance of staying connected and informed. This episode is a mix of political discourse and personal reflection that promises to be both thought-provoking and heartfelt. Tune in and join our conversation.
