923 - The Banks Are Out of Money feat. Dave Weigel (4/7/25)
🕑 Added 2025-04-08 06:05:04 +0000 UTCSemafor 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.

We don't need elections, we just need to handle things like Czar Nicolas. In a basement. And keep the jewels.
