This week: Felix Salmon left Axios. He, Emily Peck and Elizabeth Spiers discuss the opaque language and politics around parting ways with an employer and the motivation behind giving severance packages. Then, it seems the threat of AI taking over jobs is becoming real as the hosts examine the role state of AI in tech and other industries and its effect on the job market. Finally, major stablecoin issuer Circle is going public. So what is a stablecoin and why do people want them?

There's a provision tucked into the Big Beautiful Bill, among the tax cuts and Medicaid cuts, that would bar states from passing laws to regulate artificial intelligence for a decade. Plus, Meta is reshuffling its AI team again in an apparent attempt to catch up to the competition. But first, this week, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a law requiring age verification for Apple and Google app stores. It also requires parental consent for app downloads and in-app purchases by minors. But it raises some legal questions. Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino is joined by Maria Curi, tech policy reporter at Axios, to discuss all this.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Rocket Chiro Podcast, Jerry Kennedy welcomes returning guest Shaq Smith for an unstructured but incredibly relevant conversation about a cultural shift in healthcare trust—especially among Gen Z—and what that means for chiropractors moving forward. Together, they unpack a global study by Edelman shared via Axios that reveals rising distrust in the medical establishment, and how younger generations are increasingly turning to social media, family, and AI instead of doctors for healthcare advice. This episode is not about fear or doom. It's about opportunity. Jerry and Shaq discuss how chiropractors can thrive in this new environment—by becoming approachable, authentic, and collaborative. If you want to know how to build real trust in a skeptical world, this episode is for you. Topics Covered Breakdown of the Edelman Study 16,000 adults surveyed across 16 countries Trust in traditional medical advice is plummeting Gen Z (ages 18–34) showed the sharpest decline in trust People now turn to friends, family, social media, and AI tools like ChatGPT for guidance Why This Matters for Chiropractors Many chiropractors misinterpret this shift as negative Jerry argues it's actually a massive opportunity People are more open than ever to alternative care But they're also more skeptical and cautious Key Insights for Chiropractors Approachability Over Authority Don't try to act like a hospital or medical institution Be authentic, human, and real Patients are drawn to approachable, relatable personalities—especially online Be a Trusted Peer, Not Just a Provider The age of “the man in the white coat” is fading Trust is built through transparency, consistency, and care Shaq shares real-world examples from social media and ad performance Collaborative Decision-Making is Crucial Chiropractic is a participation sport Patients don't want to be told what to do—they want to be heard Jerry shares the idea of “unburdening yourself” from outcomes, while still leading responsibly Office Design, Language, and Branding Your tone, attire, and environment matter more than ever Don't fake it. Be yourself—but be your best self Your online persona should match the in-office experience Retention Through Relationship True retention isn't just about visit numbers It's about maintaining a long-term doctor-patient relationship “If they're going to see a chiropractor five times in the next 20 years—make sure it's you.” Practical Takeaways Be visible and real online—smile in your photos, show personality in your videos Ditch manipulative sales tactics—people will bolt if they sense even a whiff of deception Use AI tools to enhance patient understanding, not replace your role Build trust over time—especially with younger patients who are used to doing their own research Engage in local Facebook groups or community platforms to stay involved without relying solely on ads About the Guest Shaq Smith is a marketing and social media strategist who specializes in helping chiropractors create content and ads that convert. Known for his sharp insights and practical advice, Shaq brings a younger generational perspective to the conversation—especially relevant for understanding Gen Z patient behavior. Final Thoughts This episode challenges chiropractors to stop chasing mainstream status and start leaning into what makes them different. Trust isn't dead—it's just shifting. And chiropractors who embrace approachability, authenticity, and patient participation will thrive in this new era. Want Help Growing Your Practice?

