About this listen

Episode Three shifts focus from political warfare to the universal tragedy of addiction and mental illness. It examines how opioids, methamphetamine, and alcoholism devastate families in red states and blue states equally, showing that disease doesn't vote. The episode explores what Rob Reiner's money and love couldn't accomplish against Nick's addiction, the bipartisan failure of treatment systems, and the policy solutions that require cooperation. Miles Mercer concludes by arguing that some things are bigger than politics, that shared vulnerability should unite rather than divide us, and that choosing humanity over tribalism is essential for democracy and for saving lives.
