December's jobs numbers are out. The weaker-than-expected report showed payrolls rose just 50,000 last month, while the jobless rate dipped to 4.4 percent — suggesting people are leaving the workforce and reinforcing the “low-hire, low-fire” labor market narrative. While today's jobs data was mixed, Republicans say relief is on the way. Ever since President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 on July 4th of last year, the party has been touting its policies and telling constituents how they stand to gain from tax cuts taking effect this year. Some of that relief includes a higher standard deduction and an expanded child tax credit. The Big Beautiful Bill also included no tax on tips, Social Security, and overtime. However, Democrats have called the legislation the “big, beautiful betrayal,” saying it only helped America's richest. FOX Business' Gerri Willis speaks with Steve Moore, the cofounder of Unlead Prosperity and a former Trump economic advisor, about what Americans expect as the policies of the Big Beautiful Bill begin to roll out.

This week on the podcast, I'm revisiting the best episodes of 2025 - reruns that are just as relevant today as when it first aired.  Here is today's best of 2025 episode…

It’s the second episode of our Summer Book Club and this time, we’re diving headfirst into Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry. So then, it was the book that promised joy, mess, meaning and maybe a mild existential spiral — did it deliver?

This episode originally aired November 17, 2025 on Patreon — we're unlocking it as a holiday treat. If there's a Trump-era topic that manages to fascinate without being entirely depressing, it's probably the ongoing arguments about architecture that his ascension has occasioned. Proponents of a RETVRN to the architectural ideals of ancient Greece and Rome are prominent in MAGA circles; partisans of a neo-classical revival populate government commissions, and their prescriptions find expression in various executive orders again. To understand who these people are, what their movement wants, and the kernel of truth in their grievances, we talked to architectural critic and proprietor of McMansion Hell Kate Wagner. We start by analyzing Trump's ballroom and the demolishing the East Wing of the White House — the perfect way into MAGA architecture and the mind of their Beautiful Builder himself, Donald J. Trump.Sources:Kate Wagner, "Duncing About Architecture," New Republic, Feb 8, 2020— "Trump Will Not Make Architecture Great Again," The Nation, Jan 7, 2025— "The Real Problem With Trump's Cheesy Neoclassical Building Fetish," Feb 12, 2025— "what the fuck are we doing anymore," The Late Review, Jan 9, 2025.— "Wrecking Ballroom," The New York Review of Architecture, Dec 17, 2025.Charlie Nash, "Trump Admits He Could've Built Ballroom Without Destroying the East Wing, But 'It Looked Like Hell,'" Mediate, Nov 10, 2025Jonathan Edwards & Dan Diamond, "Trump hires new White House ballroom architect," WaPo, Dec 4, 2025. ...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon for access to all of our bonus episodes!

Over the holidays, we're looking back at some of the best episodes of 2025. As in July, Canada's restricted dairy market was recently raised again by U.S. officials who say it stands in the way of ending disputes and settling trade deals. This summer, Brian spoke with Martha Hall Findlay about how Ottawa's refusal to liberate our globally detested supply-management system from trade negotiations continues to hurt our economic potential while causing endless headaches with major trading partners — all to benefit of a few thousand dairy-farmer millionaires. In this episode, Hall Findlay explains how this small cartel works, why it's so powerful and why it hurts not just consumers, but every other trade-exposed Canadian business.

In this episode, Toby Mathis, Esq., interviews Chris Streit, a tax incentive and cost segregation expert, about four major changes for real estate investors under Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill. Chris explains how energy tax credits like 45L (residential) and 179D (commercial) are sunsetting on June 30, 2026, offering up to $5,000 per door for qualifying new construction. They discuss the brand new Qualified Production Property (QPP) provision that allows manufacturers to expense up to 70% of facility costs with zero recapture if held for 10 years—a game-changing opportunity for production facilities. The conversation covers the return of 100% bonus depreciation for properties acquired and placed into service after January 19, 2025, and how this creates immediate tax benefits for residential and commercial real estate investors. Chris and Toby also explore how investors who purchased properties before January 19th can still benefit from 100% bonus on improvements made after that date. Tune in for expert insights on maximizing these tax strategies before key provisions expire! Chris Streit is the Chief Executive Officer of CSA Partners, a firm specializing in tax services like cost segregation, known for leading with operational excellence, customer-centricity, and driving significant growth in areas like tax incentives for real estate. He's a seasoned executive with decades of experience in finance, investment, and leadership, having previously worked at major firms like Merrill Lynch and Bridgewater Associates.

