The rule of law is essential to the flourishing of liberal democracy and capitalism. Yet, it is now under pressure in the United States, and corporate law firms are in the eye of the storm. Over the last few weeks, President Donald Trump has issued executive orders against several prominent law firms that represented his political adversaries and promoted diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Some of these law firms have caved into the administration's demands to end such practices and provide pro bono services to the government, whereas others are fighting back.To discuss the financial reasons why some firms have capitulated while others have held out, and what the consequences are for the survival of the rule of law, Bethany and Luigi speak to John Morley, Augustus E. Lines Professor of Law at Yale University and an expert on the economics of law. Are Trump's orders unconstitutional, and if so, why have so many law firms reached a deal with him? How have changes to law firms' business models left them particularly vulnerable to a moment like this? Why are some firms more vulnerable to political attacks than others? Together, the three discuss the firms' reciprocal agreements with the administration, the possibilities for a collective-action response, and how this moment may profoundly reshape the future of law, democracy, and capitalism in America.Show Notes:Watch a recording of the panel “Antitrust and the 1st Amendment” from the 2025 Stigler Center Antitrust and Competition Conference, featuring Greg Day, Eleanor Fox, and Matt Stoller, and moderated by Maciej Bernatt. The panel highlights how antitrust may stand in the way of collective action, competitive markets, and free speech.

Afortunadamente, un año más hemos logrado sobrevivir a las Fallas y regresamos con una nueva entrega de La Paella Rusa. Arrancamos nuestro primer programa de esta primavera con un descubrimiento: la DANA fue culpa de los MENA, la Agenda 2030, los catalanes y las feministas. Así lo explicó hace unos días el presidente de la Generalitat, Carlos Mazón (sí, el mismo que hace ‘CHAS' y aparece a tu lado en la Cremà). No se ha dado cuenta de ello por casualidad: la iluminación le llegó durante las negociaciones con VOX para sacar adelante los presupuestos valencianos.  Hacemos también un repaso de los momentos más mágicos que nos han proporcionado las Fallas de 2025 con especial atención a la Ofrenda, esa ceremonia pagana de bienvenida a la primavera en la que se construye colectivamente un tótem floral XXL. Y hablamos también del rearme europeo, el mejor motivo para endeudarnos hasta las trancas. ¡Un sueño para todo ciudadano de la UE! Obviamente, en este capítulo de La Paella Rusa contamos con una nueva entrega de la ya célebre sección “¿Qué ha hecho esta semana el exteniente general del Ejército de Tierra, vicepresident y conseller para la Recuperación Económica y Social, Francisco José Gan Pampols?”.  O, como le llaman en VOX, “el infiltrado del traidor Sánchez”. Y en esta nueva entrega de La Paella Rusa abordamos también la última hora de la Liga Villaconejos (conocida por algunos como Hypermotion). Por último, en nuestra recomendación cultural de la semana, os proponemos una lectura. En concreto, Goliath, de Matt Stoller (Simon & Schuster). ¿Es una sinopsis eso que cruza el horizonte? “En Goliat, Matt Stoller explica cómo el autoritarismo y el populismo han regresado a la política estadounidense por primera vez en ochenta años, ya que el resultado de las elecciones de 2016 sacudió nuestra fe en las instituciones democráticas. Ha puesto de relieve fuerzas peligrosas que muchos estadounidenses modernos ni siquiera sabían que existían. Las amargas recriminaciones y el pánico de hoy representan mucho más que el miedo al futuro: reflejan una confusión básica sobre lo que está ocurriendo y la historia detrás de este momento. Los verdaderos efectos del populismo, una clase media que se reduce y una riqueza financiera concentrada apenas están comenzando a manifestarse bajo las administraciones actuales. Las lecciones del estudio de Stoller sin duda se volverán más relevantes a medida que pase el tiempo”.

Most would agree that all of these [tribalism, polarization, racism, religious enmity, and antisemitism] are bad for society. They are perhaps a particular threat in a democracy like ours, which is predicated on the idea that people of very different backgrounds and ideas can coexist peacefully. Following decades of improvement in all these areas, they seem to be resurgent in the United States. What role have the law, the courts, and the culture played in contributing to this state of affairs? How can law best be deployed to combat it and what is the role of civil society vs. law?Featuring:Mr. Jay Edelson, Founder & CEO, Edelson PCProf. Michael W. McConnell, Richard and Frances Mallery Professor of Law, Director of the Constitutional Law Center, Stanford Law SchoolProf. David M. Schizer, Harvey R.

