Politicians love to talk about lowering prices, but they really don't like to talk about the other half of the equation: actually raising wages. That's because the institutions of our government treat us as consumers first, and actual human beings with a role in society second. This week, Adam speaks with Dustin "Dino" Guastella, Director of Operations for Teamsters Local 623 and research associate with the Center for Working-Class Politics, about how the Democratic Party has lost track of what “affordability” actually means, and how a basic shift in perspective can actually begin to address the needs of working people.--SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamconoverSEE ADAM ON TOUR: https://www.adamconover.net/tourdates/SUBSCRIBE to and RATE Factually! on:» Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/factually-with-adam-conover/id1463460577» Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fK8WJw4ffMc2NWydBlDyJAbout Headgum: Headgum is an LA & NY-based podcast network creating premium podcasts with the funniest, most engaging voices in comedy to achieve one goal: Making our audience and ourselves laugh.

We've got two hours to fill, and about two weeks' worth of insanity to discuss. The only challenge isn't finding material. It's deciding which dumpster fire to roast first.Because America has become the world's largest outdoor laboratory dedicated to answering one question:"What happens when people confuse feelings with facts?"Turns out, we're getting the results in real time.And it should come as no surprise for you that…We're winning.I know it doesn't always feel that way because every day the media serves up a fresh plate of crazy. But if you're seeing more panic, more meltdowns, more excuses, more finger-pointing by Leftists, that's not confidence. That's the sound a losing team makes in the locker room when the fourth quarter clock hits zero.We'll start in Arizona, where Governor Katie Hobbs recently got a rude awakening.Nothing says "I'm in touch with the people" quite like discovering the people have stopped listening.Then we'll stay in Arizona and talk about Senator Ruben Gallego, who appears to be discovering that campaign slogans don't make excellent life preservers when reality starts flooding the boat.We'll get into the details.Then we're heading to Chicago.Ah yes, Chicago.The city where politicians hold press conferences about compassion while residents play an exciting game called "Was that fireworks or gunfire?"Mayor Brandon Johnson wants America to know how committed he is to protecting Black people and transgender people.Wonderful.Meanwhile, forty people got shot over the weekend.Eight were killed.Apparently criminals didn't get the memo about the mayor's priorities.And here's the irony. Politicians who lecture us endlessly about safety somehow preside over places where safety has become a rumor.We'll break that one down for all its comedic value.Then we move to another fascinating story.The media versus Tesla.Specifically, the media versus Elon Musk.And I have a question.When did journalists become so comfortable attacking America's first African-American trillionaire?What? Did I say something wrong?I've been told identity matters.I've been told representation matters.I've been told success stories matter.Apparently they matter right up until the successful person refuses to vote Democrat.Now suddenly every Tesla is a menace, every rocket launch is suspicious, every innovation is dangerous, and every self-driving car incident gets covered like it was the opening scene of a disaster movie.If Elon were a progressive activist handing out electric bicycles and pronouns, they'd name airports after him.Instead, they treat him like he personally unplugged CNN.As a tribute to white folks, here is comedian Ben Bankas on being white…[X] Humor – Ben Bankas I Like White PeopleSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt — the popular Republican who has won all three of his mayoral elections with at least 60% of the vote — joins the Chuck Toddcast to make an impassioned and deeply substantive case for pluralism as the foundation of the entire American experiment. Holt, who recently gave a notable speech on the subject, argues that the American system was fundamentally built on the acceptance of pluralism and the idea that compromise should produce something "good enough" rather than perfect for any single faction — and that the founders gave us a pretty good system specifically designed to channel disagreement away from political violence. The problem, Holt argues, is that the system is now actively making compromise harder. He points to closed partisan primaries as a central culprit: because he faces all voters rather than a narrow partisan base, he's incentivized to build consensus, but most candidates today are forced to pass bizarre litmus tests with base voters and campaign on culture-war messaging rather than the bread-and-butter issues people actually care about. The conversation broadens into the structural and cultural threats Holt sees to a pluralistic society. He argues this era has revealed the long-ignored flaws in American democracy — that we've all taken the system for granted — and makes the case that getting rid of closed partisan primaries, sometimes through ballot initiatives, is one of the most important reforms available, provided it's done in a way that doesn't simply flip parties or states for partisan advantage but instead empowers minority-party voters to act as genuine swing votes. Holt is sharp on education's role in all of this: he worries that the voucherization of schools and the explosion of private schools risk teaching kids in ideological monocultures, and laments the erosion of civics education over the past two decades, noting that public schools deliberately deemphasized social studies after No Child Left Behind. He and Chuck dig into whether pluralism can even be taught or whether it has to be lived in a genuinely diverse place, the difficulty of having a nuanced public conversation about AI data centers, and the housing crisis that Holt argues is not getting nearly enough attention from either the national media or Washington — closing with a concrete look at what a federal housing bill would actually mean for a fast-growing city like Oklahoma City.

