Transcript:
Today I’m going to talk to you about politics increasingly becoming content instead of actual governance and policy. And I want to explain why the internet may have fundamentally broken the incentives of democracy, where politicians are increasingly influencers and Congress is becoming a clip factory.
Then, TACO Trump strikes again. Trump resurfaces, saying Middle Eastern leaders this time begged him, he’s so strong. “Please don’t attack Iran.” And Fox News is spinning it to look like Trump is strong.
Also, today I’m going to show you the numbers behind a major YouTube problem hitting left-wing independent media where impressions have collapsed and something is going on.
Also, Mark Cuban shows up to the White House with Donald Trump for a bizarre health care infomercial, essentially, claiming Americans love his corruption. They just love it. They want more of it.
But people around MAGA are increasingly talking about a post-Trump future, and they’re talking about the 25th Amendment. Maybe Robert Reich’s idea last week about the 25th Amendment is the most likely way to remove Trump is right, after all.
And then in an unbelievable news story, new financial disclosures show that Donald Trump spent the last year publicly hyping stocks he had just bought. But he didn’t tell anybody until now.
All of the corruption and more on today’s show.
Don’t miss the full show with these stories and others, plus all of our analysis.
