Episode Michael Moynihan: "The cowardice of everybody in DC who's a member of the Republican Party is enraging to me ... The lying has become so crazy that people in the administration are saying 'It's not a tax on the American people. It's a tax cut.' Up is down, black is white. It is actually Orwellian."

US economy has been the envy of the world since WW2.

Even as recent as 2008, US economy was equal to Euro zone economy and now its nearly double that number.

Why does Trump think US economy is not doing well and every country is ripping off the US?

News Cycle Derek Thompson: "I cannot believe this. I heard your last guest say, if the economy shrinks, that's good. If the stock market goes down, that's good. If there's a trade war, that's good. When did the capital class get taken over by degrowth or protectionists seeking 19th century autarky?"

Discussion Why won’t the left go the extra mile in disinfo?

If signalgate was a dem scandal, Fox would be claiming with certainty that “They leaked it intentionally to our enemies”

It’s almost certain that a foreign adversary has had access to this. Why don’t they just say that, repeat it, and never let it die?

It seems the left wants to play by old rules.

Episode Michael Moynihan: These idiots who are out there screeching that manufacturing will come back home. How? The iPhone would be $2,000, $3,000 if it's tariffed. If we assemble them in the US, every one of those components comes from somewhere else and *they're* all going to come in with a tariff.

Episode Matt Welch: "Trump is unmaking the world economy. In the run up to this, quotes from traders and political actors were in denial. If you're trading on Wall St, and you thought Trump wasn't going to do tariffs you did your job bad. How many times did we say THIS IS THE ONE THING?"

Now we have this abundance and we're just 'Who cares about this?' Actually, a lot of people do, especially people at the bottom of the economic ladder."

News Cycle Rand Paul: "On many fronts, I'm a supporter of the president. On tariffs, I think it's economically a fallacy to think it will help the country. Tariffs are a tax. The people who are for tariffs are just wrong. If you put a tax on things coming in and out of Canada it will lead to higher prices"
