Disrupt, The Left's Response to Turning Point USA | Live with Carlos Calzadilla | Let's Address This

In this conversation, Carlos Calzadilla-Palacio explains why he founded Disrupt, a rapidly growing national movement designed to counter the influence of Turning Point USA and organize young people around a different vision for America's future. He argues that corporate power, wealth inequality, and political insiders have created the conditions that allowed Trumpism to thrive—and that neither major party has adequately addressed the crisis. We discuss why young voters have become disillusioned with traditional politics, how Project 2025 helped inspire the creation of Disrupt, the growing demand for a new generation of leadership, the role of economic populism, and why Carlos believes the real political divide isn't left versus right—but ordinary people versus concentrated wealth and power. We also discuss the Epstein files, political accountability, and what it will take to build a movement capable of challenging entrenched interests.
