S2 Ep1049: James Comey: Uncomfortably Numb 52:59

1d ago52:59

52:59

Public corruption used to be a congressman hiding $90,000 in his freezer. Now, we have a president taking "me time" to rake in $40 million from a Chinese crypto billionaire who was facing fraud charges under POTUS 46. And that's just a drop in the bucket of some of Trump's recent haul. Of course, today's FBI will do nothing about it, and his buddie…

67 - Make Today Amazing: Dale Majors on 4,000 Days of Journaling 29:53

2d ago29:53

29:53

Entrepreneur and adventurer Dale Majors has kept a daily journal for more than 4,000 consecutive days (that's nearly 11 years!) using Day One. In this episode, he shares how a simple streak turned into a life-changing habit—one that brings clarity, presence, and intention to everything from running a business to raising six kids. Dale opens up abou…

S2 Ep1048: Jonathan Chait: House GOP Doesn't Care How Bad the Bill Is 1:06:45

1d ago1:06:45

1:06:45

Republicans moved at such lightning speed that even they don't know how many people would lose health insurance— or how much they'd be spiking the deficit with their highly risky and big, ugly turd of a bill. And they don't care because they're cosmically committed to stopping the government from making rich people pay for healthcare for people who…

Music as Medicine: Jenny Chen, Tyler Jorgensen, & Theresa Allison 42:03

3d ago42:03

42:03

As you know, dear listeners, I love music. We start each podcast with a song in part to shift the frame, taking people out of their academic selves and into a more informal conversation. Well, today’s guests love music at least as much if not more than me, and they each make a strong case for music as medicine. Jenny Chen is a palliative care fello…

S2 Ep1047: Susan Glasser: American in Name Only 51:14

21h ago51:14

51:14

On deportations and on foreign policy, the Trump administration is swapping out American values and violating everything the U.S. has stood for in exchange for kleptocracy and transactionalism with the world's worst tyrants. But at the same time, Trump can't even seem to grasp that Putin has been waging war for decades to accomplish his goals and i…

1:13:54

What a difference a good night’s rest makes, folks! Josh finally got his 8 hours and woke up motivated, frustrated, and (still) de-hydrated…ready to bring you the news. And boy was there ever some news to bring. The Mexican Naval Fleet is sinking in Brooklyn Harbor. Semen Terrorists are at large. And the Lunch Ladies are giving out FREE DESSERT. Ye…

S2 Ep1046: David French: Schizo-in-Chief 1:11:59

3d ago1:11:59

1:11:59

One day Trump sounds like Bernie promising the government will provide for everything. Then the next, he's like Paul Ryan the belt-tightener, prepping for austerity. And Code Pink was the order of the day when Mr. Tough Guy was in Saudi Arabia—attacking the foreign policy of the United States in the land of the 9/11 hijackers. Plus, Trump's SCOTUS …

S2 Ep1045: Bill Kristol: A New Gilded Age 52:35

3d ago52:35

52:35

No, the Trump administration is not focused on the forgotten man or bringing industrial jobs back. Instead, the real estate developer is handing out threats left and right—fresh off his Middle East trip, where he scored numerous deals with Islamofascists for himself, his family, and his cronies. And no matter what he says, the 'Palace in the Sky' i…

S2 Ep1044: Peter Hamby: All in Service of Kissing Trump's Ass 1:26:38

8d ago1:26:38

1:26:38

MAGA is having a performative tantrum calling for James Comey to be jailed over a seashell meme because the daily job of Trump's supporters and Cabinet members is to try to warm his heart—that includes Kristi Noem changing her face and Tulsi firing top intel officials because they told the White House the truth it doesn't want to hear. Meanwhile, f…

S2 Ep1043: Michael Weiss: All Bribes Accepted 52:04

10d ago52:04

52:04

American taxpayers may have flown Donald Trump to the Middle East, but he's not there to negotiate on behalf of our strategic or national interests—he's on the prowl for goodies, and happy to make policy changes in return. Like, the new Syrian president offering a Trump Tower in Damascus: Zap, sanctions on Syria are over. Or the jumbo jet-giving Qa…

Nudges for Prognosis and Comfort Care in the ICU: Kate Courtright, Scott Halpern, & Jaspal Singh 48:27

Our guests are all trained in critical care: Kate Courtright, Scott Halpern, and Jaspal Singh. Kate and Scott have additional training in palliative medicine. To start. we review: What is a nudge? Also called behavioral interventions, heuris…

S2 Ep1042: Leah Litman and Andrew Egger: Grievance All the Way Down 1:05:39

11d ago1:05:39

1:05:39

The five men on the Supreme Court are so easily triggered and seem to be making law based on their emotional needs. Meanwhile, they also see discrimination in some of the best things about America—like equality or the First Amendment's Establishment Clause. And at the White House, the press office got totally bored with the worshipful questions fro…

S2 Ep1041: Justin Wolfers: Trump's Centrally Planned Economy 56:11

11d ago56:11

56:11

China sounds downright Reaganesque and is acting like a more stable, attractive trading partner than the country that launched a trade war. And even though Trump loves play-acting businessman, and calling CEOs by their first name, no one on Wall Street and no one who studies economics likes his continuing tariffs—they know they hurt American compan…

