When Narratives Replace Reality

from Next Steps Show Hosted by Peter Vazquez

A Friday mic check turns into a civics gut punch. Peter Vazquez and Gary Stout trace how narratives are built, sold, and enforced, from Venezuela’s collapse to New York’s decay. Refugee voices cut through the comfortable lies, while talk turns to elections, media blackout, and the cost of leaderless politics. Not a rant, a wake up call with receipts.