In 2023 and 2024, there were many things that were unsayable. Perhaps the most unsayable—at least in legacy media circles—was that the President of the United States was not capable of being president, because he was no longer mentally fit. Those people who did break the taboo—who dared to notice Biden's countless gaffes, his stiff gait, those who recognized the reality of old age, including Special Counsel Robert Hur—were written off or smeared. Videos of the president—clips of Biden tripping or misspeaking—were rebranded by The New York Times as “cheap fakes.” People were told to disbelieve their eyes and ears. It's now the spring of 2025. Trump is the president. Biden dropped out. And now the unsayable things are being said—most dramatically in Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's new book, Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. Tapper, of CNN, and Thompson, of Axios, interviewed more than 200 people for this book, which illuminates Biden's mental decline, his enablers, and how the country was effectively run by committee in the midst of his clear cognitive impairment. For those of us who thought it was bad—it was actually much worse than anyone could have imagined. Alex and Jake have chosen to call the effort to hide Biden's decline a “cover-up.” Those are choice words from two mainstream media insiders, invoking memories of Watergate and Iran-Contra. And the cover-up they are referring to is that of the Biden family and the close circle of advisers around them, many of whom are still delusional about Biden's state. But cover-up might be the word that many Americans would use to describe the press's coverage of Biden. How did ordinary people see more than people with White House press passes? And, what does it all say about human nature, transparency, and groupthink? This is a really illuminating conversation about presidential power, the lengths some will go to keep it, and how the media failed to report the story of a lifetime.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, rouge federal district judges are issuing nationwide injunctions against President Trump's voter-supported policies. These judges overstep their constitutional authority, seizing power from elected branches by imposing policy preferences disguised as legal rulings, particularly on immigration and executive actions. The one big beautiful bill passed by the House would limit judges' ability to enforce contempt citations and would require plaintiffs to post financial bonds for injunctions. Afterward, the Trump administration's Middle East trip was a globalist foreign policy, which involved active engagement with other nations. Interventionism is different from globalism; they do overlap but aren't identical. Interventionism is negotiating peace between Ukraine and Russia or engaging with Iran. Also, who is the senior Trump administration official who keeps leaking to Axios and driving an intentional wedge between America and Israel? They're undermining Trump and the purported purpose of the negotiations with Iran. NSC, DOJ, and the FBI need to open up a leak investigation. Later, Trump's actions against Harvard are patriotic and long overdue. Harvard and similar institutions promote Marxism and Islamism, discriminating against Asian students (as ruled by the Supreme Court), and historically providing cover for Nazis in the 1930s. Cutting federal and state subsidies and urging major donors to reconsider support is the way to address these issues. In addition, Gov Ron DeSantis calls in to discuss Convention of States movement. He explained that Congress's failures, driven by politicians' reelection incentives, require structural changes like term limits and a balanced budget requirement. DeSantis dismissed fears of a runaway convention, noting that amendments need three-fourths of states to ratify, ensuring only popular reforms pass. DeSantis also explains that cutting a deal with Iran is dangerous. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- Bill D'Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown some of the best (and worst) clips from corporate media: Axios's Alex Thompson says the media needs to investigate Donald Trump's health + former FBI Director James Comey claims the Republican Party is “white supremacist adjacent.” 4:30pm- Rich was on Fox News earlier today (did he happen to mention that?) and debuted his new Tom Ford tie which he got on a (heavy) discount—but should he have purchased a “dogs playing poker” tie instead? PLUS, who was the best dressed president? Evidently it was Chester Arthur—who was so well-dressed that it annoyed Americans.

And I don't like it at all!”
