The Classic Trump And Dump Scheme
Listen now
Description
Ever wondered how media outlets decide who gets airtime and what that means for our news? We spark the debate with a critical look at MSNBC's controversial choice to hire Ronna McDaniel, questioning the consequences for our public discourse. Then, we swap the intensity for a bit of tech amusement as we coach co-host Ty on mastering her new microphone—expect a symphony of techie tips, chuckles, and a few jokes that teeter on the edge. Hold onto your seats as we delve into the staggering $14 billion valuation of Trump's Truth Social. The valuation stands in stark contrast to Reddit's recent public offering, and we're peeling back the layers of the financial spectacle involving Jeffrey Yass and the SEC's magnifying glass. Plus, we assess the maze of Trump's legal hurdles, including his legal maneuvers and reduced bond requirements, with insights from Tristan Snell on how to hold elusive figures accountable. As we near the finale, the spotlight turns to the anticipated Trump election interference hush money trial set for April. We scrutinize the potential of a gag order and the GOP's unnerving pre-election tactics, hinting at plans beyond the ballot box. We're not just delivering news; we're unfolding the chapters of a narrative that could redefine the political landscape come November.
