  • 5/16/25: Soft civil wars and big pharma bribes
    May 16 2025

    -- On the Show:

    — Trump talks about suspending habeas corpus, a mayor is arrested for protesting, and much of the country shrugs. We explain how normalization is the point—and how authoritarianism doesn’t need shock, just your resignation.

    — From judges being stalked to school boards under threat, we unpack what modern civil war actually looks like—and how the U.S. may already be in one.

    — Trump’s team is openly considering prosecuting Democrats.

    — Trump’s orange spray tan gets more protection from Republicans than the Constitution. A student asks why he’s orange—and a GOP rep panics.

    — We ask the uncomfortable question: what if Trump doesn’t even need to finish his term? We explain how Trump was always the vehicle, not the destination—and why J.D. Vance is the backup plan.

    — RFK Jr. casually admits Trump took $100 million from Big Pharma—and Trump nods. Then the pharma stocks go up. But sure, he “can’t be bought.”

    — MAGA civil war explodes as Trump names a new Surgeon General who’s too moderate for the fringe. Anti-vaxxers turn on Trump. RFK Jr. branded controlled opposition.

    — Rand Paul goes rogue, saying Trump shouldn’t accept Qatar’s $400 million plane, and admitting tariffs hurt Americans. Somewhere, Jesse Watters faints.

    — Friday Feedback returns: We respond to questions about the MAGA economy, Trump’s spiral, the illusion of civil discourse, and the future of this show.

    — Kristi Noem gets annihilated on live television as Rep. Swalwell and Rep. Ramirez deliver brutal takedowns on ethics and fake photos

    — Trump publicly gushes over Qatar’s authoritarian leaders after receiving a $400M private jet—he’s not even pretending anymore

    — Trump stuns everyone with deranged, senile rants during his Middle East trip: drone trees, submarines, and Sean Duffy climbing competitions

    — Trump whines that Biden is “mean” and “stupid” in part two of his Hannity interview—proving once again who the real snowflake is

    — Pam Bondi sold $1M+ in Trump Media stock the same day Trump announced tariffs that cratered the market—insider trading, anyone?

    — RFK Jr. says Americans shouldn’t take medical advice from him… while serving as Health Secretary

    — RFK Jr. also says $40,000 a month is a reasonable rehab cost, defending Medicaid cuts from the comfort of generational wealth

    -- On the Bonus Show: Trump impeachment resolution pulled moments before vote, Gavin Newsom reverses course on healthcare for undocumented immigrants, and more reporting on Pam Bondi’s shady stock sale

  • 5/14/25: Trump bows down to Saudi Crown Prince, AOC pounds MAGA on Medicaid
    May 14 2025

    -- On the Show:

    -- Ned Price, intelligence and national security professional who spent more than a decade at the CIA, served at the White House’s National Security Council, U.S. Department of State, and was the Deputy to the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, joins David to discuss the illegality of Trump accepting a free plane from Qatar, and the broader corruption that is happening under Trump's watch

    — AOC obliterates the GOP’s Medicaid lies, exposing how their plan punishes 13.7 million Americans to protect the rich

    — Trump collapses in a softball Hannity interview, spiraling into incoherent rants about airplanes, drugstore “fat shots,” and imaginary healthcare plans

    — Trump literally falls asleep during a major Saudi summit, joined by his Treasury Secretary and Secretary of State, as the world watches in disbelief

    — In a humiliating spectacle, Trump showers praise on Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman—the man U.S. intel says ordered the murder of a journalist

    — Trump gets hit with new articles of impeachment in Congress, and Republicans are about to be forced to go on record

    — There is still no China trade deal—Trump now admits it’s just “a concept,” not an agreement, not a framework, not anything

    -- On the Bonus Show: What’s in Trump’s new tax and immigration bill, federal judge authorizes Alien Enemies Act deportations, and Supreme Court prepares for a showdown over birthright citizenship, much more...

  • 5/13/25: They’re cutting Medicaid, they’re doing more corruption
    May 13 2025

    -- On the Show:

    -- Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) joins David to discuss the tariffs, the flouting of the rule of law, potential suspension of habeas corpus by the Trump administration, deportations, and more...

    — Republicans swore they wouldn’t cut Medicaid — now they’re doing exactly that, and 13 million Americans could lose coverage

    — Trump’s big promise to cut spending is a complete fraud: the deficit is exploding, DOGE was a joke, and Elon Musk already got what he wanted

    — Trump’s refugee program for white South Africans is now real — and Fox is openly admitting it’s about bringing in people who can “assimilate”

    — Trump officials are now saying out loud that white immigrants are being prioritized because they “fit in better” — the racism is no longer subtle

    — Donald Trump’s brain short-circuits again as he claims to have invented the word “equalize,” forgets to sign his own executive order, and pushes imaginary car factories

    — Trump melts down when asked whether he’ll keep the $400 million luxury jet gifted to him by Qatar — and the answer is obviously yes

    -- On the Bonus Show: Why Americans aren’t taking the manufacturing jobs that already exist, Trump signs a drug order that might do nothing, and Hasan Piker is detained by CBP, much more...

    — Fox News tries to sell Trump’s fake China “deal” with glowing chyrons… until their own guest says there’s no deal at all

    — Trump is gifted a 400 million dollar golden jet by Qatar while in office — and yes, he gets to keep it

    — Trump’s press secretary melts down when asked whether it’s a bribe, and claims Trump is still pushing a 10 percent tax on Americans

    — Trump is now actively exploring suspending habeas corpus, while Newark’s mayor is arrested protesting ICE the same day — full-blown fascism is here

    — Senator John Barrasso dodges questions about habeas corpus and opens the door to civil war logic: “probably won’t come to Congress”

    — Trump clearly has no idea what he’s signing in a trade photo op and asks what the document is after picking up the pen

    — Trump’s press secretary collapses under basic questions about the Library of Congress, D.E.I., and Trump’s own luxury tariff plan

    — JD Vance begins walking back Trump’s promise to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours — we’re on day 107

    -- On the Bonus Show: New poll shows Americans putting life plans on hold amid Trump-era economic anxiety, GOP escalates state attacks on trans rights, and white South Africans arrive in the U.S. under Trump’s refugee program, much more...
