Chapo Trap House - MM43 – Punks & Bad Boys
Greetings Horror Sickos,
Listener, please light a circle of candles and begin to scrawl out the ancient sigils in salt, and begin the accursed chant … “Let’s All Go to the Lobby, Let’s All Go to the Lobby, and Grab Ourselves a Snack”
That’s right! Spooky season is upon us and to inaugurate another edition of Ghoulvie Screamset Horrortober, Will Massacre and Hexa Deni are back with a selection of abominable and morally ruinous films.
First up, in Return of the Living Dead (O’Bannon, 1985) an assortment of punks, working stiffs and slobs accidentally expose themselves to zombie gas and help bring out the nuclear bombing of Louisville, Kentucky in this documentary about a real thing that actually happened. This hilarious and goofball horror film asks two existentially terrifying questions: What if you could feel every second of being dead? And, do you want to PARTY????
Then in The Blob (Russell, 1988), a sci fi classic gets a grisly and unforgettable remake that features Kevin Dillon playing an motorcycle riding bad boy who smokes cigs, wears a leather jacket and has to save the small town that rejects him for being too cool from a giant blob that digests and dissolves everything in its path.
This episode is free, but the rest of Ghoulvie Screamset Season 3 will be paywalled!
Audio Mises Wire - The Complicated Legacy of Andrew Jackson’s Bank War
Was Jackson’s victory over the Second Bank of the United States a triumph for liberty, or did it merely expand federal authority under the guise of constraining it? His legacy is complicated, but there is much we can learn from it.

Audio Mises Wire - Absolutism and the “Reason of State”: Rothbard on the Growth of Statism
The Renaissance period is seen as mostly positive by historians, but the sinister development of absolutism and the imperial state complicates the legacy of that time.

Audio Mises Wire - James Comey Is Not an Innocent Victim of the Lawfare He Helped to Create
Although the political establishment claims the Comey indictment represents an unprecedented moment in our history, the truth is much different. Federal prosecutors have a long history of bringing unjustified, politically-motivated prosecutions.

Episode 514 – “What Are We Even Doing Here?” (w/ David Dayen)

Executive editor of The American Prospect David Dayen returns to Bad Faith to explain the government shutdown and how Democrats are doing their darnedest to be the worst resistance party in the world. How is it that Trump seems to have infinite power when Biden, during his trifecta, had none? Did Trump really just do what we were told is impossible: overrule the parliamentarian? Why are Democrats making this a fight about healthcare rather than the fact that the GOP has already effectively shut down the government through their DOGE activities? And why should we be very very scared of OMB director Russell Vought?

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Wannsee Conference
On January 20, 1942, one of the most infamous meetings in human history took place.
Fifteen of the top-ranking Nazi officials gathered in the Berlin Suburb of Wannsee to come up with the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question.”
They discussed who would be eliminated and how, without the slightest hint of emotion.
In around ninety minutes, the fate of millions was decided.
Learn about the Wannsee Conference and how the “Final Solution” was enacted on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Indicator from Planet Money - How close is the US to crony capitalism?
We have seen a blurring of boundaries between government and business under President Trump. It has some political commentators ringing the alarm bell over something called “crony capitalism" — a corrupt system where political power meets big business. Today on the show, is the Trump administration nudging the U.S. further down the road toward crony capitalism?
