The Atlantic's Michael Powell joins the fellas to discuss the DSA's growing influence, the Democratic Party's socialist newcomers, and Donald Trump's prospects for eternal salvation.
I do wonder what the answer is to the undocumented immigration problem. Do we just sort of pretend that it doesn't exist? That's the only alternative as any amnesty would just create a strong pull effect for people looking to hop the border. I read on CNN today that there's already a migrant caravan on its way through Mexico that began based on the mere speculation that Democrats would take Congress. It's interesting that in my business doing consulting for manufacturing that about half the time I make a recommendation for automation the owner will respond that he can "just hire 20 illegals for half that amount" and he's not wrong. When that famous story of the Haitian TPS recipients being the only people "willing to work" at the factory in Springfield, I knew right away what kind of place it'd be (complete shithole). People can forego expensive American labor in 1 of 2 ways: you can automate, or you can bypass the costs of a legitimate work force. Matt being the most libertarian of the three and therefore more likely to consider (I assume) that it's legitimate for labor to follow capital, I'm genuinely curious what he'd consider a fair solution.
I can't imagine that the CA wealth tax would ever pass constitutional muster, but I'm ignorant as to how the justices would rule it unconstitutional. Here in Virginia, we have a personal property tax that we pay twice a year, which is based on the theoretical value of your car. Of course, the poors are generally exempted from paying it. But it's not THAT much different from taxing unrealized assets. I didn't just sell my Subaru for $23,000, but I got taxed as if I did.
Not sure what was the point in inviting Powell on this episode. He hardly said a word, and the little he said was basically nodding in agreement with y’all.
If I never have to listen to Michael read out his Claud output again it’ll be too soon. And that’s coming from someone who paid for my subscription this year with Andrew’s winnings….
The Park Slope Co-Op BDS segment from “The Daily Show” holds up! (Mentioned by Moynihan about 10 min into the episode.) Archive.org has cobbled it together: https://archive.org/details/COM_20120328_060000_The_Daily_Show_With_Jon_Stewart/start/780/end/840
So…. you’ve had on a flock of Siegels 😏 ?
There was a guest this episode?
Moynihan.

Greencard to all law abiding aliens who don't beg or try to get welfare. And when it comes to being a libertarian Matt is a squish compared to Kmele
The DSA is an antisemitic organization. Mamdani is an antisemite, as are DAC, Valdez, the woman from Colorado, and El-Sayed.
His book Canyon Dreams is one of the best books written about basketball..didn't realize he wrote for the Atlantic or vice versa..
Disappointed that this isn't the great British film director who did A Matter of Life and Death, the Red Shoes and Peeping Tom.
Giving props for a mid diss and a congressman who lost by 9 is gay and retarded

I thought we were free from MIDTEEEEEEEEEEERRRRM MADNESSSSSS but no.

i would love to see a 5th/Fat Electrician show. I think Moynihan and him would chop it up well
One of my favorite content creators. That guy has inspired me in the classroom.
He is pretty great. I think they would have hilarious and nerdy convos. Its not the usual thing, but I think they would have fun with it
I’m sure he would contribute to an episode. Recently listened to him as a guest on Moderm Wisdom
Not surprised that Gríma Wormtongue was named President Saruman's Chief of Staff.
At 44 minutes, the guys ask how DJT can say one thing to Ross Douthat and then within the hour move Stephen Miller up to CoS.
Matt’s response is “he just says shit”
Which I think is half correct, the other half is “he says what he thinks his audience wants to hear” I think he told Ross what he wanted Ross to hear.
Impeach Trump. Why would it be a bad idea? See what falls out from investigation. That is why America voted blue.
Then we’d have Vance. No more impeachments. Enough already. The Dems need to pry away Republicans to be able to override Trump vetoes.
