To hear more, visit www.politix.fmDonald Trump is accelerating America's transformation into a banana republic, most recently by instigating a trade war against Canada and compromising the integrity of U.S. economic statistical agencies. In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss: * Why Donald Trump keeps doing the same kind of stupid shit over and over again;* What Congress (maybe the next Congress?) could do to stop him;* The extent to which this is driven by corruption vs. Trump's own personality disorders.Then, are Trump's power rivals letting him off the hook too easily? Why are Democrats supporting protectionism for cattle ranchers rather than attacking Trump's cronyism or attacking his broader protectionist regime? Why are civil servants silent as he calls the reliability of official U.S. economic and demographic indicators into question? Why is the Supreme Court letting him impose illegal policy for months or years at a time? And what would it take to correct all of these failures?Answers are available in full to listeners and viewers on YouTube.

John Haar, back for his first Café appearance since leaving Swan for Blockware, opens on the 55th anniversary of the Nixon Shock. His argument: gold's own physical properties, the time, trust, and armed transport required to settle in it, are what let the 1971 dollar-gold break happen and stick. No one could credibly refuse. Asked whether the US might literally "back" the dollar with Bitcoin, John pushes back on the framing. He doesn't see explicit convertibility returning; more likely a sovereign-wealth-fund-style holding that supports confidence in the currency without any fixed exchange rate. Confiscation history, and 1971 counted as one. Executive Order 6102 in 1933, a little-known 1959 Australian law forcing gold surrender to the Reserve Bank, and a 1966 UK law capping residents at four gold coins. John's read: severing convertibility was itself an indirect seizure, since dollar holders lost access to the metal without a single coin being confiscated. The confiscation trade-off, stated plainly: Bitcoin can vanish in an instant through a mistake; fiat vanishes slowly through inflation. John argues neither risk profile is fully solved, which is why he expects Bitcoin and fiat to coexist for a long time, and why he points listeners toward collaborative multisig self-custody (Vault, Unchained, Casa) over solo cold storage. The debt numbers, from three directions at once. US debt crossed $40 trillion this week; annual interest has passed defense spending and sits behind only Medicare and Social Security. Suze: UK debt interest is running around £109 billion a year, more than the entire education and defence budgets combined, about £3,220 per working person. Roxana adds a year-by-year US/UK comparison back to 2021, the pandemic as the shock that reset the baseline. ⭐ A genuinely sharp MMT critique from John, anchored to a receipt: Larry Summers, a mainstream economist with no sound-money priors, posted in 2022 that 2022's CPI would have peaked near 18% under the old inflation methodology instead of the reported 9%. John's broader point: Modern Monetary Theory's post-2008 "QE doesn't cause inflation" claim was really about QE backfilling a contracting money supply, and MMTers overextended that into a general rule that collapsed against 2022's numbers. Frank Corva's field report from a 2023 screening of the MMT documentary "Finding the Money": a viral clip of establishment economist Jared Bernstein fumbling a question on how money is created was cut by MMT advocates to claim the mainstream doesn't understand money either, while, per Frank, the film's own thesis pushes further left than the Keynesian it mocks. His two go-to informed politicians on this material: Nick Begich (introduced the Bitcoin Act) and Warren Davidson. Frank's number of the day: minimum wage measured in gold. Federal minimum wage has gone from $1.60/hour in July 1971 to today's rate; priced in gold instead of dollars, that 1971 wage would be roughly $198/hour, about $8,000 a week now. Cory joins from Istanbul to argue the dollar remains "the cleanest shirt in the dirty laundry" globally, that gold has again overtaken Treasuries as the top central-bank reserve asset, and that today's AI capex bubble likely resolves in a Bitcoin-negative risk-off phase before capital rotates back in, on a multi-year timeline. ⭐ Mining block: John lays out five reasons Bitcoin's 2021-2025 hashrate growth won't repeat, tied throughout to the AI buildout competing for the same capital, chips, and power contracts: the unrepeatable 2021 mining economics, public miners pivoting to AI/HPC data centers, slowing ASIC development as chipmakers prioritize AI silicon, AI's ability to lock long-duration power contracts miners can't match, and the sheer physical scale needed to double an already-large network. At current ~920 exahash, he estimates a nation-state attack would require roughly 2 million frontier ASICs and $10 billion in capex, still a high bar.

