Pod Save America - Trump Celebrates High Gas Prices

President Trump suggests that the high price of oil—surging upward because of his war in Iran—is a good thing, because the United States makes "a lot of money." Jon and Dan discuss the President's unique affordability message, his claim that the war has already been won, and what Joe Rogan, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Gen Z men are saying about Iran. Then, they check in on the GOP, including the party's mass deportation messaging "hiccup," the lengths some on the right are going to in order to pass the SAVE Act, and MAGA's full embrace of Islamophobia. Finally, they react to former DOGE staffers trying to explain DEI under oath, and to Marco Rubio allegedly lying about his shoe size to the President of the United States.

Short Wave - An icy mystery: What are lake stars?

When producer Berly McCoy was out on her local frozen lake, she saw something she'd never seen before. There were dark spidery, star-shaped patterns in the ice and they freaked her out. So, we called an expert to find out more about them. In today’s episode, geophysicist Victor Tsai tells us about lake stars and how he became the first person to scientifically prove how they form. Plus, he explains how knowing more about lake stars can potentially give us clues about the presence of water on Europa, one of Jupiter’s icy moons.

Read Victor Tsai’s full paper on lake stars here.

The Best One Yet - 🔥 “LIVE with Kara Swisher from DC” — Silicon Valley is Kindergarten for Billionaires (Uncensored)

The most famous tech journalist, Kara Swisher, joined us on-stage at our LIVE show in Arlington as part of the IPO Tour (our “In-Person Offering”). And Kara brings fire…


In this LIVE interview, Kara (aka the Sultaness of Scoops) riffs on…


  • How she was going to join the CIA, but instead ended up at the Washington Post
  • Why Silicon Valley is Kindergarten for Billionaires
  • The time she ripped on Zuck for his jogging routine in China
  • The biz of being a solo journalist 
  • What every 26-year-old should be doing now to AI slop-proof their careers
  • How her “Burn Book” of Tech Elites is becoming a TV show
  • How Congress should regulate the tech industry (for the 1st time ever)
  • And she throws bunch of shade at the current administration, Big Tech CEOs, other podcasters, and more
  • And her ticker symbol? Spoiler: $WTF


Plus, she turns the interview around to grill us (classic Kara).


Quick FYI: This episode was recorded live, and Kara drops a bunch of politics and profanity, something we don’t do on our show — So if you’ve got kids in the car right now, save this one for after drop-off.

To mark Women’s History Month, today’s episode features new books focused on women who have paved the way for gender equality. First, journalist Norah O’Donnell documents untold stories in American history in We the Women, written in collaboration with Kate Andersen Brower. In today’s episode, O’Donnell tells NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly about lesser-known female heroes, like the woman who printed the Declaration of Independence and a female soldier who fought in the American Revolution. Then, activist Gloria Steinem and Nobel Peace Laureate Leymah Gbowee speak with Here & Now’s Indira Lakshmanan about their new children’s book, Rise, Girl, Rise.

Opening Arguments - Trump’s DOJ Lets Ticketmaster off the Hook for No Reason

OA1243 - The lawsuit that was supposed to break up Ticketmaster and Live Nation’s obvious monopoly over live music throughout the U.S. has just ended in a settlement so surprising that even DOJ’s lead counsel didn’t know it was happening. Is this deal as bad as it looks?  What does it mean for the future of live entertainment, and what will happen if the dozens of states which joined the feds in this case don’t sign off on it?

Also: An insurance company sues ChatGPT for telling someone to fire their lawyer, the first (known) instance of a DOJ lawyer writing a brief with AI, and Kristi Noem’s Marvel-ous new job.

Finally in today’s footnote--did thousands of people really just bet on the death of Ayatollah Ali Khameni? We take a closer look at the legal basis for “prediction markets” like Kalshi and Polymarket.

  1. Statement of Objection to Ticketmaster Live Settlement, Matt Cameron (Nov. 30, 2011)(Matt’s actual filing into the 2011 Ticketmaster litigation demanding a handle of Jack Daniel’s and “a personalized letter drafted and personally signed by Ticketmaster CEO Nathan Hubbard which contains at least two (2) credibly apologetic statements, to be reviewed prior to delivery for quality of spelling, grammar, and penitence by an objective arbiter designated by the Court” for each class member)

  2. Complaint in United States et al. v. Live Nation (2024)

  3. Term Sheet for the Resolution of United States et al. v. Live Nation (2024)

  4. “Trump convenes ‘Shield of Americas’ summit with 12 Latin American leaders,”  The Guardian, (3/7/2026)

  5. Show cause order in Fivehouse v. US Department of Defense (2025)

  6. Complaint in Nippon Life Insurance Company of America v. OpenAI Foundation (2026)

Global News Podcast - US aerial refuelling plane crashes in western Iraq

US officials have said a KC-135 refuelling plane that went down in western Iraq was not the result of hostile or friendly fire. They said it had involved a second refuelling aircraft that landed safely. Six crew members were reported to be on the plane that crashed. We also hear from Lebanon where a BBC correspondent has been spending time in the south of the country which is under constant Israeli attack. In other news, a man who was shot dead by armed guards when he drove his truck into a synagogue in the US state of Michigan has been identified as a naturalised US citizen who was born in Lebanon; a satirical cartoonist has been freed from prison in Eritrea after fifteen years without charge; and the chef behind Copenhagen's Noma restaurant steps back after multiple accusations of abuse by staff.
