I sat down with filmmaker Mike Sheridan to talk about his documentary Amplified: The Exportation of the Culture Wars. It looks at something we don’t often stop to think about.

Not just what’s happening in America. But what America is doing to the rest of the world.

Mike traces how our culture wars, our politics, our media habits, even our tone, are showing up in places like Ireland. And what that looks like when it lands.

We talk about the Dublin riots.

We talk about Trump and the permission structure he created.

We talk about tech platforms, misinformation, and the slow normalization of anger.

How this spreads. Why it works. And what it costs.
