Podcasts about even worse than you think what

On this edition of Parallax Views, Pulitzer Prize winning reporter David Cay Johnston has becomes widely known for his reporting on Donald Trump. He first reported on Donald Trump in 1988 and his since written three books on the former President: The Making of Donald Trump (2016), It's Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration is Doing to America (2018), and The Big Cheat: How Donald Trump Fleeced America and Enriched Himself and His Family (2022). Before writing those books on the MAGA movement leader, however, David wrote about what he refers to as the "hidden-in-plain sight system we have that takes from the money and redistributes to the very few". Turns out, there's a connective tissue between Davide's books on Trump and his reporting on that hidden system. Namely, David says, Trump is the embodiment of that system. In this interview, David and I will delve into how his books Temples of Chance: How America Inc. Bought Out Murder Inc. to Win Control of the Casino Business (1992), Perfectly Legal: The Covert Campaign to Rig Our Tax System to Benefit the Super Rich—and Cheat Everybody Else (2003), Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense and Stick You With The Bill (2007), The Fine Print: How Big Companies Use "Plain English" to Rob You Blind (2012), and Divided: The Perils of Our Growing Inequality (2014). We'll delve into Trump's pro-corporate, anti-working class agenda; some of the specific mechanism that have been used to make massive wealth transfer to the rich at the expense of the working class and poor since Reagan; the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025; the Build the Wall charity scam; President Joe Biden, the U.S. economy, inflation, job creation, and wage increases; Trump's views on minimum wage not being pro-worker; Trump's reverse Robin Hood tax policy and tax cuts to the rich; the problem with big mainstream media today and why the legacy media outlets don't intensively cover issues effecting everyday Americans enough; the warping of the campaign finance system since the Watergate scandal; how the donor class became so powerful in the American political system; a history lesson going back to the Civil War through to the Nixon years and beyond on how we got to this moment; the Supreme Court decisions that helped shaped politics in favor of big business; the poverty found in low-tax societies and David's reporting on "hidden taxes" in Singapore; the modern world's need for investments in public infrastructure and the creation of common wealth that benefits all; issues facing the education system today and how failing literacy rates in America are ruining the American political system; China's innovations in education and what it means for America; and much, much more! This is by far the best interview of had with David Cay Johnston.

Senate Republicans used their filibuster power Friday to block the establishment of an independent commission to compile a full account of what happened when rioters stormed the US Capitol on January 6th, further solidifying the Republican party's loyalty to Donald Trump. The lack of an investigation is likely to leave unanswered questions about why so many people rallied around the former president's so called “big lie”, that he —not Biden— won't the elections, a claim Trump still maintains. Without a thorough investigation into what happened on January 6th, will Americans- and the Republican party- continue to rally around Donald Trump and his claims regarding the elections? Guests: Reed Galen- Co-founder of The Lincoln Project Saul Anuzis- Former Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party and senior adviser to United States Senator Ted Cruz during the 2016 presidential campaign David Cay Johnston- Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of "The Making of Donald Trump" and "It's Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration is Doing to America".

David Cay Johnston has been writing about and observing Donald Trump for more than thirty years. He is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter and author of the bestselling book "The Making of Donald Trump." His recent book is "It's Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration is Doing to America." Johnston explains why the Ukraine scandal should not be a surprise given Donald Trump's many years of success as a white-collar criminal – skills he learned from his father as well as mentor Roy Cohn. He also highlights how the testimony of Ambassador Sondland is key in exposing the tendrils of Trump's and the Republican Party's betrayal of America and the rule of law. David Cay Johnston also details what the articles of impeachment against Donald Trump should include and why the 2020 presidential election is so important if the American people want to protect their democracy and liberties and not be fully conquered by a fascist tyrant in the form of Donald Trump or his much more dangerous Republican successors. Chauncey DeVega explains the real reason why Donald Trump and his Republicans hate the Ukraine Scandal whistleblower and other American patriots such as Fiona Hill and Lt. Colonel Vindman. And on this week's Thanksgiving Day episode of the podcast Chauncey DeVega reflects on a life lesson he recently learned about perspective and celebrating other people's victories and life successes.