Chuck Todd breaks down a seismic primary night in New York, where Mamdani-backed Democratic Socialist candidates swept their races — and argues the DSA may be on the verge of becoming the far-left equivalent of the Freedom Caucus, a small but disciplined faction capable of making the establishment's life genuinely miserable. The most stunning data point: Chuck argues Chuck Schumer likely couldn't win a Democratic primary anywhere in New York right now, that Dan Goldman lost his primary handily, and that while Schumer clearly shouldn't run again, politicians rarely walk away on their own. It was also a quietly bad night for Hakeem Jeffries, and Chuck raises the genuinely open question of whether Jeffries would even survive a primary challenge — and whether he still has a clear path to the speakership if Democrats take the House. The strategic lesson the left has internalized, Chuck argues, is that the smaller the Democratic majority, the more leverage a committed progressive bloc can apply, which means Democrats may have to govern in a fundamentally different way than their leadership wants. But Chuck repeatedly returns to the central tension: this brand of far-left politics plays beautifully in coastal cities but the socialist label simply doesn't travel well elsewhere, the rise of far-left politics has become uncomfortably intertwined with rising antisemitism, pro-Israel Democrats may soon find themselves politically homeless, and the real test will be whether progressives can win anywhere outside their urban strongholds. It all amounts, Chuck says, to a genuine fight for the heart and soul of the Democratic Party. He closes with a heartfelt remembrance of former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, who passed away at 100 — recalling a man who always grounded his opinions in data, and what a personal treat it was to have known him. Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt — the popular Republican who has won all three of his mayoral elections with at least 60% of the vote — joins the Chuck Toddcast to make an impassioned and deeply substantive case for pluralism as the foundation of the entire American experiment. Holt, who recently gave a notable speech on the subject, argues that the American system was fundamentally built on the acceptance of pluralism and the idea that compromise should produce something "good enough" rather than perfect for any single faction — and that the founders gave us a pretty good system specifically designed to channel disagreement away from political violence.

The Assyrian National Council of Australia (ANCA) is organising a Policy Summit on the future of the Nineveh Plains, to be held on 1 July 2026. The summit will take place at the Australian Parliament House in Canberra. ANCA President Hermiz Shahin told SBS Assyrian that numerous ambassadors, diplomats, and politicians have been invited to attend the event. He also stated that a number of Assyrian political parties and community organizations will participate in this one-day summit to discuss the future of the Nineveh Plains and issues of importance to the Assyrian people.

Podcast host Joe Rogan claimed on a recent episode that powerful critics, including political figures, allegedly tried to pressure platforms like Spotify to remove his show during the COVID-19 pandemic. He discussed losing sponsors and pushback over his comments on vaccines and lockdowns, while arguing that his platform had grown large enough to withstand criticism. The conversation revisited controversies surrounding his COVID-era statements and public debate over misinformation.