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/27/2025): 3:05pm- In a series of articles published over the weekend, The New York Times examined the Democrat Party's continued struggles appealing to the American electorate. Shane Goldmacher writes that Democrats “are still searching for the path forward”—noting that the party spent $20 million studying their “erosion” of support with “young men” specifically. In another article, Goldmacher—alongside June Kim and Christine Zhang—evaluate “how Donald Trump has remade America's political landscape.” They document that 435 counties across the country became more “Democratic” from 2012 and 2024—however, 2,678 counties became more “Republican.” Further complicating matters is the 2030 census which is expected to cause comfortably blue states to lose electoral votes as citizens move to red states. You can read the articles here: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/us/politics/democratic-party-voters.html. And here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/05/25/us/politics/trump-politics-democrats.html. 3:40pm- During a recent segment of Pod Save America, former Obama Advisor Dan Pfeiffer stated that Democrats are in “a huge bit of trouble” if they can't win Latino voters moving forward—and if Latinos continue to migrate towards the Republican Party (as is currently the trend), there is “no path” to victory in future presidential elections. 4:05pm- Bill D'Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown some of the best (and worst) clips from corporate media: Axios's Alex Thompson says the media needs to investigate Donald Trump's health + former FBI Director James Comey claims the Republican Party is “white supremacist adjacent.” 4:30pm- Rich was on Fox News earlier today (did he happen to mention that?) and debuted his new Tom Ford tie which he got on a (heavy) discount—but should he have purchased a “dogs playing poker” tie instead?

The Trump Administration has called on the Ivy League university to prioritize the education of American students, eliminate anti-Semitism on campus, and hire faculty representing a diverse ideology. According to a 2023 Harvard Crimson poll, only 2.5% of Harvard's faculty openly identified as “conservative—with 77% labeling themselves as “liberal” or “very liberal.” 5:50pm- Clips of the Day: Washington D.C.

In this bombshell episode, the hosts uncover explosive claims that Hunter Biden wasn't just a bystander — he was a key player in the so-called “Politburo” allegedly running the White House. Drawing from recent reports by the New York Post and Axios, they name the five central figures said to wield real power — including Hunter and First Lady Jill Biden — amid growing concerns over Joe Biden's mental decline. The segment also dives into shocking revelations from newly unredacted FBI texts showing agents knew Hunter's laptop was part of a criminal money laundering case — even as they urged social media platforms to censor the story in 2020. With ties to China, Russia, and Ukraine in play, the episode raises alarming questions about corruption, censorship, and national security. Buckle up — this is just the beginning.

WHO RAN the US government during the Biden administration? Because it wasn't Joe Biden. The new book Original Sin by alleged journalists Jake Tapper of CNN and Alex Thompson of Axios documents the efforts of White House staff and the Biden family to hide the former president's cognitive impairment during his presidency. This scandal is far worse than Watergate. The question in our minds is this: How did this book get to market so quickly? The timeline of the writing, editing, and printing process means the interviews with insiders must have been conducted last year, while Joe Biden was still president. So, why didn't these so-called journalists report on Biden's dementia then instead of mocking those who questioned his fitness for office as right-wing conspiracy theorists? And is this book the Democratic Party's deep state taking its revenge on the Biden family for costing them the presidential election? Also: Damning evidence of a COVID coverup; incompetence put lives at risk during last week's deadly tornado in St. Louis; and the intifada comes to Washington, DC.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveWe live in an increasingly weird world, where the weirdness is facilitated and accelerated by the Internet. We live in a world full of instantly-available bizarre pornography and terrorist attacks inspired by misanthropic ideologies whose manifestos are published online. Katherine Dee, an Internet ethnographer, writer and friend of Wisdom of Crowds, joins Christine Emba and Shadi Hamid to talk about the recent terrorist attack on an IVF clinic in California and Christine's recent New York Times article about the social damage wrought by porn.Shadi shakes things up by posing a blunt question at the very beginning: Should we ban porn? It hurts men as well as women. Why not? Can we reconcile the ideals of liberalism with a state effort to suppress pornographic content? This question inspires Christine and Katherine to reflect about the ethics of sex work, the perils of reporting on dangerous and soul-crushing topics, as well as signs of hope in American culture.Throughout, Katherine applies her trusty reporter's eye toward making an accurate, non-judgmental and perceptive account of what's really going on with sex and ideology on the Internet. Christine, for her part, makes the case of norms and shame as useful tools for making society better. Shadi, in Socratic fashion, tests the strength of his interlocutors' arguments.In the bonus section for paid subscribers, Katherine explains the nuances of “efilism” and “promortalism”; Shadi reflects on the meaning of suffering and how belief in God changes one's approach to suffering; and Christine reflects on “cold, rational logical measure — suffering v. pleasure. Pleasure v. nothing.”Required Reading and Listening:* Christine Emba, “The Delusion of Porn's Harmlessness” (New York Times). * Katherine Dee, “An Efilist Just Bombed a Fertility Clinic.

