Should it be the federal government or the states? The GOP tax bill, now headed to the Senate, would have states pick up more of the tab — meaning states would likely have to raise taxes or cut spending. We'll hear more. But first: Tariff drama is back. Then, after the murder of George Floyd, corporate America pledged billions of dollars to help fight racial inequality. How much has actually been spent?

Audio Mises Wire - Relearning the Lessons We Never Learned from World War I
The 20th century gave us two world wars that have altered the world's political landscape to this day. We would do well to remember the main lesson from World War I: there is no “honor” in warfare. It is pure murder.

Native America Calling - Friday, May 23, 2025 – Five years after George Floyd’s death, racial justice advocates watch momentum whither
On the eve of the five-year commemoration of George Floyd’s death, the Trump administration is withdrawing Department of Justice (DOJ) oversight for police departments in Minneapolis, Phoenix, Louisville, and other cities where the DOJ previously found civil rights violations against Native Americans and other people of color. Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer prompted global calls for accountability for long standing inequities. Now, Native American racial justice advocates say any progress toward improving unbalanced treatment by law enforcement agencies is stalled, at best. We’ll assess the direction of racial equity in the criminal justice system over the five years since George Floyd’s high-profile death.

Sales of existing homes fell in April to about 4 million a year. For comparison, almost 7 million existing homes were sold each year from 2020 to 2022. The reasons? Home prices are high, mortgage rates are high, and there's lots of economic uncertainty. And later in the program: A proposed law could help people who lost homes in this year's Los Angeles wildfires avoid "vulture capitalists."