S2 Ep1040: Bill Kristol: A Golden 747 from Hamas's Sugar Daddy 55:23

12d ago55:23

55:23

Trump can't abide flying around in crusty, old Air Force One. Qatar—funder of both Hamas and the leading U.S. college Gaza protest group—just happens to have a spare, pimped-out 747 lying around, which they'd like to gift to Trump so he can use that instead. Pay no attention to the complete hypocrisy of an administration that says that students pro…

S2 Ep1039: Amanda Carpenter: MAGA's Bad Week 59:29

15d ago59:29

59:29

First, the Vatican chose a Bulwark pope, not an AR-15 loving, immigrant-hating pope. Then, in a major blow to Steve Bannon, Trump pulled his nominee for U.S. attorney in D.C.—forcing the avid TV watcher in the Oval Office to turn to Fox News for the 23rd time to help fill his administration—this time with Jeanine Pirro. And in the North Carolina Su…

51:02

Protest is the new brunch again. We're witnessing historic levels of pro-democracy grassroots engagement across a broad-based movement of everyday people. The leaders of Indivisible join Tim to discuss how the movement needs to stay focused on what it agrees on— no kings—and to save ideological disputes for another day. Plus, it also needs to get m…

We’ve covered psychedelics on the podcast before—first in 2019 with Ira Byock, where we explored their potential role in medicine, and then again in 2023 with Stacy Fischer, Brian Anderson, and Theora Cimino, focusing on the reasons to approach psychedelic use in patients with caution. In today’s episode, we’re taking a closer look at the current s…

S2 Ep1037: Katie Phang and Greg Casar: Trump & Co Are the Real Flag Burners 57:34

17d ago57:34

57:34

The Supreme Court is working hard to tend to Mr. Presidential Immunity's wounds because he just can't abide lower federal court judges telling him he can't kick trans people out of the military, or that the 14th Amendment is a real thing. Meanwhile, Kristi Noem is defiling her own birthright citizenship by kidnapping people and sending them to a fo…

S2 Ep1036: Jonathan V. Last: An Economic Tsunami Is Coming 1:11:50

18d ago1:11:50

1:11:50

Because Donald Trump's stupid trade embargo has us reading shipping charts, we now know that 40% of containership traffic between Asia and the U.S. has been canceled. That means a shortage of consumer goods, which will push prices higher. At the same time, the business environment is too unpredictable for companies to plan. Meanwhile, Trump is reor…

S2 Ep1035: Bill Kristol: A Reckless, Tin-Pot President 49:19

19d ago49:19

49:19

Trump 2.0 is showing so little concern for his political standing that even Fox made primetime room for Karl Rove to vent about how he's failing at the fundamentals. Our aspiring Gaddafi doesn't care that tariffs aren't popular or that he sounds like Mr. Scrooge when he says kids should have fewer toys. And while belt-tightening is good enough for …

S2 Ep1034: Derek Thompson: Trump's War on Dolls 1:05:19

22d ago1:05:19

1:05:19

Just imagine Fox's histrionics if a President AOC had said that American kids have too many dolls and that she's raising the price on them. Now the supposedly pro-family administration is doubling down on 'just pay more’ for toys, while it waits for China to blink on tariffs—an unlikely event given that it makes a lot of the things the world needs …

50:12

Marco Rubio was supposed to be one of the only adults in the room, and now he's become a shell of himself executing Trump's unwinding of the US role in the world. Meanwhile, Pam Bondi just can't keep her blubbering sycophancy under wraps. Plus, Mike Waltz's ouster at NSA, our shakedown of Ukraine with a minerals deal, Trump's pettiness is getting l…

HIV, Aging, and Palliative Care: Peter Selwyn and Meredith Greene 48:59

48:59

Peter Selwyn, one of today’s guests, has been caring for people living with HIV for over 40 years. In that time, care of people with HIV has changed dramatically. Initially, there was no treatment, then treatments with marginal efficacy, complex schedules, and a tremendous burden of side effects and drug-drug interactions. The average age at death …

For 80 years, the United States built strong economic, military, and political alliances around the world.

The markets may be hanging in there but they also held strong in early 2020—right up until Covid hit New York. Meanwhile, tariffs are driving consumer confidence down, firms are talking about cutting back on hiring and investments, and Goldman Sachs is predicting that the U.S. will have the highest inflation and lowest growth of any developed econo…

S2 Ep1030: Bill Kristol: Creepy and Wrong 49:46

26d ago49:46

49:46

The Trump administration keeps showing it's sooo tough on immigration that it deported three U.S. citizen children, arrested the wife of a member of the Coast Guard because her visa expired, and perp-walked an allegedly immigrant-concealing Wisconsin judge in handcuffs—instead of showing her the kind of deference Trump received over the course of h…

Since this country's founding, we have been tested. And the Americans before us somehow stood up and fought the good fight. We can't be the generation that loses it all 249 years into this experiment. But that doesn't mean we can't laugh about the stupid clowns—like Trump showing once again that he has no idea how tariffs work. Plus, RFK's dangerou…
