2025/03/06

Chris Mills Rodrigo, Managing Editor of Inequality.org, discusses Trump's March 2025 speech to Congress, a speech rife with false information. The speech, intended to be a celebration of the first 40 days of his takeover of power, and an outline of the plans for the next year, was what Mills Rodrigo calls a "laundry list of programs which on first listen might seem like wasteful spending, but are critical of saving a lot of lives both here and abroad." He also discusses the failure of Democrats to

From Y2K and cable TV to pro wrestling and Jerry Springer, on today’s show we relish in all the lowbrow joys of the year 1999.
