Transcript:
Today’s show is packed, and not necessarily in a good way. Although it is a good sign that 14 Republicans are breaking with Trump, signing an open letter saying the trade agenda is destroying American farmers. This is the kind of public rebellion Trump probably didn’t imagine.
Trump is also announcing that he wants nuclear weapons testing to start immediately. He doesn’t know who has the largest stockpile. He thinks it’s the US, but it’s Russia. He doesn’t know what the Department of Defense is called, and he keeps talking like a guy auditioning to be dictator of a fictional country. Embarrassing and dangerous.
Then we will go to Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi. He looked weak, confused, and weirdly infatuated with Xi. Even Fox News is trying to figure out how to spin it.
We’ll also hear from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, explaining in really plain English why this administration’s tariffs and broader economic policy are not good for the economy.
And by the way, RFK Jr. admits they don’t really have any causal evidence between Tylenol and autism. Also, did you know that you were paying for Kash Patel’s girlfriend to fly around on government planes?
Before we jump in, please leave us a five-star rating for the podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. It takes five seconds, maybe seven. It really helps the show and keeps us independent.
