  • Tariffs are part of Trump's big plan to save US dollar dominance. Will it work?
    US President Donald Trump wants to use tariffs as part of a plan to save the dominance of the dollar as the global reserve currency. His top economic advisor Stephen Miran outlined the Trump administration's strategy to force other countries to pay the USA to maintain its imperial financial and military order. Ben Norton explains the idea behind the hypothetical "Mar-a-Lago Accord".

  • Bad Hasbara 97: Down With The Glickness, with Brace Belden

    Matt and Daniel are joined by returning champion Brace Belden (TrueAnon) to examine Betar’s one-time figurehead - the oddly shaped Ross Glick - as well as Brace’s aversion to the Ivy League and whether Tarantino’s Bear Jew presupposes the existence of twink and otter Jews.

  • Jon Stewart on Trump's Botched Tariff Rollout & Market Meltdown | Rahm Emanuel

    Jon Stewart on the fallout from Trump's tariffs, a stock market in a near-recession free fall, and the GOP's spin of the economic turmoil as "no biggie."

    Rahm Emanuel, former ambassador to Japan under Biden and a current advisor at investment-banking firm Centerview Partners, joins Jon Stewart to talk about the United States’ international trade predicament in the wake of Trump’s tariffs. They discuss why it’s one of the most “reckless” things done by a president, why he thinks these policies gave China a “get-out-of-jail-free” card, his experience under the Obama administration, and why he believes a Democratic governor could be the one to turn the party around.

  • 923 - The Banks Are Out of Money feat. Dave Weigel (4/7/25)
    Semafor reporter Dave Weigel returns to the show to look at the political angles to Trump’s tariff regime and the global economic shocks. We discuss the various attempts to backfill justifications, responses from GOP and Democrats, and how this is all somehow about wokeness and masculinity or something. We also discuss last week’s special election in Wisconsin, and what it can tell us about Trump (and Elon)’s strength going forward.

  • Civ 1919: Treaty of Versailles pt2
    The biggest player at the peace conference, Woodrow Wilson, wants a League of Nations, which in the age of imperialism, is a rather underdeveloped idea. The other problem is, how to continue colonialism but with a nicer name? And so were invented the Mandates.

  • Why has the theatre interval gone out of style?

    For the past century the interval has been as much a part of the theatre experience as the curtain call and the standing ovation. So why is it disappearing? And how will our bladders cope?

    • Tariffs are as old as the Roman Empire

      Global markets are reeling in response to US President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, but the tariff itself is nothing new. The ancient Romans applied duties to imports from the East - including incense, spices and jewels - designed to generate vast amounts of government revenue. But Roman tariffs also created problems - from price inflation to the emergence of black markets.
