Description

In addition to the global energy shock brought on by Trump's war, mortgage rates are surging, and labor costs and prices are rising. And Republicans don't seem to have a plan except to spend more, blame trans kids, and feed Trump's megalomania by allowing him to put his ugly signature on our currency. Plus, JD thinks Americans are stupid, the gap between Bibi's and Trump's objectives vis-à-vis Iran continues to widen, and where is Marco Rubio? Michael Steele joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.

Michael Steele is one of the very few people I've seen talk about this stuff who might actually be angry enough. We need more people like Michael Steele.

I lost all respect for any man who heard the “grab ‘em by the 🙀” back in 2016 and still voted 🍊 anyway. This conversation between Tim and Michael Steele is so cathartic
