Show notes
Former Senator Phil Gramm joins to defend capitalism's record, arguing that the Industrial Revolution improved lives, the New Deal prolonged the Depression, and modern welfare undermines work. He supports Keynesian stimulus in theory—but only if governments also run surpluses, which he says they never do. Plus, Gaza aid failures, Macron's recognition of Palestine, and why peace requires clear-eyed power dynamics, not symbolic gestures. And in The Spiel: Benjamin Crump returns to the spotlight in a viral police beating case, and renewed concern over noose reports reveals our reflex to dramatize the ambiguous. Produced by Corey Wara