Big tax law changes always bring big rumors. But before you assume Social Security is now tax-free or that you're getting a $40K deduction just for breathing, let's set the record straight on what this new bill didn't actually do.   Helpful Information: PFG Website: https://www.pfgprivatewealth.com/ Contact: 813-286-7776 Email: info@pfgprivatewealth.com   Disclaimer: PFG Private Wealth Management, LLC is an SEC Registered Investment Advisor.

Let's get into it.   Hey everybody, welcome into Retirement Planning - Redefined with John and Nick from PFG Private Wealth. And one more time, we thought we would revisit the Big Beautiful Bill, the OBBBA conversation. I like saying OBBBA, it's just fun. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Guys, just kind of hopefully maybe dispel some of these things, continue to have questions all throughout the year as we're closing out the year we're just trying to knock down some of those worries or some of those fears that people still have. So let's set the record straight a little bit. We'll have some fun with this. You guys can be myth busters on this episode, if you will. John, what's going on my friend? How are you?   John Teixeira: Not too much. Just wondering if Nick gave my phone number to a list because all of a sudden today I'm getting bombarded with, "Do you need a driveway cleaned?" And some random stuff. So I think I'm getting punked.   Speaker 1: Oh man, it's that time of the year. It seems like spam calls have gone just through the roof for the last couple of months, so I don't know.   Nick  McDevitt: My hypothesis on that is I feel like businesses are slowing down and they're kind of going back to their-   Speaker 1: They're getting creative too.   Nick  McDevitt: Yeah, they're going back to their list client lists or different marketing tools. I feel like I've gotten re-added or added to a hundred new email lists in the last three weeks. So it's interesting.   Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a weird thing. And the text thing and the email, it's like they have so much access to you. Constantly getting stuff and of course the phones are always listening, so you just get all this weird stuff. But I'm with you, John, same thing. Would you like to sell your house?   John Teixeira: No. Nick complained about it a couple of weeks ago and I was like, "I'm not getting too much." And all of a sudden I think he's like, "Well, if I got to deal with it, John's got it too." So.   Speaker 1: Either that or your phone was listening and said, "Oh, you're not getting it? We'll get one, then. Here it goes."   John Teixeira: It could be that one too.   Speaker 1: All right, let's jump into a few myths. We'll have some fun here. Myth number one, Nick, Social Security is no longer taxed.   Nick  McDevitt: Kind of for some. So just like most things, there's nuance to it. If your income falls within the threshold of where single or married filing jointly and singles, I think the 75,000 married filing jointly is the 150, then you actually get a $6,000 tax credit to help offset taxes that you may owe on your social security income. But it's not something that line item wise is gone. So for most people, up to 85% of their social security income is includeable in their overall taxable income. So this is a way that that amount can get reduced dependent upon the overall situation.   Speaker 1: So technically no, they did not remove social security tax, but they're for certain brackets in certain age groups for a couple of years, you can definitely reap a benefit. So do that. But yeah, it didn't go away unfortunately. Myth number two, John, the new tax law means tax cuts for everybody.   John Teixeira: Unfortunately not for everybody. Like we talked about in the last episode, the senior citizen tax deduction above the age of 65 is those single will get six, joint will get 12, but that's not even for everyone above 65. Well, because if you income level's too high, you also don't qualify. So not for everybody. And then even the SALT deduction, which Nick went into last episode as well, if your state doesn't have income tax, certain situations work for you, certain situations, and everyone's a case-by-case scenario here. So not for everybody. Some people might not see any tax benefits from this, but some people might see quite a bit.   Speaker 1: Okay. All right. Nick, myth number three, the tax brackets are permanent, so I'm groovy. We're going to stay in this low tax bracket forever.   Nick  McDevitt: Yeah, it'd be nice if things work that way, but as we know when it comes to taxes or really anything involving government or legislation, we can count on there being change at some point in the future. So although if people read through documents and they see, hey, this adjustment in brackets is now permanent, that's just kind of referring back to when they were originally reduced. There was a sunset provision that it had to get renewed at a period of time in the future. And so that's what happened is it was essentially renewed and locked into place, but a new president or a new Congress can adjust that and change that in the future. And based upon debt and all that kind of stuff, were of the opinion that at a certain point in time there will definitely be some changes. And the reality is that most likely they will be higher taxes.   Speaker 1: Yeah, they changed their mind as the wind blows and what they do with it. Right? So, all right, myth number four, John, we didn't really talk about the estate tax too much on that prior episode where we talked about some things, but they actually raised it up a tick, made it a nice even number. So it's a $15 million estate tax exemption, which means estate planning doesn't much matter anymore because most people aren't going to get to that level. What's your thoughts?   John Teixeira: Yeah, so it's nice they made it a nice even number, just like when they changed the RMDH from a 70 and a half to a nice even number there. So we like simplicity here. But yeah, it doesn't mean estate tax planning doesn't matter anymore because certain states do have their own estate tax themselves. We live in Florida here.   