No Tacos For Tyrants

In this scorched-earth audio letter, Matt lets loose on Donald Trump with a barrage of profanity-laced truth bombs, insults, and righteous contempt. It’s a cathartic, venomous farewell to the most malignant sack of narcissism ever to waddle through the halls of American power — a eulogy in advance. Not for the faint of heart. Definitely for the fed-up.

Matt also explains why this is his last episode for now, so farwell for now! We'll always have Paris.

Trump has turned Los Angeles into a test site for tyranny, deploying the National Guard and U.S. Marines against American civilians. Peaceful protestors are being met with military force, ICE is sweeping up immigrants for deportation quotas, and the Constitution is being bent past its breaking point. This is not hypothetical. This is the beginning.

Your least favorite plutocrat and least favorite autocrat are fighting like angry kids on the playground, and we here at No Tacos For Tyrant at here for it! This episode is entirely devoted to Trump and Elon Musk's hilariously predictable falling-out, including hot takes from AOC and Steve Bannon, and Greg Gutfeld on Fox trying to explain how sometimes besties screw each their friend's girlfriend but it's all ok. 

And enjoy a song I produced called, also, Big Beautiful Breakup!

Lyrics, which are mine, as opposed to the music and singing, which is entirely AI. Some of the lines are coming from Trump, some from Elon, some are sentiments from both.

You flew too close with your ketamine drip,

Now you’re shakin’ on X with a leaky dick

Epstein files? I only dropped a name,

Then you flinched like a rat when they mentioned his plane.

Big beautiful breakup, like watching Starship explode

From “genius” to junkie, you’re an internet toad

Your car sales tank, people point and laugh

You try to buy respect, but I’m the real golden calf!

You begged me for money when your base went dry,

Now you whine on Truth Social with a bullshit cry.

I bankrolled your grift, helped build the parade,

Now you’re mad about the bill, sure, it’s quite a charade. 

Big, beautiful breakup—this ain’t just beef,

It’s a bromance divorce with receipts underneath

We were golden kings, but you’re just spray tans and scams

Hah, you launched a car, I launched a bigly nation, man!
 

You pissed on stage, called it “disruptive flow,”

Bro, that’s not genius—it’s just coke and blow.

You shat in your diaper, don’t lie we all know

You’re outta your depth, I’m runnin’ the next IPO. 

Big, beautiful breakup—no way back,

It’s a PR implosion in a red hat stack.

From strangers to besties to internet ghosts,

We’re the shitbags the world loves to hate the most."

Welcome to Episode 25 (supersized!) where we take a long, spicy look at the game theory behind Trump’s tariff obsession and ask the question: does he even know what game he’s playing? Spoiler: No. We unpack how one man’s pathological need not to be mocked might actually shape global trade policy. Also: Marco Rubio wants to block visas over Israel criticism, Trump’s planning a master surveillance database for Americans, and Senator Joni Ernst is unconcerned about people dying. 

Then we dive into the AI tidal wave and why our gerontocratic government is roughly as prepared as a drunk tourist in a tsunami to deal with it. We talk Tesla, OnlyFans, and the future of infinite creative, AGI, and the increasing need for income redistribution. Plus: three good things, including a Canadian passport, a tech-bro-skewering film from the guy behind Succession, and a French video game so moving you’ll forget you live in a collapsing empire. It’s our 25th episode, Taco Nation — which means we're now statistically longer-lasting than 99% of podcasts. So tell a friend, tell an enemy, tell your AI therapist. Just don’t tell Trump — he’ll slap a tariff on tacos out of spite.

Elon Musk claims he's pulling back from politics, but somehow keeps popping up everywhere from Romanian elections to meetings with Trump about importing Afrikaners. Meanwhile, Tesla's public image is faceplanting harder than Dogecoin during a recession. In this episode, we dive deep into the chaos with Muskwatch™, the clown car of crypto crooks, and Trump’s suspiciously convenient Vietnam golf course deal.

We also take a spin through America’s gerontocracy, introduce a new recurring segment, and hand out the coveted Sea Squirt of the Week award. Join us as we drag the powerful, mock the absurd, and try not to scream into the void. It's Episode 24: The Clown Car of Corruption Has No Brakes.

Matt takes on Donald Trump's latest petty insults directed at music legends Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen, highlighting the former president's increasingly bizarre and thin-skinned outbursts. He also examines a surreal pitch reportedly linked to Kristi Noem's DHS: a patriotic reality TV show where immigrants compete in challenges to win U.S. citizenship—a uniquely MAGA-era blend of policy and entertainment.

Matt then breaks down the troubling details of the GOP's new budget proposal, unpacking the accounting tricks Republicans are using to hide trillions in tax cuts aimed at the wealthy. Finally, he offers some frank commentary on the state of the Democratic Party, exploring why its leadership continues to fall short in the face of ongoing Republican dysfunction, before moving onto a Three Good Things segment.

This week on No Tacos for Tyrants, Matt dives into the rotting core of Trumpworld, where corruption isn’t a bug—it’s the entire business model. From meme coin scams to crypto cronies getting sweetheart deals, it’s clear the new American dream is grifting your way into the inner circle. Regulatory agencies are folding like lawn chairs, and billionaires are buying their way out of trouble by bankrolling the president’s pet projects. The swamp isn’t being drained—it’s being franchised.

Meanwhile, the hypocrisy machine is running full throttle. Trump’s cozying up to foreign monarchies, accepting luxury jets like party favors, and floating ideas like suspending habeas corpus as if civil liberties are just another inconvenience. Refugees of color are left to rot while white South Africans get VIP treatment, and critics like Hasan Piker are getting grilled at the border for their political beliefs. The throughline? Power protecting itself, dissent getting punished, and democracy being auctioned off one favor at a time.

I'm on vacation for a couple weeks, so I pre-recorded a couple of episodes unrelated to my normal news and politics content! 

Do you love JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit, but have been intimidated by the Silmarillion? Then this is your series! I love the Silmarillion and I simplify it for you here without losing the core of its multiple stories.

In Part 1, we cover the creation of the universe and the original rebel - Melkor - and then go through some of the major 'gods' of Tolkien's world, all of which is setting us up for the epic and tragic mythology that follows.

In this deeply personal episode, Matt pays tribute to his late father Arpad Mihaly — a Hungarian revolutionary, immigrant, and entrepreneur. Matt traces his father's journey from war-torn Transylvania to Canadian gold mines, eventually arriving in the United States where he built a life defined by relentless work ethic and improbable success, though it's a life that ended recently after years of sad decline.

But it wouldn’t be No Tacos For Tyrants without a few well-aimed Molotovs! After honoring his dad, Matt tears into Trump’s administration, including national security leaks and Jerome Powell-firing fantasies and celebrates Elon's announcement today that he'd be dialing back his work in the government some.
