Donald Trump's Oval Office rant took a darker turn this week, openly flirting with dictatorship while floating executive orders on flag burning, renaming the Department of Defense, and even eyeing a federal troop occupation of Chicago. Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman break down the disturbing signs of escalation, the “mad king” dynamic now defining Trump's behavior, and the growing pushback from leaders like Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. Plus: why authoritarianism always comes wrapped in corruption, distraction, and stolen wealth.

Donald Trump just welcomed Vladimir Putin to American soil and rolled out the red carpet—literally clapping as the war criminal strutted into Alaska.. Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman break down what really went down at the summit, why Trump is parroting Putin's talking points on mail-in voting, and how this all points to an accelerating authoritarian project. Plus: federal troops occupy D.C., ICE violence escalates, and MSNBC rebrands to… “MS Now.”

Together at last! Co-hosts Nick Hauselman and Jared Yates Sexton break down Donald Trump's stunning move to seize control of Washington, D.C.'s police force despite the city's crime rate hitting a three-decade low. The guys unpack the dangerous authoritarian precedent, the looming threat to other cities, and why Democrats are failing to push for D.C. statehood. Then, they turn to Trump's upcoming Alaska meeting with Vladimir Putin, where the “deal” on Ukraine sounds more like carving up a real estate portfolio than ending a war. Plus: Tariffs on semiconductors, China's rise, and why America is sliding toward the worst of both Russia and China's systems.

Global industry is stalling at midyear and we look for the soft patch to continue as the trade war bites and global capex growth softens. The Fed looks likely to restart its easing cycle in September. The addition of Stephen Miran to the Fed opens the door to significant reforms, some of which could threaten independence.

Philip Sanderson in conversation with David Eastaugh https://snatchtapes.bandcamp.com/ Storm Bugs are a post-punk band formed in 1978 in Deptford, London, by Philip Sanderson and Steven Ball who had met in the Medway Towns, England. The band have been linked to a number of genres including: cassette culture, industrial music and DIY. Storm Bugs were initially active between 1978–82 and defying gravity reformed in 2001. After moving to London in late 1978 Sanderson wangled out of hours access to the electronic music studio at Goldsmiths College and also purchased a valve Revox reel to reel tape recorder setting up a DIY home studio to annoy the neighbours. Using both these faculties Sanderson recorded much of the Storm Bugs output from 1878 to 1980 with Ball designing the artwork for the releases. The first Storm Bugs release was as part of Snatch 1 - on the Snatch Tapes cassette label. Snatch Tapes was part of the cassette culture scene and also released tapes by David Jackman (later of Organum), and Claire Thomas & Susan Vezey as well as tracks by the Lemon Kittens, Alien Brains, Cultural Amnesia and the Beach Surgeons (led by a young Graham Massey, later of 808 State). Storm Bugs went on to release three cassettes albums on Snatch Tapes: A Safe Substitute (1980), Storm Bugs (1980) and Gift (1981). In 1980 the band released their first vinyl record the Table Matters EP on Loop Records (UK) featuring Cash Wash and Eat Good Beans. In 1981 Storm Bugs released their second single an industrial rockabilly 7-inch called "Metamorphose", on the French L'invitation au Suicide label with this time Ball providing lead vocals. Further recordings were made in 1981/1982 but not released with the band effectively going into hibernation for 20 years. Sanderson and Ball however continued to collaborate on other projects including a short-lived pop experimental band called Swoon Baboon and in 1988 the film Green on the Horizon. Storm Bugs were rediscovered in 2000 when they were included on the bootleg LP I Hate the Pop Group, on Vertical Slum Records. In an attempt to cash in a year later Snatch Tapes reactivated and released a compilation of some of the bands finer moments from the past, entitled Let's Go Outside And Get It Over, this was the start of a re-issue programme that saw much of Storm Bugs original material being rereleased on vinyl. The following year, 2002 rare and previously unreleased recordings were collected by the Fusetron label, and released on an LP called Up The Middle Down The Sides. In the same year the band also released a 4-track EP of new material called The Bugs Are Back on the Austrian label Klanggalerie. In 2006 the German label Vinyl On Demand issued a Snatch Tapes compilation called Snatch Paste and this was followed in 2007 by a Storm Bugs LP entitled Supplementary benefit featuring the two 7 inch singles as well as tracks from the early cassette releases. 2008 saw Car Situations (Nasal Passage) included on the Messthetics Greatest Hiss compilation whilst in 2011 the A Safe Substitute cassette on Snatch Tapes was reissued on red vinyl by Harbinger records. In 2013 the track Cash Wash/Eat Good Beans was included on the 7th and final Anthology of Noise and Electronic Music compilation on Sub Rosa. In 2013 Storm Bugs made their back catalogue available digitally on Bandcamp and released their first new material in ten years the digital single No Nothingness/Triangulation with an accompanying video. Storm Bugs live appearances have been rare. An unadvertised performance was given at Maidstone Art college in 1979 and a further performance in the summer of 1980 in Brenchley Gardens Maidstone, Kent. On that occasion the band included David Jackman on esraj. In 2012 Storm Bugs performed live for the first time in 30 years at the Rammel Weekender in Nottingham alongside other acts such as the New Blockaders and Cheapmachines. Reviewing the Weekender in the Wire Magazine, Storm Bugs's contribution was judged by Derek Walmsley to be "everything that's right about the weekend"
Together at last! Co-hosts Nick Hauselman and Jared Yates Sexton are reunited (and it feels so good).