Speaker 1: Good point.   John Teixeira: So we don't have to worry about that. But depending on the state you live in, important to understand what those estate taxes are.   Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a federal estate. Yeah, that's a great point. Yep.   John Teixeira: Yep. So that's the federal level there, 15 million. So yeah, just make sure you understand where it is. And just because the exemption went up doesn't mean you don't need estate planning because we've come across some people that definitely needed to structure their assets correctly to make sure that Uncle Sam doesn't get all of it and also it goes to the right places. So.   Speaker 1: Yeah, it's much more than just the tax is a good estate plan, so definitely you want to have the other pieces covered as well. So just because the number's high doesn't mean you don't need an estate plan. And you don't have to be a Rockefeller to need estate plan. A lot of people kind of surprised by the fact of what an estate plan can do for them. Just average everyday folks, it can still be very beneficial. So something to certainly consider.   Nick, we talked a little bit about the car loan interest on that prior one, but so I googled basically just common misconceptions about this, and that's how I'm wording these based on how some of these questions came up. So it's like, "Car loan interest is now fully deductible," and that's how with the internet and everything, that's how things get run amok. People think, "Oh, no, no, I totally saw that. Car loan interest is fully deductible. So great, I'm going to go out and buy a car and be able to write off the interest." But that's not the whole story.   Nick  McDevitt: For sure. There are definitely... So there's a cap as far as the amount that can be deducted, it's about $10,000. From a deductibility standpoint, it is a temporary thing and there are certain thresholds from the perspective of income can't exceed a hundred thousand. And then the rules about the final assembly being the US for the vehicle. So it's not a blanket something that, just like anything else when it comes to rules and laws, especially on taxes, the devil's in the details and you want to make sure you have a full understanding of what it looks like. And on top of that, the reality is that a tax deduction is not usually a reason to spend money if you don't need something. So that's kind of like the famous last words of, "Yeah, but there's a tax deduction." But also if there's a cash flow issue, then it may not make sense. So just like anything else, you want to be smart about the decision.   Speaker 1: Yeah. And I'll take this last one, John for a little bit. Myth number six, it was really around the itemizing. "I can skip itemizing and still get deductions for charity giving." And I think people confuse the itemization and QCDs. And so I think there's a little bit different disinformation there and there is some above-the-line stuff. So just hit me with that one real quick.   John Teixeira: So you can make the deductions with charitable gifting. And it's just recapping last episode, it's capped at 1,000 for single in 2,000 for couples. So you can get the standard deduction and go ahead and get these additional deductions for giving to charity without itemizing.   Speaker 1: And I think for a lot of people, especially if you're making good money, they think, "Hey, I don't need the RMDs," especially for a lot of your client base. "I got to pull this RMD. I don't want to, but I have to. The government's making me. How can I maybe be charitably inclined but also be effective from a tax standpoint?" And that's where the confusion with the QCD comes in. Because you can satisfy that RMD by doing a QCD.   John Teixeira: Yeah, these are... Yeah, thanks for clarifying.   Speaker 1: Yeah.   John Teixeira: Yeah. These are two separate things here. The QCD is its own strategy and definitely take advantage of that if you are not, it's a great way to do it. And just let's kind of recap that strategy, Although it's not part of the bill here, but what you want to do is have your... Once you're above the age of 70, you can take advantage of it and you want the check or distribution that's coming out of the retirement plan to go pre-tax, let's emphasize that pre-tax, go directly from the retirement account to the charitable institution. So it has to be check made payable to that institution. They don't need to get it directly. I have some clients that will get it mailed to their house as long as it's written out to that institution. And the example, they go to church and they feel good about actually handing the check in.   And full disclosure, when you're doing your taxes, I don't want to say all, but most financial institutions aren't basically telling the IRS what you did. When you do your taxes, you actually need to say, this is what you did. So the 1099 will kind of reflect a little bit of that, but you have to actually tell your CPA, "I did this." Because if you do not, you will not get that tax deduction.   Speaker 1: Yeah, no, for sure. And that's why I wanted to ask you that because it does get confusion around what the tax law changes were with the above line charitable deductions or gift giving and the QCDs, so there was definitely some confusion there. So thanks for clearing that up. And again, that's the whole point, right? Anytime there's legislation, it always brings confusion. So having a good strategy, a good plan, and a good team in place to help you deal with this stuff because dealing with it every day is a lot easier than us who just only see the headlines and whatnot. So if you need some help, reach out to John and Nick, get onto the calendar at PFGPrivateWealth.com, that's PFGPrivateWealth.com and schedule some time for yourself today. And with that, guys, thanks so much for hanging out. I hope everybody has a great holiday season. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast on Apple or Spotify or whatever podcasting app you enjoy.

