The E. Jean Carroll decision against Trump and what does this and the rest of the court cases mean for Trump’s candidacy
Making sense of America’s “vibe-cession” and disinflation
Claudine Gay’s resignation as Harvard’s president, and the Right’s strange relationship to the Ivy League
Where does China’s economy go next?
Unpacking the calls to ban Germany’s right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
Why is the UK trying to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda?
The Super Bowl meets the Taylor Swift-industrial complex
That ended as abruptly as the Detroit Lions' season.
Dang! where's the rest of it?! Missed you two!
Glad you’re back!
Thank you for the conversation on China..
Did a new student upload this episode? Great stuff as usual.
Did this just cut out at the end? Or is it my TH-cam only?
It cut out for all of us! We need a hour show!
I enjoy your thoughts... but not enough to tolerate monaural ones.
What happened to the rest of this?
Chile is screwed, they don't have a single drop of oil or gas, there's plenty of lithium all over the planet. And the copper need for EVs is overstated.
Why is only one audio channel working?
I only had one ear bud in, wtf where is the audio? Seems to end mid stream also
How trite to conclude that 18-30 year olds won't support Biden because he might fall and isn't exciting. ARE YOU JOKING?
Isreal seems like it might be a bigger issue for young people. Bidens Isreal policy is not very popular among that age group
Yeah, maybe. @@lukegardner6917
They are out of touch with reality. Not a single mention of endless wars and genocide in Gaza. They must get their news from the MSM. I didn't get to hear the part on Germany but I didn't notice Sahra Wagenknecht being mentioned, who is putting together what is quite possibly a considerable new force in German politics. These two are out of touch because they are indoctrinated by what is taght in western academia. The civilisation behind it is collapsing and with it, its false narrative. They are in a state of confusion and that is what we just listened to.
My kids are taught equity and fair play. They do not see it in available, presented choices.
They're not sociologists, on this topic, nor many others. Note Mark says 20% youth unemployment is common for western nations... like that's not a problem.
Seriously devoted a second to this?
Tesla's have Caryoke. Just saying...
These folk's are the perfect example of the middle class. Seeing the world from there ivory tower.
We aren't a direct democracy, and we don't always let the public make a decision via a popularity contest. Since we all know that, why are we almost complaining about something being anti-democratic? Republicans always mention that we're not a democracy we're a republic.
There seems to be some contention about what that means, if we're democratic, or not. And similarly but ignored,
There seems to be some contention about if we're capitalism, or not.
Republicans operate on hypocrisy. This is how their world functions. For example, saying we are a republic and not a democracy (even though a republic is a type of democracy), and then when something doesn't go their way they complain about how democracy is dying. Or how they complain about government spending on welfare, but they are on welfare themselves.
The entire political viewpoint of maga republicans is incoherent and hypocritical.
This needs to be a slightly longer show !
I presume Biden will not debate Trump , as they won't even let him appear in public as president . How do you campain this way ?
If he does that Trump wins.
Debates between presidential candidates only began in 1960. The United States has proven this is pretty worthless.
Trump doesn't debate people, he answers questions and argmuents with insults and ramblings that just serve to make his voters like him more no matter what he says. He literally got praise from people for his ridiculous "water stops magnets from working" nonsense, there is nothing he could ever say or do that would truly make his cult not vote for him. That means there is no benefit or reason to debate trump.
jezus they are going off the rails now, this is like total Republican crap talk, they are going after him... no that is just the law, he is a criminal
he's a criminal and an israeli asset, a traitor as well, and he still is ahead of Biden. Make of that what you will.