It's Monday, June 22nd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Canadian Parliament passes anti-Bible bill Sadly, Canada's Parliament passed the anti-Bible bill. LifeSiteNews.com reports that a final attempt to stop Bill C-9 was defeated. The bill, which threatens to criminalize quoting parts of the Bible, including on homosexuality, will soon become law. On Wednesday, June 17, a majority of Members of Parliament voted down an attempt by conservative Andrew Lawton to stop Bill C-9 “once and for all.” In an X post, he wrote, that the liberals “voted down my motion to withdraw the divisive and toxic Bill C-9 to stand up for freedom of expression and freedom of religion.”  Another conservative Member of Parliament, Brad Redekopp, called the official passage of Bill C-9 a “dark day” for Canada and religious freedom. The bill was introduced by Justice Minister Sean Fraser last year. Specifically, Bill C-9 would remove Section 319(3)(b) of Canada's Criminal Code.  That's the section which protects the good-faith expression of a person's religious views based on religious texts such as the Holy Bible. Galatians 6:7 declares, “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked.” Proof that Fauci funded lab research that sparked COVID A trove of communications and documents released by outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard show that Dr. Anthony Fauci “provided millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research” on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and that Fauci “lied to Congress,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. In a viral overnight social media video on June 19th already seen by millions, Gabbard made this announcement. GABBARD: “Before the COVID pandemic, Dr. Fauci, as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, provided millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, work which is now widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic. “Now, in support of President Trump's maximum transparency mandate, today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I'm releasing never-before-seen communications and documents that expose exactly how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions, the virus's lab leak origins, and his role in directing U.S. funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives. “Now, these documents expose Fauci's direct role in influencing and manipulating [Intelligence Community] assessments on COVID 19, and how Fauci lied to Congress in 2024 when, under oath, he denied knowledge of or participation in discussions with intelligence officials about viral research.” Dr. Fauci's close Intelligence Community relationships enabled him to “assume three key roles during the pandemic that shielded him from scrutiny as he wielded outsized influence.” First, Fauci funded risky coronavirus research linked to Big Pharma and the pursuit of “universal vaccines” worth trillions of dollars. Second, Fauci was the behind-the-scenes advisor who, with his hand-picked experts, pushed the Intelligence Community to endorse a natural, animal origin to hide his dangerous research. And third, Fauci became the nation's pandemic “pundit” and publicly pushed lies, disinformation, and censorship. GOP Senator: Trump's peace deal with Iran seemed elusive Appearing on Fox News Channel on June 17th, Republican Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, expressed his approval of the deal that President Donald Trump negotiated with Iran, reports RealClearPolitics.com. SCHMITT:  “The president of the United States, President Trump, was very clear from the get-go what the mission here was, which was to ensure that Iran would never have a nuclear weapon. They have no ability to do that. And they're signing on the dotted line now, Sean, for the first time, that they're not going to do that. “And we don't need to trust them. We just need to verify that. Effectively, the president knocked out their military capability. Their Navy is at the bottom of the sea. They have no air defense. Their nuclear program is in shambles. It's nowhere near ever being started up again. And we can always go back and mow the lawn, if necessary, because we've got eyes on it. “The president has provided now, through all of that action, space for diplomacy. That has always been his North Star. There's always more things to do. We need to make sure, obviously, we're verifying all of this. But the president has pulled off something here that most experts, six months ago, wouldn't have thought was possible. And I think it's good for the American people.” FBI foiled terrorist plot against UFC 250 event at White House A terror plot targeting the Ultimate Fighting Championship event at the White House on June 14th reportedly involved those who were ready to deploy snipers and drones armed with explosives to carry out a mass casualty attack against U.S. government officials. In a June 16th statement, FBI Director Kash Patel said his agency and its law enforcement partners became aware of the potential threat on June 10. He confirmed that authorities stopped the alleged plot before it began. Patel said, "Thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold. “We are built to detect, respond to, and bring to justice those who threaten the lives of American citizens — particularly during large gatherings like the historic UFC 250 fight" which drew 85,000 people to the Ellipse. James Talarico: God is non-binary; Jesus does not call us to worship Him And finally, James Talarico, the Texas Democrat candidate in the U.S. Senate race against Republican Ken Paxton, has made some bizarre claims about God and Jesus. Listen. TALARICO:  “God is both masculine and feminine, and everything in between. God is non-binary.” And here's what Talarico said about Jesus. TALARICO: “Not once in the entire Bible does Jesus ask us to worship Him. All He asks is that we follow Him.” Pastor Josh Howerton, Senior Pastor of Lakepointe Church in Dallas, Texas, called James Talarico a heretic. HOWERTON: “The whole last book of the Bible is the Lamb is seated on the throne with more people than anybody can count bowing down and worshiping Him, throwing crowns before Him. And then anybody who won't do that, He's throwing them into the lake of fire. “This is not me being mean or exaggerating: he's an actual heretic, like a biblically-defined false teacher and heretic. “Politicians, since the beginning of time, have been twisting Scripture, using Scripture to try to convince people to do what they want. This is the first guy I've ever seen whose whole platform is using the Bible to convince Christians to support godless things.” Revelation 5:13 says, “Then I heard every creature in Heaven and on Earth and under the Earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, June 22nd, in the year of our Lord 2026.

