One Term Only - Evan Jaqua Breaks Politicians Addiction to Power S3-EP10

<p>Havok and LX sit down with Evan Jaqua, globe-trotting founder of the Solutions Party, for an unscripted wrestling match over the oldest political drug of all: power. After 20 years in Japan, time in communist China, and two decades in South America, Evan came home convinced career politicians, rage-bait news, and immortal parties are the common denominator behind government failure everywhere. His fix is blunt: one term, no reelection, no running for the next office while you serve. Then he stacks on temporary parties, certified journalism with a National Press Fund, five-year government jobs with efficiency bounties, and a worldwide war on corruption that starts at the local bid table. The two bearded guys do what they do best: push back hard. How do you get the people extracting wealth from power to vote it away? Who audits the auditors? Why would voters suddenly agree on anything? And isn’t government itself the tumor? Evan answers with Lincoln, Thomas Sowell, Carroll Quigley, Putin-as-plumber thought experiments, and a stubborn faith that people are sick of the Kool-Aid. No scripts. No sacred cows. Just tomatoes in space and a long conversation about whether democracy can still reach its “majestic potential.”</p>