Send in your music story!A birthday crown, a Charizard Loungefly, and a brand‑new Switch 2 set the stage for a wild ride through shiny hunts, DLC megas, and the strange magic of pacing a game you love. We get honest about Pokemon Legends ZA: the fun of guaranteed shinies, the feel of the world, and why the journey beats the postgame grind. Then the bombshells: DLC teases with Mega Chimecho, Mega Basculegion‑style reveals, Lucario Z, and a level cap blasting past 100 for the first time in 30 years. It's a shake‑up built for highlights, not homework, and we break down why that works.Life doesn't pause for play. We map out screen‑time rules for a toddler—TV as background, no iPad babysitting—and how handheld sessions fit into family evenings. The conversation spills into “What Grinds My Beans,” our running segment on everyday chaos: tapping gift cards like chips, slapping terminals instead of holding a card still, and the art of ordering without treating baristas like NPCs. It's funny because it's true, and it's useful because five seconds of patience can save everyone five minutes of hassle.Then we tackle the Black Friday saga: waking up at 4:30 AM for a hyped “first 100” Target bag only to discover tickets were quietly handed out hours earlier. What counts as a fair promotion, and what does a brand owe the people who show up in the cold? Sprinkle in some adulting—brake rotors, oil change myths, and the difference between a maintenance reminder and a warning light—and we land on a theme that ties it all together: plan well, play smart, and fight for transparency.Big news: we're launching two new shows.

The “Big Beautiful Bill” has created some concerns in the nurse anesthesia community, especially for future CRNAs who were left wondering what it means for their education, their financial reality, and the future of the profession. In this special episode of Grade 1 View, Greg Collins, DNP, CRNA and Michelle Canale, DNP, CRNA, APRN, FAANA join Olivia and Kevin to break down what the Department of Education's proposed borrowing caps really mean. They explain why the issue goes far beyond degree nomenclature, why CRNA education is so costly to deliver, and how the new limits could create barriers for students who simply cannot work during training. This latest legislation is just another reminder that advocacy for our profession is as important as ever. Current and future CRNAs need to be proactive in voicing their concerns and participating in advocacy efforts, and the AANA is there to help provide updates and actionable steps to help you stay informed and involved. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