This week Balder defends his own people. A YouTube video titled "Economists are full of shit" and the hundred-plus likes underneath it sparked this episode, and the underlying complaint is understandable: a generation that was promised growth has watched that growth show up everywhere except their own bank accounts. But the target of that anger is wrong. Economists study economic behaviour. Politicians decide what to do with that knowledge. The neoliberal consensus that dominated policy from the 1980s onwards was a political choice, not an inevitable conclusion handed down by the discipline of economics itself.The data makes the disconnect impossible to miss. GDP and median household income moved together until the 1990s, then diverged sharply. Productivity and hourly compensation tell the same story from 1970 onwards. Nearly 40 percent of Americans could not cover an unexpected expense without significant strain on their savings, despite a quarter century of consistent GDP growth. None of that is a failure of economics as a science. It is a failure of politics to ask economists the right questions, namely how do we improve human wellbeing, rather than how do we maximise growth and assume the rest follows.We also dig into Gary Stevenson's viral critique of how economics is taught, which gets the methodology problem mostly right while building an oversimplified enemy out of an entire profession, and a Novara Media clip on China that shows exactly the same instinct from the opposite political direction: reaching for a tribe instead of an analysis. Economics is a soft science. It will sometimes get things wrong. That does not make it worthless, and confusing the discipline with the politicians who misused it is its own kind of Western Bubble thinking.This podcast is an individual project between us, Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats.

This week, Ian spoke with G. Flint Taylor of People's Law Office in Chicago and his new book, The Conviction Machine: Prosecutors, Politicians, and Police Violence in Chicago, out now from Haymarket Books. The conversation vacillates between the past and the present as Taylor talks about the misconduct and cover-up by the FBI and Chicago PD in the assassination of Chicago Black Panther's Leader Fred Hampton, the forty year effort to free Andrew and Jackie Wilson, the tradition of movement lawyering, and the legacy of the People's Law Office. . ... . ..

The silence surrounding Stacey Plaskett's lawsuit by Epstein survivors exposes the staggering hypocrisy of both lawmakers and the legacy media. Politicians who pound the table about justice and accountability fall mute when the accusations land inside their own chamber. Journalists who dissect every lurid detail of Epstein's life suddenly find no headlines when survivors point to a sitting member of Congress. This selective outrage isn't oversight—it's complicity. Survivors are abandoned the moment their stories threaten insiders, and the system shows once again that accountability is conditional, not principled.That selective accountability corrodes credibility and turns justice into theater. By politicizing the scandal, lawmakers use survivors as pawns while letting the real villains—Epstein's network of enablers—slip quietly back into the shadows. The result is a collapse of trust: citizens see investigations as performance, predators learn power protects power, and survivors are betrayed all over again. Epstein may be dead and Maxwell imprisoned, but the system that shielded them is alive and well—sustained by cowardice, silence, and the hypocrisy of institutions that pretend to defend justice while practicing selective blindness.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Political parties keep asking voters to overlook scandals, bad judgment and unstable behavior because the other side is worse. Senate candidates Graham Platner and Ken Paxton are only the latest examples.

Fields of SoulsHow a Politician, a Soldier, and a Footballer Saved Lives Without Ever MeetingIntroduction: The Heroes Nobody TrustedThe world often celebrates heroes after their victories, but rarely while they are fighting their battles.People trusted celebrities more than leaders. People trusted rumors more than facts. People trusted appearances more than character.In different corners of the world lived three individuals who had never met and would probably never meet.One was a politician.One was a soldier.One was a footballer.The strange thing was that all three carried the same burden:They wanted to save lives, but nobody believed in them.The politician was accused of seeking power.The soldier was accused of serving violence.The footballer was accused of chasing fame and money.Yet through their actions, millions of souls would be touched.Their names became whispers of hope in places they had never visited.And their stories became proof that sometimes the greatest impact is made by people the world misunderstands.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, we're still waiting for the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran to be released. Iran has a copy. So does Qatar, Pakistan and Turkey. But we don't. And neither does Israel. But even if the deal was made public, no deal will change the behavior of this enemy. The Iranian regime has never and will never change its ideology. To them, we are the enemy and we must be destroyed. Those who insist a deal can be made and that it is preferable, then they have to prove it.  Meanwhile, there's more leaks from Axios revealing that CIA Director John Ratcliffe raised serious doubts that Iran is unwilling to make the nuclear concessions sought in the deal. Skeptics including Secretary Marco Rubio and Secretary Pete Hegseth share these concerns, while VP Vance, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner advocated for it. Are the neo-cons? No. We need a healthy discussion about this MOU. Later, with fewer workers relative to beneficiaries, Social Security faces insolvency: benefits could be slashed by about 22% in seven or eight years, or payroll taxes massively increased. Politicians and bureaucrats have turned Social Security into a hemorrhaging fiscal vulnerability amid national debt, low birth rates, and insufficient personal savings, risking a crash that harms both recipients and payers unless addressed.