Then: South Park throws major shade at Paramount over Trump, free speech, and streaming power plays. And yes—Nick needs just a minute to talk about Hulk Hogan.

As trade (hand-shake) deals get made, it is looking increasingly likely that the effective tariff rate is going to settle very close to the 22% rate initially announced on April 2. And yet, the global expansion looks resilient through 1H25. Is the shock just not that big? Is there more fundamental support for growth? Are businesses willing to smooth the shock over time? Are easy financial conditions short-circuiting the shock? Or is it just too soon, with the past flattered by front-loading and a sharp break still to come?

Eine Schwalbe macht vielleicht noch keinen Sommer – ein reisenervöser Thomas Schmitt, der sich „zur Sicherheit“ gleich den ersten Ferienflieger morgens um 05:30 Uhr gebucht hat, um ja nichts von der eigenen, zu erwartenden schlechten Laune des Anreisetags zu verpassen, hingegen schon. „Jetzt ist Urlaub!“ hört man Deutschland aufatmen. Wenn der Bub erst mal wieder am All-inclusive-Buffet steht und Side-Eye macht, wer sich hier wie viele Pancakes gleichzeitig auf den Teller schaufelt – um dann mit wutgeschlitzten Augen den anderen Hotelgästen ihre Nutellavorräte madig zu gucken. Dann, ja DANN ist Urlaub. „Die verrückten Vier auf Achse“ kann Thomas auch allein – und wundert sich sogar noch, warum er die resorteigene Willkommensparade durcheinanderbringt, indem er, durchs Reisefieber gepeinigt als wären Ray Liottas Hubschrauber hinter ihm her, am offiziellen Parkplatz des Hauses vorbeifährt, um dann den Miet-Fiat irgendwo kurz vorm Pool mit quietschenden Reifen und kaltem Schweiß auf der Stirn zum Stehen zu bringen. „Welcome Mr. Schmitt, wir war ihre Anreise? Sie haben ja Nasenbluten!“ Klaas ist ebenfalls im Urlaubsmodus – erkennbar daran, dass er in dieser schönsten Zeit des Jahres eigentlich nicht mehr zwischen Tag- und Schlafmode unterscheidet und seine Entspannung hauptsächlich dadurch zum Ausdruck bringt, in seiner Unterwäsche durch Griechenland zu laufen. Haben die früher in der Antike ja sicher nicht anders gemacht dort – jedenfalls sieht das auf diesen angebröselten Statuen, die überall rumstehen, so aus. Der Einzige, der aktuell sein Nichtstun noch im Büro auslebt, ist Jakob. Muss man sich mal vorstellen: Ausgerechnet er – das menschgewordene Versace-Seidenhemd – hat sich mit den bereits genommenen Urlaubstagen etwas verkalkuliert und muss nun, St.-Tropez-mäßig aufgebrezelt im Matthias-Mangiapane-Look, im Büro tagelang auf seinem fertig gepackten Weekender sitzen. Er muss sich wirklich wahnsinnig beherrschen, nicht aus Versehen doch mal eine E-Mail zu beantworten, oder ans Telefon zu gehen, bis es nächste Woche endlich heißt: Ihr Flug Richtung „Café de Paris“ steht für Sie zum Einstieg bereit. RESCHPEKT! Offenlegung: Diese Folge scheint wirklich absolut entkoppelt von der echten Welt. Als wäre nichts passiert in den letzten zehn Jahren. Aber ist es nicht genau das was wir alle gerade suchen? Ganz und gar „Summer Breeze“ eben – lehnt euch zurück & genießt. Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Together at last! Co-hosts Nick Hauselman and Jared Yates Sexton are reunited (and it feels so good). In this episode of the Muckrake Podcast, Nick and Jared break down newly surfaced evidence related to Jeffrey Epstein, raising fresh questions about who knew what — and when. They explore the disturbing use of torture tactics by DHS and ICE, and how the government is increasingly targeting political opponents through arrests and surveillance. The crisis in Gaza continues to escalate, and the hosts analyze Israel's ongoing actions and global fallout. Finally, they examine the sudden cancellation of Stephen Colbert's show and what it reveals about the current state of media and comedy in a time of rising authoritarianism.

