Politics, Trust, and the Search for Common Sense- Billy Dees Talks with Chase Russell
In this episode of The Billy Dees Podcast, Billy sits down with Chase Russell, a political strategist, president of Gray Eagle Strategies, and author of Winning Without Millions for a wide-ranging conversation about the changing landscape of American politics. Russell shares his perspective on Florida politics and Byron Donalds, Ohio politics and Vivek Ramaswamy, and what it takes for candidates to compete without establishment backing or massive campaign budgets. The conversation also explores the growing influence of artificial intelligence, the debate surrounding data centers, political misinformation, free speech, citizen journalism, and the challenges candidates face in an increasingly polarized environment. Billy and Chase also take a deeper look at declining public trust, the appeal of socialism among younger voters, economic frustration, crime and personal responsibility, and the growing tendency to view politics through a tribal lens. Both argue for a return to honesty, accountability, critical thinking, and what Billy calls a little more common sense. It's a candid conversation about politics, technology, trust, and the future of American political discourse—with plenty of disagreement, perspective, and practical insight along the way.