New tax laws are on the horizon—and they could significantly influence the way you give. The recently passed One Big, Beautiful Bill Act (often shortened to the OBBBA) introduces several changes that affect charitable givers today and in the years to come. To help unpack these shifts, we sat down with Bruce McKee, attorney and Senior Vice President of Complex Gifts at the National Christian Foundation (NCF).What the OBBBA Actually DoesDespite its cheerful name, the OBBBA carries serious implications for donors. Bruce explains that the bill makes permanent many provisions that were originally scheduled to expire at the end of 2025 under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Key extensions include:Higher standard deductionsHigher estate tax exclusionsNew deduction floors for charitable giftsA new limit on itemized deductionsExtended business deductionsUpdated rules for university endowment taxesThese changes will affect different givers differently, but nearly everyone will feel the impact of the new standard deduction.The Standard Deduction Gets Bigger—AgainThis update alone affects roughly 90% of taxpayers.The OBBBA permanently extends the increased standard deduction and even boosts it for the 2025 tax year:Individuals: $15,750Married couples filing jointly: $31,500Because the standard deduction is now higher, fewer people will itemize. And when giving is lumped under the standard deduction, charitable gifts are no longer deductible.But there's a powerful workaround.If you want to maximize your tax benefits while maintaining your giving rhythms, “bunching” can help. Bunching means:Grouping several years' worth of charitable gifts into a single tax yearItemizing in that year, instead of taking the standard deductionUsing a donor-advised fund (DAF)—such as an NCF Giving Fund—to distribute gifts gradually over future yearsA giving fund works like a charitable checking account—a powerful tool for strategic, tax-efficient generosity. Bunching is especially impactful when paired with gifts of appreciated assets.New Charitable Deduction Floors Coming in 2026Beginning in 2026, charitable deductions will include a “floor”—a small portion of giving that won't be deductible at all.For IndividualsOnly the amount of charitable giving above 0.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) will be deductible. Here's an example:AGI = $200,0000.5% floor = $1,000Whether you give $20,000 or $40,000, the first $1,000 is not deductible.For CorporationsA similar rule applies, but the floor is 1% of taxable income.Why This MattersThis floor means that givers with large AGIs—especially in high-income years—should consider giving earlier, before 2026 arrives. Strategic timing will matter more than ever.Even high-capacity donors who itemize may benefit from bunching in alternating years.New Limits on Itemized DeductionsThe OBBBA also introduces a “haircut” affecting all itemized deductions—not just charitable ones.Because the highest tax bracket (37%) is now permanent, itemized deductions typically reduce income taxed at that rate. But beginning in 2026:Deductions in the highest bracket will be valued at 35 cents per dollar, not 37.It's a relatively small shift, but it slightly increases tax liability and adds another layer of planning complexity. Once again, Bruce recommends intentionally reviewing giving strategies before the 2025 year closes.Estate and Gift Tax Exclusions: Higher and More StableThe OBBBA also stabilizes estate planning by raising the estate and gift tax exemption to:$15 million per individual$30 million for married couplesThese thresholds—once set to sunset back to near half—are now permanent (as permanent as tax law can be). This gives families greater clarity as they plan inheritances and consider charitable tools like trusts or family foundations.When people settle their estate planning, it often helps them focus their hearts on where God is calling them to give—what Ron Blue usually describes as “giving while you're living so you're knowing where it's going.”Good News for Non-Itemizers: The Above-the-Line Charitable Deduction ReturnsBeginning soon, non-itemizers will be able to deduct modest charitable amounts:$1,000 for individuals$2,000 for married couples filing jointlyThis applies to cash gifts made to churches and public charities. It's a welcome incentive for households that rely on the standard deduction.Navigating Change with WisdomThe tax landscape may shift, but God's call to generosity never does. Thoughtful planning ensures you can give joyfully, efficiently, and impactfully.If you want to steward God's resources with greater intentionality, a Giving Fund through the National Christian Foundation can help you:Maximize tax benefitsSimplify your givingSupport ministries you loveInvest funds for future generosityYou can open one in just a few minutes at FaithFi.com/NCF.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband and I are turning 68 and need to move from our two-story home into a one-story house. We're considering new construction, but we'd either need a small mortgage or withdraw $50–60,000 from our 401(k). Our income is stable—he gets $3,000 from Social Security, and I make about $2,000. We manage fine month to month. Which option makes more sense?I'm 73, single, living on Social Security with excellent credit and no debt besides a small monthly charge card. I'm looking into either a HELOC or another home-equity option so I can access some of my home's value to help others before I pass away.

Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform, joins The Steve Gruber Show to break down the latest developments in federal legislation, focusing on the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” and its rapidly rolling-out benefits.

With decades of experience advocating for lower taxes and fiscal responsibility, he offers insight into what these benefits mean for Americans and how the legislation could shape the political and economic landscape in the months ahead.

This week, Angela joins the Slice Podcast to talk about the latest tax legislation and how it impacts families, business owners, and retirees. She discusses the extension of current tax rates, the SECURE Act 2.0, 529 plans, charitable giving, Roth conversions, estate tax exemptions, and Trump accounts.