Our global forecast looks for a sharp slowing in growth in the coming months, concentrated in the US. Despite this contrasting with the more benign outlook apparent in risk markets, we see downside risks edging higher on US trade and immigration policies. Recent US fiscal policies should provide some offset but likely less than advertised. Speakers: Bruce Kasman Joseph Lupton This podcast was recorded on 11 July 2025.

In this episode of The Muckrake Podcast, Jared Yates Sexton discusses the horrific tragedy in Texas with floods killing over 100 people, the rise of climate fascism, and how demand for climate and economic justice have to be at the center of a movement fighting authoritarianism. From there, he digs into Elon Musk's proposed "America Party" as an astroturfed attempt to create a party in the thrall of the oligarchical class, but also a possible precursor to multiple parties challenging our current duopolistic system. The stunt in Los Angeles with federal troops driving tanks gets talked about, as well as the Department of Justice declaring there is no Jeffrey Epstein client list.

We published our midyear outlook this week, highlighting expectations for a significant stagflationary shift in 2H25 and our limited confidence in forecasting the magnitude of this shift. We expect global GDP growth to fall well below potential, while the US tariff shock is expected to increase overall global inflation. Despite the uncertainty, we are observing a shift in market signals away from the narrative of weaker growth and rising inflation. One key message from the markets is a growing conviction in the likelihood of near-term Fed easing. We see the risk of a September easing as high, contingent upon further evidence of softening in the US labor markets. Speakers: Bruce Kasman Joseph Lupton This podcast was recorded on 27 June 2025.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman break down the latest U.S. attack on Iran, where Trump ordered a dozen massive bombs dropped on nuclear sites, then claimed it wasn't war - just “MIGA.” The Pentagon admits they don't even know where the uranium is.

Trump's threats toward Iran have escalated from incoherent to terrifying—with evacuation warnings, “we're at war” rhetoric, and reports he's greenlit an attack. All while taking policy cues from Fox News segments. Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman break down how the right-wing infotainment complex is driving foreign policy in real time and why this is sparking a telling schism in American politics. We dig into the MAGA isolationist response—from Tulsi Gabbard downplaying Iran's capabilities to Tucker Carlson absolutely dismantling Ted Cruz—and what it reveals about the realignment on the right. There's more at stake here than just another war: this is about who gets to decide what America is, and who we kill for it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The first half is tracking roughly in line with our trend-like outlook just ahead of the US election last year. However, 2H25 should deliver a very different picture if our forecast is right. Assessing risks ahead of such an anticipated slowing is difficult but this does not stop us from debating. Central banks are leaning dovish in light of the downside growth risks, with the exception of the Fed facing upside tariff-related inflation risks. The Mideast war adds a new supply shock to complicate the forecast even further. Speakers: Bruce Kasman Joseph Lupton This podcast was recorded on 20 June 2025.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman break down one of the largest protest days in American history and why the media refuses to treat it like the political earthquake it is.