With the anti-Tulsi Gabbard media campaign in full swing, we decided to revisit the most popular segment The Jimmy Dore Show has ever produced, featuring Zionist New York Times writer Bari Weiss's appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast. When Gabbard's name came up, Weiss sought to smear her as an “Assad toady” and “the motherlode of bad ideas,” but all she wound up doing was exposing her own ignorance, lack of original thinking and fealty to the establishment.   Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss just how hilariously delicious this interaction was.   Plus segments on The View host Sunny Hostin having to issue a correction about Matt Gaetz and Biden's insane push for World War III over Ukraine.   Also featuring Matt Stoller, Scott Ritter, Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss!

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with David Dayen, executive editor at The American Prospect, & Matt Stoller of the American Economic Liberties Project and author of the BIG newsletter on SubStack, to discuss their new podcast endeavor entitled "Organized Money". First, Sam runs through updates on the impending US presidential election, Israel's ongoing slaughter in Lebanon, backlash to Israeli aggression from the US and UK, the Boeing machinist strike, the 2024 election scheme, the Elon-Adelson money machine, Hurricane Helene's missing persons, Nebraskan voter rolls, and Jerry Seinfeld's musings on the state of comedy, also watching Sean Hannity attempt to run cover for Trump's disastrous appearance discussing policy at the Economic Club of Chicago. David Dayen and Matt Stoller then join, diving right into the roots of their new podcast “Organized Money” in contextualizing and unpacking the evolution of a new, justice-oriented approach to business and the role it plays in modern society. Dayen and Stoller parse through the expansive nature of the indoctrinating pressures of neoliberal institutions that wholeheartedly rejected the topic of anti-trust from the realm of valid politics, tackling the story of four Google anti-trust cases across two Democratic administrations (Obama and Biden) as they explore the breaking-of-the-dam moment that was simply bringing these cases to court. After briefly expanding on the major impact of just acknowledging the issue of extreme corporate greed (and the government's role in it) on US politics as a whole, Matt, David, and Sam step back to explore how this vision of business came to be, with the post-economic crisis vacuum of an alternative to failing neoliberal systems pushing those on the American left to construct an image of an economy not grounded in unfettered power, greed, and exploitation. Wrapping up, they look to the future of this new vision for American business, diving deep into the potential of anti-trust under a kleptocrat like Donald Trump and a seemingly yet-undefined establishment cipher like Kamala Harris. And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks the Biden Administration's most recent move threatening to apply US law to arms transfers to Israel, Ted Cruz lapses his lack of a backbone as he challenges Colin Allred on the debate stage, and Elon Musk reflects on just how funny his penis truly is. Meredith from Upstate reflects on how Sam's vocal pauses gave her pause, and Ally from New Hampshire helps us explore the average American's supposed desire for a militant anti-immigrant crackdown, plus, your calls and IMs!

When Biden stepped down, there was a rush of stakeholders to claim Kamala Harris's agenda. One of Harris's advisors, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, pressured her to turn away from progressive policies such as anti-trust and to pursue a more corporate agenda. However, Harris's recent economic proposals are much more progressive on tone and policy. Find out more as KCSB's Robert Stark speaks with Matt Stoller of the American Economic Liberties Project.

Matt Stoller has been raising the alarm about corporate monopolies for years. Following this week's antitrust ruling against Google, the research director at the American Economic Liberties Project talks to Paul Haavardsrud about why this may spell the beginning of the end for Big Tech's wild west era. 

Earlier this week, a judge reached a decision in an ongoing lawsuit between the United States government and Google in an antitrust dispute. The ruling deemed that Google is indeed a monopoly in the search engine business. Matt Stoller shares how the judge came to this ruling, what comes next in the case, and what it means for the internet and American business. This case has usually gone underneath the headlines, but it matters a lot more than we might think.