Mediaite editor Aidan McLaughlin speaks with CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios' Alex Thompson about their new book, Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. They discuss media coverage of the former president's diminishing capabilities, the lengths to which his staff went to preserve Biden's public image, and the promotion of their book despite networks like Fox News refusing to have them on-air. Aidan also talks with Mediaite founding editor Colby Hall about MAGA outrage at Trump's own FBI.
John is joined by CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios's Alex Thompson to discuss their scoop-filled, headline-spawning, controversy-stirring new book, "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again." Jake and Alex explain the nature and central players in the concealment of the decline in President Biden's mental acuity during his time in the White House; how the lack of transparency about his health and cognitive fitness before leaving office have lent credence to the profusion of conspiracy theories following the disclosure this week of his prostate cancer diagnosis; and the impotence of a Democratic Party convinced that the stakes of the 2024 election were existential and yet unable to acknowledge Biden's age-related political liabilities before it was too late. The authors also address some of the controversies that have arisen surrounding the book and their reporting methods in the wake of its publication.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1051: We're diving into the Senate's move to block California's gas car ban, Google's new video AI that adds audio, and which brands — including top automakers — gained or lost consumer trust in the 2025 Axios/Harris reputation rankings.Show Notes with links:In a dramatic legislative twist, the U.S. Senate voted to block California's plan to ban gas-powered vehicles by 2035, undercutting a key Biden-era environmental policy and dealing a blow to a major state-led push for zero-emission standards.The Senate vote was 51-44 to rescind the EPA waiver allowing California stricter emissions rules.11 states following California's policy would be impacted, including NY and WA.Auto dealers and manufacturers lobbied hard for the repeal, citing feasibility concerns.The move defies Senate precedent and a legal ruling from the parliamentarian.“You can be against the ACC II EV mandates (we were) and believe that transportation is trending toward a range of electrified products like battery electric vehicles, hybrids and plug-in hybrids (it is). That's what balance looks like. And balance is not only good for consumers, but essential for the U.S. auto industry to remain healthy and globally competitive,” said John Bozzella, CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation.Axios and The Harris Poll just dropped their annual brand reputation rankings, and the message from consumers is loud and clear: keep prices fair, quality high, and don't exploit inflation. Brands that did well stuck to those basics.Nearly half of all corporate reputations declined this year, driven by frustration over high prices and perceived drops in quality.77% of Americans say companies are charging more for lower quality; 63% have stopped buying from a brand due to high costs, and 54% over declining product standards.The biggest winners? Companies focused on delivering consistent value.Top 10 most reputable brands: Trader Joe's, Patagonia, Microsoft, Toyota Motor Corporation, Costco, Samsung, Arizona Beverage Company, Nvidia, UPS, AppleAutomotive brands on the list: Toyota (#4, up 8), Honda (#13, down 6), General Motors (#44, down 4), Hyundai (#51, no change), Volkswagen (#53, up 16), Ford (#60, down 5), Tesla (#95, down 32 in the largest move of any company on the list).At its I/O 2025 developer conference, Google unveiled Veo 3 — the latest version of its AI video generator, now with the ability to create synchronized sound. That includes background noise, effects, and even simple dialogue to match the video it produces.The new model builds on Veo 2 with better visuals and now audio that aligns automatically with what's on screen.Google says it's the first step away from “silent” AI-generated video — a space that's getting crowded with startups and big names like OpenAI and AlibabJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” which is critical of the Biden Administration for covering up the president's physical and cognitive decline, was released earlier this week. While Tapper is now reporting on internal stories about Biden's health decline, why did he—and the rest of the mainstream media—largely ignore the story prior to Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election? While speaking with journalist Tara Palmeri, DC insider Sally Quinn accused former First Lady Jill Biden of “elderly abuse” for allowing her husband to initially run for re-election in 2024. 3:30pm- While appearing on Fox News, Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) discussed his recent request for the Department of Justice to investigate Joe Biden's cognitive and physical decline while serving as president. 3:40pm- While on NewsNation, Axios reporter and Original Sin co-author Alex Thompson said that Biden Administration officials were shocked that the mainstream media was unwilling to investigate Joe Biden's cognitive and physical decline—instead, constantly taking the White House's word without any critical examination. 3:50pm- To absolutely no one's surprise, Matt has never seen the classic film Spaceballs. Plus, the debate over brioche buns rages on!

