Chuck Todd unpacks the escalating chaos around Donald Trump's second term, from his doom-and-gloom rhetoric to the brazen decisions that have left few guardrails in place. Voters may not reject Trump's ideas outright, but his nonstop turbulence—from shaming pregnant women over Tylenol to undermining global allies—has created deep political vulnerabilities. Todd explores how small businesses, foreign policy, and even health guidance have been rattled by Trump's need for instability, while noting that divided government historically forces presidents to govern more broadly. The monologue also turns to Vice President Kamala Harris, whose new book reveals her frustrations with the 2020 ticket and her uneasy positioning for the future, raising tough questions about her political style and prospects.Then, Congressman Chris Deluzio joins Chuck to talk about the political transformation of Western Pennsylvania, the challenges of running as a Democrat in a swing district, and the lessons he's learned since succeeding Conor Lamb. From the hollowing out of factory towns to the rare but pivotal swing voters who decide elections, Deluzio reflects on the realignment that has reshaped the region's politics. He also opens up about how 9/11 led him to serve in the Navy, why he believes American democracy is at risk, and the urgent need for reforms to restore voter trust.The conversation also dives into big debates in Washington: partisan gerrymandering, government shutdown brinkmanship, establishing limits on presidential power, and the dangers of politicizing the military. Deluzio weighs in on rail safety after East Palestine, social media's effect on kids, and congressional corruption—from stock trading to pay structures that keep working-class Americans from serving. Plus, Chuck gets his take on the rising cost of energy, Pittsburgh sports, and whether Democrats can win back voters by focusing squarely on economic issues.Finally, he gives his “ToddCast Top 5” football coaches on the hot-seat and answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Got injured in an accident?

Ontario's housing market is in crisis, and it's not just condos in downtown Toronto. In this episode of The Missing Middle Podcast, Mike Moffatt and Sabrina Maddeaux break down a bleak new report on housing starts and sales across 34 municipalities. From plummeting pre-construction sales and stalled ground-oriented homes, to the looming loss of 21,000 jobs, we explore why affordability is worse than ever, why government housing targets are falling short, and what it all means for buyers, renters, and the economy.Chapters00:00 Introduction and overview of the housing crisis 01:59 Insights from the residential construction report card03:19 Falling housing starts and rising unemployment04:10 Understanding housing starts and sales dynamics06:01 What is a housing start?08:00 1.5 million homes by 2032 is unachievable 09:19 Any good news?10:02  Political accountability and the housing crisisResearch/Links:Failing Grades, Falling Starts: Ontario Housing's Bleak Mid-Year CheckupCondo Crashes, Shrinkflation, & The Death of Homeownership?Hosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina Maddeaux Produced by Meredith Martin This podcast is funded by the Neptis Foundation and brought to you by the Smart Prosperity Institute.

Shrinkflation, worsening toxicity, utility prices, toxic food, with a side of "this is normal, don't question it." Yes, it is finally time to talk about real measures to save yourself first. Next year might be too late. I am not being dramatic. If you can't relate to this yet, just wait. Your turn is coming.

In this episode of The Missing Middle, Sabrina Maddeaux and Mike Moffatt dig into Canada's condo market crash, the rise of “housing shrinkflation,” and what it all means for young Canadians chasing the dream of homeownership. They unpack why falling condo prices aren't actually fixing the housing crisis, how developers and government policies have fueled the problem, and why middle-class buyers are being left behind. If you've been wondering whether Canada is headed for a nation of “forever renters,” this is a conversation you don't want to miss.Chapters00:00 Introduction02:02 The condo market collapse: an overview04:03  The impact of shrinkflation on housing04:54 Ron Butler pop up07:48 Government policies and middle-class homeownership11:56 The future of homeownership in canadaResearch/linksSabrina's Toronto Star column https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/the-condo-crash-wont-fix-our-housing-problem-in-fact-it-just-might-make-it/article_7c44519f-cdbe-4978-b575-ffc1ef9a76bd.htmlNew Condo Sales in GTA Hit 3rd-Highest Level on Record in 2019: Reporthttps://storeys.com/new-condo-sales-gta-2019/Homeownership rate for City of Toronto:https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/as-sa/fogs-spg/alternative.cfm?topic=7&lang=E&dguid=2021A00033520&objectId=7 Toronto condo market is in ‘free fall,' federal housing minister sayshttps://www.thestar.com/real-estate/toronto-condo-market-is-in-free-fall-federal-housing-minister-says/article_66c26722-1f22-4b28-bf95-3e98f2e02159.htmlRon Butler: Condo Crash Meets Housing Crisishttps://youtu.be/9xD5veEsB3U?si=-9A-N2jecO8u63N8Hosts: Sabrina Maddeaux https://x.com/SabrinaMaddeaux Mike Moffatt https://twitter.com/MikePMoffatt https://bsky.app/profile/mikepmoffatt.bsky.socialProducer: Meredith Martin https://twitter.com/meredithmartin @meredithmartin.bsky.socialEditor: Sean Foreman@seanegertonforeman@seanforeman.bsky.socialThis podcast is funded by the Neptis Foundation https://neptis.org/Brought to you by the Missing Middle Initiative https://www.missingmiddleinitiative.ca/Hosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina Maddeaux Produced by Meredith Martin This podcast is funded by the Neptis Foundation and brought to you by the Smart Prosperity Institute.

