Transcript:
Today on the show, the supposedly booming economy is taking another punch to the face. Private payrolls lost another 32,000 jobs. Small businesses are getting crushed by the tariffs, and even Fox Business can only stomach talking about it for 30 seconds before they move on to something else.
We’re also going to talk about Scott Bessent’s growing obsession with talking about how much cheaper red states are, but what that misses is an analysis of why blue states are more expensive, how much higher salaries are, and, of course, how much better health care and education are. We’re going to get into all of it and then stunning Trump approval numbers collapsing to 36% that is the lowest it has ever been, other than the two weeks after the Trump riots of January 6, 2021.
Even though Trump has said 2028 is not going to be for him, Steve Bannon says there is a plan, and by redefining terms, Trump will be able to serve a third term. Is he just trolling, or is there anything real behind it?
And we are also going to take a deeper dive in terms of the jobs question at blue collar jobs, specifically, which are collapsing under this administration. I also am going to delve into the very strange sort of irony of the obsession with the prototypical alpha male in this administration, and the lack of alpha males in this administration.
All of those stories and more on today’s show. What a day.