Plus, the debate over brioche buns rages on! 4:05pm- On Thursday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released its Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) commission report investigating chronic illness—determining that the health of children nationwide has been negatively impacted by ultra-processed foods, chemical exposures, the over prescription of pharmaceutical drugs, and a lack of emphasis on exercise. From the White House, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Donald Trump announced the results of the report and spoke to the press. Kennedy explained: “never in American history has the federal government taken a position on public health like this”—noting that it had been an ambition of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, before he was killed. 4:45pm- During Thursday's White House briefing, reporter Peter Doocy asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt if unelected Biden Administration staffers concealed the former president's decline so that they could use the levers of power for their own personal gain. 5:05pm- Jennifer Galardi—Senior Policy Analyst for Restoring American Wellness in The Heritage Foundation's DeVos Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to assess the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) newly released Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission report investigating chronic illness.

In a post to X, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that the shooting will be investigated as an “act of terror.” 5:45pm- Steve Hilton—GOP Candidate for Governor of California, former Senior Advisor to the U.K. Prime Minister, and a former Fox News Host—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his campaign and his potential gubernatorial opponent Kamala Harris's role in covering up Joe Biden's physical and mental decline. Hilton argues that as Vice President, Harris was as responsible as anyone for lying to the American people—demonstrating her failure as a leader and disqualifying her from any future office.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/19/2025): 3:05pm- In a statement on Sunday, former President Joe Biden's office announced that he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer with metastasis to the bone. In response to the news, President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social: “Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.” 3:15pm- While appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel—an oncologist and bioethicist at the University of Pennsylvania—said that “there is no disagreement” within the medical community, Joe Biden had cancer while he was president of the United States even if he was only diagnosed last Friday. 3:20pm- Jake Tapper's new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” which is critical of the Biden Administration for covering up the president's physical and cognitive decline is due to be released later this week—but many Democrats and mainstream media members, including David Axelrod and Brian Steltzer, are saying the conversation regarding the “cover-up” should be paused given Biden's cancer diagnosis. 3:30pm- On Monday, President Donald Trump signed the “Take It Down Act”—a bill designed to halt the disturbing rise of revenge porn and deep fake imagery. 3:40pm- Ukraine-Russia Peace Negotiations: In a post to Truth Social, President Trump wrote: “Just completed my two-hour call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. I believe it went very well. Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War. The conditions for that will be negotiated between the two parties, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of. The tone and spirit of the conversation were excellent. If it wasn't, I would say so now, rather than later. Russia wants to do large scale TRADE with the United States when this catastrophic ‘bloodbath' is over, and I agree. There is a tremendous opportunity for Russia to create massive amounts of jobs and wealth.” 3:45pm- On Friday, audio of former President Joe Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur was published by Axios. The audio, from interviews that took place in October 2023, was supposed to determine whether Biden's mishandling of classified documents was criminal. In his final report, Hur decided not to charge Biden with a crime, reasoning: “We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” 4:05pm- Bill D'Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown some of the best (and worst) clips from corporate media including David Axelrod imploring the media to pause all conversations about the Biden Administration's health “cover-up” given the former president's recent cancer diagnosis. 4:40pm- While appearing on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino explained they have reviewed all evidence and concluded that Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 death was, as originally reported, a suicide. During the interview, Bongino also revealed that there is no evidence suggesting a larger conspiracy surrounding the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in Butler, PA. 5:00pm- At a press conference from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump awarded the Medal of Sacrifice—honoring law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty and their families. President Trump was joined by Congressmen Byron Donalds and Brian Mast. 5:15pm- On Sunday night, the House Budget Committee successfully advanced a Republican tax and spending bill through the committee vote—with the final vote being 17-16 in favor.