Lots of ground to cover since we've been away, including the looming bankruptcy of Nate's local YMCA, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement, Trump cracking down on crime and flag burning, gerrymandering, the dumbest controversies of all time starring Cracker Barrel and Sydney Sweeney, shrinkflation, the death of the Epstein files, nailing down the correct pronunciation of "aunt," and much more! Sidenote: Cracker Barrel reversed their decision on the new logo mere hours after we recorded this episode, because that's how it always goes around here.

Chuck Todd examines Trump's disastrous CNBC interview filled with demonstrable lies and errors, questioning whether the president is mentally declining or being fed bad information as he poisons government data and threatens economic stability by claiming false achievements like having the "highest vote total ever in Texas" when he actually ranked just 7th since World War II. He warns that Trump's calls for rigged elections in Texas to maintain power, combined with his corruption of federal statistics, represents a fundamental threat to democracy that even elected Republicans won't support—though the party remains largely silent as Trump advocates for systematic unfairness. The episode also covers emerging political developments including Arnold Schwarzenegger's vow to fight Gavin Newsom over redistricting, Democratic donor Steve Kloobeck launching TV ads in California focused on Trump's Epstein connections after Kamala Harris bows out, and the growing likelihood that Sherrod Brown will mount another Senate run in Ohio despite being positioned as Republicans' top 2028 target. He rounds out the discussion with updates on crowded Democratic primary fields in Iowa, potential presidential ambitions from Hawaii Governor Josh Green, Jerry Demings' Florida political future, and the economic reality of shrinkflation hitting grocery stores as Americans face continued price increases.Then, nuclear weapons historian Greg Mitchell joins Chuck Todd to discuss his documentary "Atomic Bowl" and the largely forgotten story of a football game played in Nagasaki just four months after the atomic bombing, revealing how both American and Japanese governments worked to quickly turn the page on nuclear devastation. Mitchell explores why Nagasaki became the "forgotten city" compared to Hiroshima, despite the horrific targeting of civilian populations rather than military bases, and how the military-ordered football game featuring a Heisman Trophy winner was part of a broader effort to westernize Japan and normalize post-war relations. The conversation delves into the decades-long government cover-up of radiation health effects on American troops, the "downwinders" affected by nuclear testing, and how the true decision-making process behind the bombings remains buried by official narratives that claimed the bombs saved a million American lives.The discussion takes on contemporary urgency as Mitchell warns that nuclear weapons are being made "more useable" while the horror of their effects fades from living memory, with AI now integrated into nuclear protocols and the Trump administration proposing nuclear reactors on the moon. Todd and Mitchell examine how Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" brought renewed attention to nuclear issues, the ongoing radiation monitoring in Japanese cities, and whether there's a modern equivalent to muckraking journalists like Upton Sinclair who could expose nuclear truths today. The episode highlights the critical importance of remembering nuclear history as policymakers consider the role of nuclear power in clean energy transitions while the Pacific Theatre's lessons remain overshadowed by European World War II narratives, making the atomic bombings' anniversaries increasingly forgotten despite their lasting global implications.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Chuck Todd's Introduction02:00 Trump's crazy interview with CNBC was full of errors and lies03:15 Trump is either losing it or is being given bad information04:30 Trump is poisoning government data05:45 Corrupting data can destroy the economy06:15 Trump claims highest vote total ever in Texas… not true07:30 Trump had the 7th highest vote total in Texas just since WW208:45 Trump is calling for an unfair election in Texas to hold power09:45 Illinois is the most gerrymandered Democratic state10:45 Arnold Schwarzenegger vows to fight Newsom over redistricting13:15 Advocating for unfairness is terrible for the democracy14:45 Elected Republicans are not on board with manipulating BLS stats16:00 Steve Kloobeck running TV ads in CA after Harris bows out17:45 Kloobeck's first ad is about Trump & Epstein19:15 Looking likely Sherrod Brown will run for senate in Ohio21:15 If Brown wins he'll be the #1 target for Republicans in 28'23:15 Democrats now have 4 senate candidates in Iowa25:30 Democrats will have a hard time clearing the primary field26:45 Hawaii governor Josh Green might run for president28:00 Jerry Demings might run for governor or senate in Florida30:00 Shrinkflation is showing up at grocery stores as prices rise33:45 Greg Mitchell joins the Chuck ToddCast! 35:30 How Greg ended up on the nuclear weapons beat 37:00 Nagasaki is the "forgotten city" 38:00 Oppenheimer brought nukes back into public consciousness 39:15 The "atomic bowl" was played 4 months after Nagasaki bombing 40:30 The story of the game was swept under the rug 43:00 Why was Nagasaki bombed if Hiroshima "made the point"? 44:45 Why were Hiroshima and Nagasaki chosen for bombing? 46:00 Target wasn't military bases, it was the middle of the cities 47:00 Truman put a stop to use of additional nukes 48:30 Anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is largely forgotten 50:00 U.S. troops sent in after bombing had health problems from radiation 51:30 Government took decades to deal with health fallout for troops 52:45 Oppenheimer brought attention to the "downwinders" of nuke tests 54:00 Both U.S. & Japanese governments wanted to turn page on WW2 56:00 The atomic bowl featured a Heisman trophy winner 57:30 Why was the game played? 58:45 Game was part of an effort to westernize Japan 1:01:15 Game was ordered by military command, not Washington 1:02:15 Participants didn't talk about playing in the game 1:03:45 There's been no feedback on the film from the Pentagon 1:05:15 Horror of nuclear weapons barely exists in living memory 1:07:00 Is there a robust community of historians in Japan for this topic? 1:08:15 Do the Japanese still monitor radiation fallout in these cities? 1:10:15 Justification narrative was saving a million American lives 1:11:30 The Pacific theatre receives far less attention than Europe 1:13:00 Decision making process has been buried by the government 1:14:00 Trump administration wants a nuclear reactor on the moon 1:15:15 The role of nuclear power in clean energy transition 1:16:30 AI is being used in our nuclear weapons protocols, but can't launch 1:17:30 J.

