"Trump's Got It Wrong. It's An American Diplomatic Triumph."

Dave Troy, publisher of "America 2.0," joins Joe and Alex to look under the surface at what Elon and Trump are doing. What's Elon's endgame - and is there any way to stop it? How Project 2025 is just a small piece of the puzzle - what's "Project Russia" and why is it a MUCH bigger threat? And why do the crypto-bros keep attacking the dollar? And what should the pro-democracy movement do about all of this? Read Dave's work at America 2.0 at https://america2.news/.

Kristin Brey and Maya May ask "What will it take for us to survive the next four years?" Asking yourself the same question? Catch up now on their conversation about the broligarchy, Wisconsin's hugely consequential upcoming Supreme Court election, and why the SAFE Act proposes to do anything but keep women in America safe.

NEW EPISODE! Special guest, author and Economic Sociologist Brooke Harrington joined the Strategy Session to draw back the curtain on the Broligarchy that has taken over Washington. And it’s unimaginably bad, not just for our economy or the widening wealth gap, but for our democracy. Brooke's new book, Offshore: Stealth Wealth and the New Colonialism, investigates how offshore financial systems enable the ultra-wealthy to evade taxes, bypass regulations, and consolidate power, all while undermining democracy, capitalism, and environmental protections. Sound familiar?