On this episode of American Potential, host David From welcomes back Dean Clancy, Senior Health Policy Fellow at Americans for Prosperity, to break down the major health care wins inside the One Big Beautiful Bill passed this summer. Dean explains how the bill expands access to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), allowing millions more Americans to save tax-free for health care. Even more exciting — HSA funds can now be used for Direct Primary Care (DPC) subscriptions and telehealth, giving families easier, more affordable access to their preferred doctors without insurance gatekeeping. Dean also highlights key reforms in Medicaid and Obamacare subsidies, what's still needed to deliver true hassle-free health care, and how AFP's Personal Option campaign continues to push for more freedom and affordability in the health system. If you want to understand how the new law impacts your wallet—and why it's a major victory for health care freedom—this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Steve Gruber discusses news and headlines

If you donate money on Giving Tuesday, this could qualify you for a 2025 charitable deduction. But could the ‘big, beautiful bill’ change your Giving Tuesday tax break? Billy Hesterman, President of The Utah Taxpayers Association, weighs in. Holly shares her fun facts of the day.

On this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Patrick Fleenor, the Tax Policy Fellow for Americans for Prosperity, to break down how the One Big Beautiful Bill stopped the largest tax hike in U.S. history. Patrick explains how the bill simplifies parts of the tax code, keeps more money in the hands of families and job creators, and strengthens pro-growth policies like full expensing and R&D deductions. They also tackle common myths about who benefits from tax cuts, discuss the ongoing fight over the SALT deduction, and highlight how entitlement spending—rather than too little taxation—is driving America's long-term fiscal challenges. This episode is a clear, practical guide to understanding why the bill is such a big win for workers, small businesses, and the broader economy.

Today's episode is one of the most important conversations we've had on My DPC Story. As of July 4th, we are standing at a true inflection point for Direct Primary Care—and for every physician, employer, broker, advocate and patient who believes primary care should be personal, accessible, and free from insurance middlemen.In this special session, I'm joined by Jay Keese, Executive Director of the Direct Primary Care Coalition, who has spent more than a decade at the front lines in Washington, DC. Together, we break down what HR 1—the major tax bill signed into law this year—actually means for DPC. This includes:The historic win: HSAs are now fully compatible with Direct Primary Care for the first time ever.What patients can do starting January 1: Use tax-free HSA dollars to pay for DPC memberships without losing HSA eligibility.How this changes the landscape: New opportunities with employers, brokers, high-deductible plans, and even ACA bronze/catastrophic plans.What stays the same, what's evolving, and what rulemaking from the IRS will finalize.What's coming next: How DPC can scale responsibly and sustainably as demand accelerates.If you've ever wondered how policy actually becomes reality—or what the future of DPC looks like on a national scale—you'll want to listen closely.

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemy.If there's a Trump-era topic that manages to fascinate without being entirely depressing, it's probably the ongoing arguments about architecture that his ascension has occasioned. Proponents of a RETVRN to the architectural ideals of ancient Greece and Rome are prominent in MAGA circles; partisans of a neo-classical revival populate government commissions, and their prescriptions have found expression in several executive orders. To understand who these people are, what their movement wants, and the kernel of truth in their grievances, we talked to architectural critic and proprietor of McMansion Hell Kate Wagner. We start by analyzing Trump's ballroom and the demolishing the East Wing of the White House — the perfect way into MAGA architecture and the mind of their Beautiful Builder himself, Donald J. Trump.Sources:Kate Wagner, "Duncing About Architecture," New Republic, Feb 8, 2020— "Trump Will Not Make Architecture Great Again," The Nation, Jan 7, 2025— "The Real Problem With Trump's Cheesy Neoclassical Building Fetish," Feb 12, 2025— "what the fuck are we doing anymore," The Late Review, Jan 9, 2025.Charlie Nash, "Trump Admits He Could've Built Ballroom Without Destroying the East Wing, But 'It Looked Like Hell,'" Mediate, Nov 10, 2025

This week's episode does not ease you in — we're starting with chaos and staying there. First up: a pronunciation rant that spirals into West Indian childhood trauma, New York identity politics, and the eternal fight between what the word is and what your auntie insists on calling it.From there, we step into the mess America served us this week. The newly released Epstein files dropped like a 23,000-page bomb, and the internet has been piecing together names, messages, and eyebrow-raising connections ever since. We're also breaking down the 2025 government shutdown update, because apparently dysfunction has no off-season.And if that's not enough, social media has been doing laps around the absurd. A TikTok Live turned deadly. Strangers flew across states to treat someone else's marital drama like a courtroom fan convention. Meanwhile, Olandria continues her undefeated run as the internet's newest it-girl, selling out products, walking runways, and clearing naysayers with a smile.It's cultural commentary with seasoning. Internet madness with receipts. A little politics, a little pop culture, and a lot of “what is even happening anymore.”Get comfy, grab a snack, and press play.