Original Sin recounts a number of moments during which former President Joe Biden allegedly struggled to recognize the people around him, like close aide Mike Donilon or longtime donor George Clooney. The new book by CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios' Alex Thompson argues that there were two versions of the former president, one "functioning" and one "non-functioning." Biden's inner circle, they say, worked to shield the "non-functioning" version from the American public – and even other White House officials. In today's episode, Tapper and Thompson talk with NPR's Scott Detrow about the book and the Biden team's decision to "cover-up" his alleged mental decline.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

WalMart says it's raising prices because of Trump's tariffs (even though 75% of WalMart merchandise is made in the USA) and CNN dusts off Brian Stelter to sell the tall tale that "it just so happens" Joe Biden got diagnosed with aggressive cancer HOURS after Axios released the damning audio from the Hur sit-down.

We spend a good amount of time going through the released audio of Special Counsel Robert Hur's interview with President Joe Biden, which was recorded in the fall of 2023. We ask how Axios got tha audio? Also, why the sudden push by the press to throw Joe Biden under the bus? We discuss some possibilities around that as well. A caller also reminds us of the really dumb online post by former FBI Director James Comey, who wants to pretend he didn't know what it meant to ask someone to "86" the current president of the United States of America. But, if he tries to lie under oath, he will likely be caught perjuring himself, in which case he will go to jail. And, if he admits he was putting out a call for an assassination, then he is going to jail. Either way, he is in a bit of a pickle. Back to Biden's utter incompetence, we hear from Rep. James Comer (R-KY) with an ongoing House Oversight Committee investigation into who used the Autopen to sign off on bills, Executive Orders and pardons? This leads Comer to want to depose senior staff and cabinet officials to ask who was really running the country? During the Vulcan Mind-meld, fellow broadcaster BK, from BK on the Air, joins me to discuss some of the influenses in our lives. We then discuss how we didn't list bands or music influences, but will likely have that discussion as a homework assignment for next week.

In a week marked by global headlines and domestic political upheaval, Axios and Politico report rare praise from Biden officials and senior Democrats for Donald Trump's bold, fast-moving foreign policy moves. From AI chip diplomacy with Saudi Arabia to high-stakes negotiations in the Middle East, Trump is garnering unexpected respect—even from across the aisle. Meanwhile, Democrats are embroiled in chaos at home, defending ICE facility raids and activist judges aiding criminal fugitives. With European media lauding Trump's tariff strategy and America's trade rebalancing, the contrast between presidential leadership and partisan dysfunction has never been more stark.

