    Donald Trump is the master of distraction. Bombing Iran's nuclear infrastructure is the 47th President's latest effort to cover up a stagnant economy, a terrible budget bill, and a parade flop. Join me and Val Atkinson as we discuss Trump's attempt to change the subject.

    The Deal with Ed Clark - April 7, 2025 Episode

    Trump said that if Harris were elected president, we would see a stock market crash. He was only half right. He meant to say that there would be a crash if he were elected. Join me, Val Atkinson, as we discuss the mess Trump has made of the economy with his tariff policy. Plus, we look at the latest on deportations, the attempt to steal a seat on the NC Supreme Court, and the complete collapse of the Duke basketball team in the Final Four. We also managed to talk about a lot more. Don't forget to let your friends know and to subscribe.

    We're back! I chop it with Val Atkinson as we talk about the latest news you need to know about. We've got you covered, from the tariffs to the tanking stock market and enemies the Trump administration is making in Canada and Greenland. Hear commentary that you won't get anywhere else. We also look into Trump's latest executive order threatening to end funding for the National Museum of African American History, wrongfully deported immigrants sent to El Salvador, and the lack of help going to Trump supporters in West Virginia.

    The Deal with Ed Clark - March 22, 2025 Episode

    Another week of the Musk administration, I mean the Trump administration, is over. We only got the dismantling of the Department of Education, Elon Musk's being allowed to get into the Pentagon without a clearance, the deportation of people who likely should not have been removed from the country, and the whitewashing of Jackie Ribinson's legacy. Is that enough? Join us as we talk about all those things and much more.

    I'm in Tanzania, but the news doesn't stop. Join me, along with Professor Val Atkinson, as we try to make sense of what's going on in American politics.

As thousands of employees are fired without regard to whether they are needed, what happens to critical services like disaster relief and overseeing our nuclear weapon stockpile? Plus, we take a look at US foreign policy that will ensure Russia wins in Ukraine, and the Palestinian ambition to have their own state seems further away than ever.

    The Deal with Ed Clark - The Trump is Back Episode - January 21, 2025

    Was this the weirdest inauguration ever? I think so. Donald Trump occupies the White House and immediately issues a slew of executive orders that don't help Americans. What happens next? Instead of sitting around, we try to figure out what the next four years will be like and how we make the best of a bad situation. Join Val Atkinson and me for a special episode of The Deal.
