About this episode

The episode discusses Mark Carney's neoliberal approach and analyzes Trump's approval ratings amidst rising gas prices.

Then we checked Trump’s approval numbers, where even Republicans are starting to feel the gas prices, though 84% are still on board, which is somehow both unsurprising and completely bonkers.