This week is mainly devoted to listener questions and feedback. First, Ralph answers some of the questions you have submitted over the past few weeks. Then we invite back last week's guest, Erica Payne, of Patriotic Millionaires, to respond to your very thoughtful comments on the interview we did with that group's plan for preserving democracy by taxing the rich. Plus, Ralph highlights the outrages of the Trump/Musk assault on government programs that help ordinary people.Erica Payne is the founder and president of Patriotic Millionaires, an organization of high-net-worth individuals that aims to restructure America's political economy to suit the needs of all Americans. Their work includes advocating for a highly progressive tax system, a livable minimum wage, and equal political representation for all citizens. She is the co-author, with Morris Pearl, of Tax the Rich: How Lies, Loopholes and Lobbyists Make the Rich Even Richer.The real reason for taxation is democracy protection.Erica PayneI think the question is not: do we need to fix the estate tax? The question is: what is the best, most defensible mechanism through which you can tax the transfer of wealth from one generation to the other in order to protect American democracy from dynastic wealth—that is sufficient that you find five generations from now Elon Musk's kid isn't spending as much money on these elections as their great great great great great granddaddy is.Erica PayneAusterity applied at a federal level to a society that is in distress does the exact opposite of what the proponents of austerity are saying it should do. The tightening of the belt actually cuts off the circulation of the society.Erica PayneNews 5/9/251. While the Catholic clergy convene in Rome for the Papal Conclave, Pope Francis graces the world with one final gift. Vatican News reports, “His popemobile, the very vehicle from which he waved and was close to millions of faithful all around the world, is being transformed into a mobile health unit for the children of Gaza.” This article states this was Francis' “final wish,” and quotes his refrain that “Children are not numbers. They are faces. Names. Stories. And each one is sacred.” The vehicle is reportedly being outfitted with equipment for “diagnosis, examination, and treatment – including rapid tests for infections, diagnostic instruments, vaccines, suture kits, and other life-saving supplies,” and it will be staffed by doctors and medics. Yet, given Israel's track record for the destruction of medical facilities in Gaza, it is unclear how long this mobile health unit itself will survive.2. In more distressing news from Gaza, CNN reports that “A Gaza-bound activist aid ship [part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition] caught fire and issued an SOS, after what its organizers claimed was an Israeli drone attack off the coast of Malta…[on] Friday.” Per CNN, the ship was due to make port in Malta and pick up “a large contingent of activists” there before departing for Gaza. These included environmental activist Greta Thunberg and retired US Army Colonel Mary Ann Wright. Thunberg said this flotilla “is one of many attempts to open up a humanitarian corridor and…[try] to break Israel's illegal siege on Gaza,” adding “for two months now, not a single bottle of water has entered Gaza…it's a systematic starvation of 2 million people.” The United Nations World Food Programme said this week “its warehouses are…empty; soup kitchens that are still running are severely rationing their last stocks; and what little food remains in Gaza's markets is being sold for exorbitant prices that most cannot afford.”3. Pro-Palestine activists scored a major victory in Michigan this week. The Guardian reports, “Michigan's attorney general, Dana Nessel, announced on Monday that she was dropping all charges against seven pro-[Palestine] demonstrators arrested last May at a University of Michigan encampment.” As this report notes, “The announcement came just moments before the judge was to decide on a defense motion to disqualify Nessel's office over alleged bias.” The Guardian itself published a major report “detailing Nessel's extensive personal, financial and political connections to university regents calling for the activists to be prosecuted,” last October. Defense attorney Amir Makled is quoted saying “This was a case of selective prosecution…rooted in bias, not in public safety issues…We're hoping this sends a message to other institutions locally and nationally that protest is not a crime, and dissent is not disorder.”4. In another legal victory, Prem Thakker reported on May 6th that “A federal court has [denied] the Trump administration's attempt to move Mahmoud Khalil's case…out of New Jersey.” The government attempted to move the venue to Louisiana, where they have Khalil detained. A press release by the ACLU, their New York and New Jersey affiliates, and the Center for Constitutional Rights states, “It is the fundamental job of the judiciary to stand up to…government manipulation of our basic rights. We hope the court's order sends a strong message to other courts around the country facing government attempts to shop for favorable jurisdictions by moving people detained on unconstitutional immigration