This Jasmine Crockett Ad Just Changed Everything

“Actual Friends” podcast hosts Dave Rubin, Sage Steele, and Dr. Drew Pinsky react to Jasmine Crockett’s viral ad using Donald Trump’s own words, discuss whether Democrats are elevating her as a new rising figure in Texas politics, and examine the shocking voter demographics that suggest the state may be shifting faster than anyone expected; the trio also breaks down the growing fatigue around race-centered political narratives, the comparisons between Crockett, AOC, and Gavin Newsom, and the broader strategic landscape heading into 2025; from Adam Carolla’s argument that modern life is making people miserable, to the cultural debate over safe spaces, resilience, and the role of men, to Bill Maher’s heated exchange with Ana Kasparian over women’s rights and Middle East hypocrisy, this episode dives deep into the culture war, ideological blind spots, political storytelling, and why truth has become secondary to narrative in today’s media environment.