“The state of Lebanon needs to have an exclusivity of arms. And definitely, Hezbollah needs to be disarmed… Disarming a group or a community is not possible by force, it's possible by conviction. You put pressure, but you cannot eliminate a whole society, a whole community. We need to have an exclusivity of arms in the hand of the state, an exclusivity of decision through a political process, pressuring Hezbollah to disarm, but getting also in parallel a full withdrawal of the Israelis from occupied Lebanese territories and a full cessation of hostilities.”Jeremy Bowen speaks to Gebran Bassil, the Lebanese politician who served as the country's Foreign Minister between 2014 and 2020.Mr. Bassil, who is from the country's Maronite Christian ethnic group, leads the right-wing Free Patriotic Movement political party. The party was founded over 30 years ago by the former President of Lebanon, Michel Aoun, who is also Bassil's father-in-law.In October 2024, a year after the Hamas-led attacks of 7 October started the current Middle East conflict, the Free Patriotic Movement party announced that it was cutting ties with Hezbollah. Bassil slammed the Iranian-backed militant group for threatening the safety and stability of Lebanon when it launched its own attacks on Israel in support of Hamas.As the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah continues in southern Lebanon, Bassil and his party are part of growing calls for the country to take a new direction.

Democracy is a conversation. In the United States, and every other democracy, we're continually talking with one another about what issues deserve our attention, what our nation stands for, and what we want from our government. Politicians, parties, and media organizations compete for attention by telling compelling stories. This marketplace of ideas offers citizens and voters a wide selection of storylines and solutions. But even when free speech is protected, that doesn't mean everyone is equally skilled at crafting compelling narratives. In this conversation, taped in front of a live audience, Sarah Longwell joins host Alex Lovit to describe why pro-democracy advocates are losing the messaging war and what they can do to relate to the issues and values voters care about most. Sarah Longwell is the publisher of The Bulwark, which she cofounded in 2019, and a Charles F. Kettering Foundation senior fellow. She regularly conducts focus groups with voters across the political spectrum and hosts the podcast The Focus Group. This conversation was recorded live on June 8 during The Democracy Group's annual convening at the University of Southern California's Capital Campus in Washington, DC. https://substack.com/@sarahlongwell https://static.macmillan.com/static/smp/how-to-eat-an-elephant-9781250464170/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This is the last week politicians will spend in Ottawa before scattering for the summer, and there's plenty on the government's to-do list. Our National Affairs Panel — CBC's Rosemary Barton, The Globe and Mail's Stephanie Levitz and the Toronto Star's Ryan Tumilty — takes a close look at how political leaders should be spending their summer ahead of what could be a high-stakes fall.

On this week's episode, Sarah's asking is eighty too old to be a world leader or any kind of politician and Peter would like to know why the Thought Police are coming after Janet and John. And the pair pore over our mailbag to consider why Peter is s a Swissphile, to wonder what the Victorians ever did for us, how the Mamas and Papas were a musical apex for some and why is one of our presenters practically meat and drink for the Popbitch website.

In a dramatic twist amid Los Angeles' wildfire fallout, Kenneth Bass has joined thousands of residents suing over losses from the devastating Palisades fire, even though the lawsuit targets a government body led by his own sister. The case adds another layer of controversy to an already heated reelection battle, as critics continue to question the city's response to one of California's most destructive disasters.

Chris Dover has a podcast called Clovertac.  That might say all he is going to talk about in this episode is guns.  However, we hardly talk about guns at all.  We spent most of our time talking about how legislatures are stealing freedom and liberty and how overzealous politicians are doing it.

On this episode of Minor Issues, Mark Thornton opens with a review of John Mearsheimer's Why Do Politicians Lie?, focusing on strategic deception in international affairs, especially in the Middle East, Israel, Vietnam, Iraq, and America's own constitutional history. Mark argues that political lies are not merely moral failures; they are tools for empire, war, and state expansion.On Side B, Thornton joins What The Finance to explain how runaway spending, Fed liquidity, and Austrian business cycle theory reveal the deeper mechanics behind today's markets. He discusses the AI and data-center bubble, the Fed's role in sustaining malinvestment, the pressure on working families, and why gold, silver, and commodities are benefiting from a long era of monetary inflation and political dysfunction.2026 is the Year of Rothbard—Murray's 100th birthday—and we're celebrating by giving away free copies of Keynes the Man through June 30.

