The Bulwark Podcast - Catherine Rampell: Who Are the Socialists Now?

It’s hard to find a better example of seizing the means of production than our government seizing an equity stake in a company—which Trump keeps doing over and over again. And what do the diehard Republican capitalists have to say about all this socializing of the private sector? Nothing, of course. But they definitely were up in arms over Bill Kristol saying he’d probably vote for Mamdani if he still lived in NYC, and that voting for Cuomo was ridiculous. Plus, the crypto-based bribery of Trump and his family is flourishing, SNAP cuts and Head Start closures will have a big impact on rural areas, businesses have been trying to find ways to lower their tariff burden since Trump won last November, and the potential ties between recent layoffs and the AI arms race.

The Bulwark’s Catherine Rampell joins Tim Miller for the Halloween weekend pod.

Global News Podcast - Xi Jinping leads summit after Trump leaves

China's President, Xi Jinping, leads the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation summit in South Korea, which President Trump chose to leave. Chinese media said Mr Xi told a closed-door meeting of regional leaders that they should deepen economic co-operation in the face of challenges unseen in a century. Also, the United Nations has said that the "horror" continues in El-Fasher, with aid agencies warning that too few civilians are being allowed to leave the Sudanese city, which has fallen to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. A friend of King Charles tells the BBC that the monarch would have been frustrated and angry with his brother, Andrew, who's now been stripped of the title 'prince' following a damaging sex scandal. Another high-profile, broad-daylight robbery in France, just weeks after a raid at the Louvre museum in Paris. And why bats are finding sanctuary in churches.
