The GOP Tax Plan Is Fiscal Insanity

This is a preview of the Patron-only Weekender episode. To gain full access to these episodes, as well as special post-event and live recordings, and to keep the show editorially independent and ad-free, head over to Patreon and become a subscriber today. Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman go through the House Tax Plan as put together by Republicans who used to pretend to care about deficits, but this one will just add to the debt astronomically. Donald Trump's awful math makes him think he can make up that deficit by selling Gold Cards to get citizenship. They had to go through the bizarre "Dear Leader" (but who is the leader) cabinet meeting that had Bobby Kennedy Jr minimizing a measles outbreak in Texas. And they finish with Jeff Bezos editorializing the editorials - exerting the kind of control that, in a different era, would have killed any publication's credibility.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman talk about a social media post from the White House depicting Donald Trump as king with the caption: Love Live The King!

While some Republicans seem to be unsure of their support for this latest wave, most members of the GOP are falling in line for fear of political and/or violent retribution.

Musk Takes Over Our Government

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman break down a story that should be dominating headlines but isn't: how Elon Musk and a group of insiders allegedly seized access to the U.S. Treasury’s payment systems, giving them unprecedented control over government funds and classified data. How did this happen? Who tried to stop it? And why isn’t this the biggest news in the country right now? Then, we turn to the escalating trade war—Trump has slapped massive tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and now both countries are hitting back. What does this mean for consumers, businesses, and global stability? Spoiler: nothing good. Finally, a chilling economic shift is underway. Hedge funds are making enormous bets on a U.S. market collapse. Do they know something the rest of us don’t? And if so, how bad could things really get? Buckle up—this one’s big.

Great info and perspective. The back and forth dialogue between hosts Jared and Nick keeps the discussion fluid and interesting. Keep up the great work. ***any chance you’ll bring Richard Wolff on for a discussion on the failure of capitalism and the fall and future of America?***