On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck sits down with Jared Bernstein — veteran economic adviser to both the Obama and Clinton administrations — for a sweeping, candid breakdown of the American economy, why the data and national mood feel so misaligned, and how technological change is reshaping the labor market. Bernstein explains how the White House approached economic tradeoffs, from inflation and tariffs to the stubborn low-hire, low-fire job market. He and Chuck dig into the uncertainty surrounding AI-driven job displacement, why Americans are more skeptical of AI than peers abroad, and how policymakers failed to build guardrails around the harms of social media. Bernstein argues that a federal jobs guarantee would be far more effective than universal basic income, and that political candidates will increasingly need to get tough on tech as the power of the “Magnificent Seven” distorts markets and discourages regulation. The conversation then turns to the structural failures of America’s healthcare system — from inelastic demand to weak cost controls — and why “Medicare for more” could be a practical starting point for reform. Bernstein outlines the entrenched inefficiencies of employer-based coverage, the rise of contract work, and the political salience but poor targeting of policies like “no tax on tips.” He also discusses the missed opportunity to protect the expanded child tax credit, the flaws in Trump’s proposed baby bond program, and the broader need for progressive taxation rather than philanthropy by billionaires. Finally, Chuck and Jared confront the realities of the national debt in an era of higher interest rates, the feasibility of reviving a robust child tax credit, and whether new supports — like credits for childcare or elder care — could help families navigate an affordability crisis that shows no sign of easing.

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck examines the sweeping global and domestic implications of Trump’s increasingly personal, transactional approach to foreign policy. He breaks down how the administration has abandoned the post–Cold War order, embraced nationalist movements, sidelined democracy promotion, and even signaled security guarantees in exchange for favors — all while crafting a national security strategy full of dangerous gaps and warmly received by the Kremlin. Chuck then turns to the explosive revelations around Trump’s pattern of selling pardons for loyalty, spotlighting the Henry Cuellar episode as a case study in this mob-style political culture. The conversation also touches on Marjorie Taylor Greene’s recent media tirades and her emerging position as a potential “true MAGA” contender in 2028, before wrapping with a look at the historically low approval of all four congressional leaders and why a dramatic leadership reshuffling by 2029 wouldn’t be surprising. Then, Chuck sits down with Jared Bernstein — veteran economic adviser to both the Obama and Clinton administrations — for a sweeping, candid breakdown of the American economy, why the data and national mood feel so misaligned, and how technological change is reshaping the labor market. Bernstein explains how the White House approached economic tradeoffs, from inflation and tariffs to the stubborn low-hire, low-fire job market.

3. Supply vs. Demand: Economic Shocks, Entitlements, and the Invisible Population Nicholas Eberstadt Book: Men Without Work (Post-Pandemic Edition) Eberstadt explores the competing explanations for the ghost army, contrasting his supply-side argument (men holding back labor/unpreparedness) with demand-side views from critics Henry Olsen and Jared Bernstein. Olsen highlights the role of economic shocks and structural changes, like the 1970s stagflation and deindustrialization (the Rust Belt). The role of entitlements is significant, as over half of NILF men receive at least one benefit, often disability payments like SSDI. Regional differences in labor force participation (e.g., high inactivity in West Virginia adjacent to low inactivity in Maryland) mitigate a purely national demand-side case. The source stresses the lack of data on the estimated 25 million ex-convicts, who are an "invisible population" largely untracked by labor statistics. 1929

So how is it that A-I could change the world ... and is also maybe in a bubble?Stanford economist Jared Bernstein, a former White House chief economic adviser and co-author of a recent New York Times op-ed on the subject, explains.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Brianna Scott.

President Donald Trump's tariff pause is set to expire in three days. Not only is the administration far from reaching its 90 deal target, but it has yet to finalize a single trade agreement. Rhode Island Rep. Gabe Amo and Jared Bernstein join The Weekend to discuss the impact President Trump's tariffs will have on the economy. Liz Shuler, President of the AFL-CIO, also joins The Weekend to discuss the organization's cross-country bus tour, aimed at opposing White House priorities that they believe will hurt working Americans.

It's becoming clearer that many of President Trump's supporters are realizing how badly they're getting shafted by his big budget bill and other leading initiatives. Senator Mitch McConnell just privately admitted that many Republicans are getting major blowback from “people back home” about the bill's deep Medicaid cuts, adding that “they'll get over it.” A stunning Fox News poll just found that a majority of white men without a college degree oppose the bill. Crucially, these voters make up “the heart of Trump's base.” Amazingly, Trump's own pollster just bluntly suggested that Trump voters are feeling betrayal. On top of all that, Trump supporters again and again have been horrified to learn that his deportations are victimizing immigrants they like. And the tariffs are already hurting Trump country. So how badly are his working class voters getting hit? To find out, we talked to economist Jared Bernstein, who paints a dark picture of the impact they're feeling from all these policies taken together. Add it all up, Bernstein concludes, and the Trump-GOP lack of concern as their voters learn they're taking it on the chin is “mind-boggling.”  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

President Donald Trump is set to announce that he'll impose sweeping new global tariffs on imports, and Congressional Republicans are already scrambling wildly to try to shield their states and districts from the fallout. Meanwhile, a Fox News poll finds that Trump is sliding on the economy, with the public turning against tariffs in particular. And an Associated Press survey also has terrible news for Trump on this front. Notably, all these negative consequences kicked in well before the tariffs have even started. We talked to Jared Bernstein, former chair of President Biden's Council of Economic Advisers and now a visiting scholar at Stanford, who has a new piece on his Substack predicting the consequences could be dire. He explains why the tariffs are so wrongheaded—and why they're likely to cause major backlash against Trump and his party.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?
