Hey folks,
Joe Walsh and I dissect the breaking news: the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s tariffs as unconstitutional. Just like that. The centerpiece of his economic agenda? Gone. We got fired up, and yeah—we went deep on what this actually means for your wallet, for Congress, and for the rot at the center of our politics right now.
Here’s what we got into:
[00:01:07] We break down the avalanche of bad news hitting Trump at once—GDP sinking, inflation rising, Epstein files back in the headlines—and why this ruling lands at the worst possible time for him.
[00:02:20] Joe unloads: tariffs were never constitutional. Congress knew it. They looked the other way. The Supreme Court did what Republicans refused to do.
[00:05:41] We name names—Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh—and talk about the dangerous reality of political operatives in robes. Plus: why even some conservative justices drew a line here.
[00:14:36] The core truth: tariffs are taxes. Kings levy taxes. Congress does it in a democracy. That’s the whole point.
[00:36:22] The bigger picture—why Democrats can’t just wait for Trump to implode. If we want to win in 2028, we have to actually improve people’s lives in ways they feel every single day.
We also got into Epstein accountability, the corruption class protecting itself, why voters oscillate between parties, and what Democrats keep getting wrong about connecting with working people. It’s not just about beating Trump. It’s about breaking the cycle that created him. If you’re exhausted by the chaos but still believe we can build something better—this conversation is for you.
And if you value honest, unfiltered conversations like this—help me keep them going.
