In this episode of the No Pill podcast, we dive into the political and economic landscape with a focus on the recent controversy involving Donald Trump and Thomas Massie. We explore the online uproar following Trump's criticism of Massie and the broader implications of this political spat. We discuss the House's recent passage of a spending bill to avert a government shutdown and the ensuing debate in the Senate, highlighting the complex dynamics between Republicans and Democrats.

Thomas Massie provides his perspective on the so-called "fake fight" in Congress, where he argues that the spending bill is a pre-arranged deal between Republicans and Democrats, with no real conservative agenda at play. We delve into Massie's critique of the fiscal responsibility act and the ongoing budgetary maneuvers in Congress.

We also explore the economic strategies under the Trump administration, including the controversial use of tariffs and interest rate manipulation, as well as the potential impact on the housing market. The episode examines the FHA mortgage program and the looming threat of a subprime bubble, questioning the sustainability of current housing policies.

Finally, we touch on the broader political landscape, including the actions of the Trump administration and the ongoing challenges in holding political figures accountable. We discuss the need for more decisive action against political corruption and the limitations of current political strategies.
