Donald Trump backs down on the tariffs and according to his fan base, this is a mark of his Machiavellian genius. This would seem to have something in common not with Machiavelli but with Larry Tate, the completely transactional boss on the sitcom "Bewitched." How? Give a listen.
Leftist economist Fadhel Kaboub returns to Bad Faith to deepen last week's conversation on Tariffs following "Orange Monday." He assesses Elon's discovery of "magic money machines" -- confirming that the government doesn't need to tax to spend, and breaks down what Democrats should (but won't) say to exploit mass frustration with Trump's economic policy.
In a conversation that's immediately so rich Briahna forgets to introduce him, preeminent Gaza scholar, author, and professor Norman Finkelstein addresses how the crusade against wokeness is being weaponized by some, like Columbia Professor John McWhorter, to justify pro-Zionist free speech crackdowns on campus, and whether left-critics of woke excesses have any responsibility to adjust their critiques as a response. He also debates the utility of the term "Zionism" versus "Jewish Supremacy," and offers Brie a hilarious bit of dating advice. It's a sprawling, intimate conversation you wont want to miss.
