In one of the most explosive and revealing conversations of the year, legal scholar and political powerhouse Susan Estrich welcomes Ron Filipkowski — former federal prosecutor, ex-GOP insider, and now one of the most prominent watchdogs of far-right extremism — for a brutally honest discussion about the rapid decline of American political norms.

The episode begins with Ron’s jaw-dropping political evolution. Once a loyal Republican, Ron served as a Marine, a state prosecutor, and a trusted legal voice within conservative circles. But everything changed with the rise of Donald Trump. Ron recounts in vivid detail the moments that led to his stunning departure from the Republican Party — from watching the erosion of truth and institutional integrity, to the gut-wrenching realization that his party had embraced conspiracy, authoritarianism, and fear over principle.

Susan and Ron don’t hold back — tackling:

• 💥 The radicalization of the GOP and how Trump reshaped the party in his image
• 📉 The collapse of traditional political leadership and guardrails
• 🔥 The weaponization of media and disinformation
• 🗳️ What this all means heading into the 2024 election — and whether American democracy can still be saved

With Susan’s sharp legal mind and Ron’s insider perspective, this conversation cuts through the noise with clarity, urgency, and unflinching honesty. It’s a candid look at a political world in freefall — and what it will take to pull it back from the edge.

Whether you're left, right, or somewhere in the middle, this episode is a wake-up call. If you've found yourself wondering, "How did it all get this bad — and so fast?" — this is the conversation you need to hear.

This week on No Holding Back, Susan Estrich welcomes veteran political journalist Andrew Feinberg for a no-nonsense deep dive into the latest chaos circling the Trump orbit. At the center of the storm? Laura Loomer — controversial provocateur, self-styled operative, and now, somehow, inching closer to the former president’s inner circle. How did she manipulate her way in, what role might the NSA be playing, and what exactly is she hoping to accomplish?

Susan and Andrew break down the disturbing implications, the media blind spots, and the bigger power play unfolding behind the scenes. Plus, the two tackle the shocking details of Donald Trump’s new tariff plan — what it means for America’s economy, global trade, and his 2024 strategy.

It's bold. It’s unfiltered. It’s No Holding Back.