Ocean conservation is often treated like an impossible problem, but the truth is simpler: when strong laws are created, enforced, and guided by science, ocean protection works. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, Andrew Lewin looks at the unglamorous but powerful role of legislation in ocean conservation. From Canada's Oceans Act and marine protected areas to the U.S. Endangered Species Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, and Magnuson-Stevens Act, this episode shows how laws can help recover species, rebuild fisheries, and protect habitats. But laws only work when governments follow the science. Andrew also discusses what happens when political decisions override scientific advice, including concerns around the reopening of commercial cod fishing in Canada. This episode is about why ocean protection is possible, why enforcement matters, and why voters need to pay attention to leaders who treat the ocean as more than just a resource.

Everyone wants to know when the next recession is coming. Wall Street watches every data release. Politicians blame their opponents. The Federal Reserve tries to read the tea leaves. And too many commentators treat recessions as if they are an inevitable punishment after a long expansion. But what if much of that conventional wisdom is wrong?In this episode of the Let People Prosper Show, I'm joined by Dr. Tyler Goodspeed, Chief Economist at ExxonMobil and an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, to discuss his new book, Recession: The Real Reasons Economies Shrink and What to Do about It.Tyler brings a rare combination of economic history, macroeconomic expertise, and real-world policymaking experience. He served as Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers during the first Trump administration and previously served as Vice Chairman and Chief Economist for Macroeconomic Policy. We overlapped during my time at the White House Office of Management and Budget, where these debates were not academic. They shaped real decisions affecting millions of Americans. With dual PhDs in economics and history, Tyler has the long-run perspective needed to challenge the easy stories politicians tell about downturns. The goal should not be for the government to micromanage the economy. The goal should be to understand what actually causes downturns, avoid making them worse, and build the conditions for stronger long-run growth.

On this episode of the happy hour, Michael, Anna and Anthony discuss the politician on our playlist this week: Jon Ossoff. In case you don't know the Senator from Georgia yet, fear not, because you're going to be hearing about him plenty. He just gave a speech in Atlanta for his Senate reelection campaign and let's just say it's got everyone pretty hot and bothered about his potential as a Presidential candidate in 2028. And it's got Anna all hot and bothered because he's, well...pretty hot. Kinda like a certain Prez from a certain hit TV show that was a little scandalous.

Hayek's Warning We Ignored: Government Planning Doesn't Fix Economies Watch this video at- https://youtu.be/WxW7JRc414Y?si=KYnuRHH_Fst8VMHU John Stossel  and misesmedia 401,851 views Mar 24, 2026 Politicians say they can “fix” the economy. But economists Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises pointed out how government “fixes" lead to bigger problems. _ _ _ _ _ _ To make sure you receive weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscrib... _ _ _ _ _ _ Hayek and Mises predicted the fall of the Soviet Union. They warned that centrally planned economies fail. But today, socialism is popular again. New York and Seattle have elected socialist mayors. Many politicians still believe that government can manage the economy—an idea popularized by economist John Maynard Keynes. Keynes was revered. Politicians love his arguments. But Hayek and Mises warned that government intervention leads to inflation, instability, and boom-bust cycles. They were right.

Mark Edge charts new waters with Joe Quirk, Seavangelist and President of The Seasteading Institute and author of Seasteading: How Floating Nations Will Restore the Environment, Enrich the Poor, Cure the Sick, and Liberate Humanity from Politicians, for a wide ranging conversation about why libertarians have won all the arguments but still can't change anything — and why seasteading might be the technology that actually puts the state out of business. They cover Joe's unlikely conversion from left-wing radical to voluntaryist, the current state of seastead technology from ArkPad to Ocean Builders to LiberArx, jurisdictional freedoms at sea, the wild story of Chad and Nadia being hunted by the Thai Navy, and why freeing your mind might be the most important first step to freedom.

In this Listener Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan tackles the growing influence of China in California politics, the ongoing US-Iran conflict in the Strait of Hormuz, and a murder case in the UK that is forcing a national reckoning over two-tiered justice. From the jungle primaries in San Francisco to mined shipping lanes in the Persian Gulf, Bryan breaks down what these stories mean for everyday Americans and where he sees them heading. He also covers the political chaos surrounding the 250th Independence Day celebrations in Washington, the rise of populist movements in Australia and Colombia, and a stunning immigration fraud case out of Indiana. Plus, Bryan reports on the alarming spread of ticks and tick-borne illness across the Midwest, weighs in on Trump's new pick to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and closes with a hopeful reflection on what a trip back home to rural Oregon reminded him about trust, heritage, and what makes America worth fighting for.