Preise steigen, das kennt man. Aber manchmal verändert sich etwas, ohne dass es auf den ersten Blick auffällt. Die Packung sieht gleich aus, aber der Inhalt ist kleiner oder die Qualität schlechter. Bei Shrinkflation wird die Füllmenge reduziert, während der Preis gleich bleibt oder sogar steigt. Bei Skimpflation wird an der Zusammensetzung gespart – teurere Zutaten werden durch günstigere ersetzt. Beides sind Formen versteckter Preiserhöhungen, die im Supermarkt längst keine Ausnahme mehr sind. In dieser Folge spricht Dr. Sebastian Voigt mit Lisa Völkel, Referentin für Lebensmittel beim Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband (vzbv), über das Spannungsfeld zwischen versteckten Preiserhöhungen, Verbraucherschutz und Preistransparenz. Es geht um Mogelpackungen, die Verpackungspolitik großer Marken, um Grundpreise, digitale Preisschilder und um die Frage, welche politischen Forderungen sich aus alldem ableiten lassen. „Man trifft die Kaufentscheidung innerhalb von acht Sekunden – da bleibt kaum Zeit, um versteckte Preiserhöhungen zu erkennen“, sagt Lisa Völkel. Eine zentrale Forderung des Verbraucherschutzes: Ein klarer Hinweis auf der Verpackung, wenn sich Füllmenge oder Zusammensetzung verändert haben. Im Gespräch geht es außerdem um die rechtliche Einordnung solcher Fälle, um Beispiele aus der Mogelpackungsliste der Verbraucherzentrale Hamburg und um die besondere Rolle von Community-Wissen, wenn es darum geht, unfaire Preistricks öffentlich zu machen. Über den Gast: Lisa Völkel ist Referentin für Lebensmittel und Ernährung beim Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband (vzbv) in Berlin. Dort analysiert sie Preisentwicklungen entlang der gesamten Lebensmittel-Wertschöpfungskette – von der Landwirtschaft bis ins Supermarktregal. Zuvor war sie bei der Berliner Tafel tätig und kennt die Herausforderungen rund um Ernährungsarmut und Verbraucherrechte aus der Praxis. Ihr Ziel: faire, nachvollziehbare und transparente Preise für alle.

PepsiCo ist weit mehr als eine Cola-Firma: Hinter dem bekannten Markennamen verbirgt sich ein globaler Gigant mit einem breiten Portfolio an Snacks und Getränken, der seit Jahrzehnten fest in den Depots vieler Einkommensinvestoren verankert ist. Doch wie steht es wirklich um PepsiCo im Jahr 2025? Ist die Aktie nach dem Kursrutsch ein Schnäppchen oder lauern hinter den etablierten Marken ernsthafte Probleme? In diesem Beitrag werfen wir einen genaueren Blick auf das Geschäftsmodell, die aktuellen Herausforderungen und die Chancen für langfristige Anleger.