What if the American economy's foundation was built on small businesses rather than colossal corporations? Discover how we shifted from a decentralized landscape in the 1970s to today's monopolistic giants with our guest, Matt Stoller, an eminent public intellectual and author on monopolies and finance. Stoller reveals the philosophical shift that prioritized consumerism over citizenship, leading to a relaxation in antitrust laws and a landscape dominated by corporate mega-powers. Learn how this transition has created an economy riddled with extraction and bottlenecks, and how recent administrations are hinting at potential reforms to address these seismic changes.We also delve deep into the political arena, examining how corporate power shapes the strategies of key political figures like Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Trump's evolution towards a traditional Republican stance is contrasted with Harris's nuanced and often contradictory relationship with corporate power and Silicon Valley. Gain insight into Harris's mixed record as California's Attorney General and the potential influences from powerful entities like Wall Street and labor unions that could sway future policies. This chapter is a compelling look at the intricate dance between politics and corporate dominance.On the global stage, Stoller tackles the complexities of antitrust enforcement, revealing the partisan divides that complicate the legislative process in the U.S. and similar challenges worldwide. Hear about the prolonged antitrust cases, such as the ongoing investigation into Google's monopoly, and the urgent need for more efficient enforcement. We also unpack the murky waters of pharmaceutical pricing, highlighting the significant role of pharmacy benefit managers in drug distribution and costs. This episode is a must-listen for those keen on understanding the systemic issues plaguing major industries and the emerging reform movements aimed at dismantling monopolistic control.The content in this program is for informational purposes only.

In Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy (Simon & Schuster, 2019), Matt Stoller explains how authoritarianism and populism have returned to American politics for the first time in eighty years, as the outcome of the 2016 election shook our faith in democratic institutions. It has brought to the fore dangerous forces that many modern Americans never even knew existed. Today's bitter recriminations and panic represent more than just fear of the future, they reflect a basic confusion about what is happening and the historical backstory that brought us to this moment. The true effects of populism, a shrinking middle class, and concentrated financial wealth are only just beginning to manifest themselves under the current administrations. The lessons of Stoller's study will only grow more relevant as time passes. "An engaging call to arms," (Kirkus Reviews) Stoller illustrates here in rich detail how we arrived at this tenuous moment, and the steps we must take to create a new democracy.

Since 2021, economists and pundits have tried to blame inflation on workers and rising wages. But a new bombshell exposé spotlights a different cause: oil companies engaging in an alleged price-fixing scheme with Saudi Arabia and other countries that may have fueled roughly one-third of all U.S. inflation in 2021. A recent Federal Trade Commission case uncovered text messages and documents suggesting the founder of a big oil company colluded with the Saudi government and other oil-producing countries to keep energy prices high. Another lawsuit alleges multiple American oil companies were engaged in a price-fixing scheme. Today on Lever Time, Matt Stoller of the American Economic Liberties Project discusses his groundbreaking reporting on the matter — and explains how this alleged collusion could have played a major role in the country's inflation crisis. 

Is 2024 the year of trust-busting? This bipartisan issue of small versus big is a fight taking place on the streets and in the federal and state courts; led by grassroots movements and consumer protest. The Biden administration has stepped up anti-trust action, but the number of merger filings is also up. What should we make of this moment? To help answer that question, Laura is joined by two experts on anti-trust action: Stacy Mitchell, Co-Executive Director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance and Matt Stoller, author of “Goliath: The Hundred Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy” and publisher of the newsletter “BIG” on Substack. Mitchell has played a leading role in today's growing anti-monopoly movement and her work informed the Federal Trade Commission's antitrust lawsuit against Amazon in 2023. Stoller is the former policy advisor to the Senate Budget Committee and also worked for a member of the Financial Services Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives during the financial crisis. In this episode, they unpack how decades of corporate consolidation did not lead to cheaper prices, better service or more jobs, but instead worsened our local economies, the quality of our lives and democracy. How have people power and government action together brought about a shift? Is it real? Hear why one guest calls this moment a delayed policy reaction to the 2008 financial crisis, plus a commentary from Laura for tax day.“What we are seeing in this administration is we actually have people in place who are making huge change and are using the tools to the full extent that they have . . . There is a lot of grassroots support for the idea of dealing with corporate power. Everybody is feeling this . . .” - Stacy Mitchell“It's very clear that not having competition in these markets kills . . .
