Cathy interviews Bloomberg Economist Kathryn Anne Edwards about the coming, completely avoidable, recession. In no universe should the U.S. go from under 4% unemployment to staring down a recession in less than 100 days.

Kathryn describes how Donald Trump manufactured a recession through tariffs, and explains how useless massive tax cuts over the last 20 years have given us nothing but a broken society, national debt that's trending in the wrong direction, and non-solutions to market death with almost nothing in return for the vast majority of Americans. And their next target is Social Security and Medicare. Republicans are setting the stage to gut thew most popular and successful government program in history, all for yet another useless tax cut for the rich.

In spite of this, Kathryn preaches optimism, saying the only victory for Trump and Elon Musk is for people to give up on a better future. This is why Trump is such a fan of prefacing his horrible policies by saying, "what do you have to lose?" He knows so many people have lost faith that things can get better. But nothing they are instituting cannot be undone, we just have to finally agree to fix our problems. We are three bills away from a thriving society.

All for less than the price of a cup of coffee...

Cathy and Troy break down the horrifying prospect of Donald Trump using U.S. troops to expel Palestinians from Gaza in order to make way for hotels. He hinted at it on the campaign trail. Could Trump Tower Gaza be coming? And with it WW3 and armageddon, as a battle of literally Biblical proportions would be in store with every Muslim nation on earth arming up to expel the Americans from the holy land?

Trump signals the rule of law is dead with a Napoleon quote just in time for talks with Russia, as JD Vance humiliates himself and the United States with a god awful speech to European leaders at Munich.

And Europe holds an emergency meeting to discuss what to do about a belligerent Trump administration allied with Russia (which even Russia doesn't want) after Trump refuses to allow any European delegation to the Ukraine peace talks. Zelensky makes it clear he won't recognize the results and instead calls for the creation of an Army of Europe.

And we debunk some of the more ridiculous claims made by the bootlickers following along as DOGE tears apart the U.S. government to benefit Elon. What does Elon have on Donald Trump?

Cathy and Troy react to the stunning developments in D.C. as an unknown cadre of Elon Musk cronies sieze control of the U.S. Treasury, take over payment servers controlling trillions of dollars of U.S. assets, and shut down global aid fund USAID. This is a coup of the richest man on earth being given permission to infiltrate and corrupt the United States government at will.

Trump's tariff wars kick off in earnest as Canada hardens the border and looks to Europe for their future, having seen enough of what it means to partner with the United States. At the last minute Trump delays tariffs with Mexico, demonstrating what it means to rule by chaos.

And after firing the FAA director and trimming down air traffic control even beyond critically low levels, planes are starting to fall out of the sky.

American society has begun to crumble. Where will all this lead.