Paul L. Singer, Abigail Stempson, Beth Bolen Chun, and Andrea deLorimier As we've discussed previously, price gouging has been a focus for enforcers in the past few years, and 2025 is proving no different. In the past month alone, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced that the California DOJ has opened active investigations into price gouging in the aftermath of the Los Angeles fires (and Los Angeles county increased its penalty for price gouging to $50,000 per violation), New York Attorney General Letitia James issued a warning against price gouging for eggs and poultry amid the national bird flu outbreak, and Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin sued Capital City Tree Service for price gouging allegations stemming from severe weather events in the state. This week, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong joined the fray by proposing price gouging legislation that, if passed, would put a novel spin on his state's continued fight against price gouging. https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints/blogs/ad-law-access/connecticuts-shrinkflation-legislation-expanding-state-ags-price-gouging-authority-for-shrinking-product-sizes#:~:text=According%20to%20Attorney%20General%20Tong,do%20not%20also%20reduce%20price.

Reminder that the Patreon is reopening February 1st, please adjust your subscriptions as you see fit, thank you.Tab and Chaco are back again this week, and this episode is actually being released in the same Lunar New year it was recorded! Talking about...Petit TyrantsShflationWeaponizing Others ReligionWe grant people control over little mundane things all the time. Normal people take this power with grace and dignity and only wield power in a manner consistent with the common good. Others plant their little poop emoji flag on their new "Kingdom" and make everyone else's lives a living hell. These are the exact people who should never be allowed sway over the lives of others in any capacity, send them to the mines. You're now the Senior VP of smashing this rock into a smaller rock.We've talked a lot on this show about how the world has been on this downward trend for all of our lifetimes and most of our parents lifetimes. Now we have a new term, "Shflation" it's all the best parts of Shrinkflation and Sh!tflation combined together in a cheaper, smaller and less durable package! Just keep outsourcing it all and cutting corners that's never going to bite us!Religion is a playbook for life, you are born into one, or maybe you choose one later in life, regardless it's yours. When others who don't read the playbook, and actively despise your playbook try to coerce your agreement by misrepresenting your playbook to you, it makes me irate. You want to enforce morality, or ethics, come with your own playbook and make an argument why your book is better. Oh you don't have a book, yours is just about how mine is all lies. Sound to me like you need to STFU!All of that plus news, voicemails, and that all important CPAP UPDATE!

When products shrink in size, but prices do not, it's called shrinkflation, and it's happening in America. Plus, Kamala appears on "The Breakfast Club" with Charlemagne Tha God to try to tout the Biden-Harris administration's record.  Visit the Howie Carr Radio Network website to access columns, podcasts, and other exclusive content.

DEI is getting a rebrand because the commie doesn't stop when you catch them. They just change tactics. Shrinkflation at the drive thru. Selena Zito gives us the rust belt perspective on Trump. Does Tim Walz effect the Dome ticket as much as they wanted? Western countries are going after free speech proponents. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Jim and Greg as they still struggle to locate a good martini. Instead, they highlight how Kamala Harris is trying to gaslight Americans about why everything costs so much, the details surrounding Tim Walz's drunk driving arrest back in the '90s, and a Secret Service agent found missing from her post just moments before Trump's arrival at a rally in North Carolina.First, they note Vice President Harris, just like President Biden, is planning to blame high prices on greedy, gouging companies instead of their reckless spending and other inflationary policies. They give Harris a quick review of why costs skyrocketed in the first couple years of the Biden-Harris administration and why demonizing corporate America is not going to help at all.Next, they dig into the details of Tim Walz's 1995 drunk driving arrest for going 96 MPH in a 55 MPH zone. In addition to documenting that Walz lied about it as recently as his 2006 congressional campaign. Jim also points to the final days of the 2000 presidential election to prove that drunk driving arrests can cause serious problems many years later.Finally, they groan as a Secret Service agent was discovered to be away from her post without permission just minutes before Donald Trump arrived for a rally because she was breastfeeding her baby. While they love kids, Jim and Greg don't think bringing kids to your protective detail is a very good idea. And they are stunned that anyone in the Secret Service would be cutting any corners right now.Please visit our great sponsors:Oraclehttps://oracle.com/martiniTake a free test drive of OCI at oracle.com/martini today!Moink Boxhttps://moinkbox.com/martiniSign up today and get free hot rolls in your first box only at moinkbox.com/martini .