charges around and making it difficult or impossible for their lawyers to know where to seek their immediate release.”5. Trump has released his budget for Fiscal Year 2026. This budget cuts nondefense spending by 23%, per Reuters, while allocating 75% of discretionary spending to military and police, per Stephen Semler of the Cost of War Project. This includes a 13% increase in military spending that tips the Pentagon budget over $1 trillion for the first time. So much for increasing government efficiency.6. At the same time, this country's infrastructure and transportation safety agencies continue to crumble. Just this week, NPR reported “Hundreds of flight delays and cancellations…[hit]… Newark Liberty International Airport at once: [due to] air traffic controller staffing shortages, aging technology, bad weather and the closure of one of the airport's busiest runways.” The air traffic controller staffing shortages, a chronic issue, has been compounded in recent months by the mass layoffs initiated by the Trump administration. NBC News reports that one air traffic controller handling Newark airspace said, “Don't fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs.”7. It might be nice to have competent, energetic leadership among the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee right about now. Unfortunately, the party opted to install 75-year-old, cancer-ridden Gerry Connolly to serve as Ranking Member on that committee instead of AOC. Now, Axios reports Connolly is stepping down from this position after just four months and will not seek reelection to his seat in Congress, citing his declining health. AOC, once-bitten, has opted not to seek the position a second time, the Hill reports. Instead, the top contenders emerging to fill Conolly's seat are Stephen Lynch, a 70-year-old Congressman who won his seat in 2001 and is currently filling Conolly's role on an interim basis, and Eleanor Holmes-Norton, the non-voting delegate representing Washington D.C. Norton is the most senior Democrat on the committee at 87-years-old, having assumed office in 1991.8. Another ghost is coming back to haunt the Democrats: former Senator Bob Menendez. The New Jersey Globe reports, “The New Jersey Attorney General's office will seek a court order to permanently bar…Menendez from ever holding public employment in the state following his conviction on federal corruption charges last year.” Critically if a Superior Court judge approves the action, Menendez could lose his state pension. Menendez still draws over $1,000 per month from his New Jersey public employee pension, even after being sentenced to 11 years in prison for corruption last July. More recently, Menendez has sought to cozy up to Trump in an effort to obtain a pardon. So far, no dice.9. In some positive news, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum continues an unbelievable run. Back in April, KJZZ reported that Mexico will invest nearly $3 billion in “food sovereignty,” to “produce more staples like corn, beans and rice in Mexico over the next five years.” This money will be directed at small and medium sized farms in Mexico and is intended to anchor both the rural economy and the nation's food supply amidst the growing uncertainty of trade with the United States vis a vis Trump's erratic trade policy. Then, after May Day, Labor Minister Marath Bolaños said that “before the end of President Claudia Sheinbaum's term…the government would gradually install a…40-hour workweek,” Mexico News Daily reports. The standard workweek in Mexico currently sits at 48 hours. As this report notes, the 40-hour workweek is Number 60 on Sheinbaum's list of 100 promises. Americans can only dream of having a government that even makes that many promises, let alone keeps them. Perhaps the most impressive of Sheinbaum's recent actions however is her recent rejection of Trump's attempt to strongarm her into allowing American troops to enter Mexico. Democracy Now! reports Sheinbaum told the American president, “The territory is sacrosanct. Sovereignty is sacrosanct. Sovereignty is not for sale.”10. Finally, on the other end of the presidential spectrum, there's Trump furiously posting on Truth Social about the “Movie Industry in America…DYING a very fast death,” deeming that this is “a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat,” and threatening a “100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands.” Obviously, this screed is basically nonsensical and it remains to be seen what will actually come of this threat, but what is notable is the response from organized labor. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) issued a statement threading the needle between supporting Trump's effort to “return and maintain U.S. film and television jobs, while not…harming the industry overall.” On the other hand, the Teamsters – led by Sean O'Brien who has tied himself to Trump more and more since he spoke at the 2024 RNC – issued a statement “thank[ing] President Trump for boldly supporting good union jobs when others have turned their heads.” Would such a policy truly revitalize the workforce of the American entertainment industry? We'll have to wait for the sequel to find out.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe
