Trump’s Constitutional Crisis: Habeas Corpus Threat & Qatar’s $400M Gift

In this episode, Tristan breaks down Stephen Miller’s shocking suggestion to suspend habeas corpus-a fundamental right dating back to the Magna Carta. In other corruption news, Tristan discusses Trump’s acceptance of a $400 million luxury aircraft from Qatar just one week after announcing a $5.5 billion Trump golf resort deal in the country. Tristan explains why the Qatar plane gift violates the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause and represents unprecedented presidential corruption.  With markets experiencing their worst April since 1932 and Trump’s approval ratings plummeting, Tristan argues these constitutional violations and corruption scandals signal America’s dangerous slide from rule of law to rule by mob boss. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Beyond the Whiteboard w/ Katie Porter

Katie Porter joins Tristan to break down Trump’s economic mess and what Democrats need to do differently to win in 2026. As markets experience their worst April since the Depression, Porter explains how Trump’s tariffs are driving up housing costs by 20% and pushing America toward stagflation. Drawing from her experience flipping a long-held Republican district, Porter wants Democrats to deliver stronger economic messengers by focusing on kitchen-table issues like housing and childcare costs. The conversation explores how Democrats can lead resistance to harmful federal policies, why state-level action matters when Washington fails, and how to directly addressing the economic struggles of younger voters. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Crypto Bribes & Classified Leaks: Exposing Trump’s Profit Machine (w/ Sen. Murphy)

Murphy reveals how his “Meme Act” legislation targets Trump’s cryptocurrency schemes, with CEOs now openly admitting they’re buying Trump coins to secure favorable tariff treatment.The conversation tackles “Signalgate”-where classified information flows through commercial apps-and exposes how unqualified Trump appointees conduct rogue diplomacy, including Kremlin negotiations without staff or translators. Murphy details how foreign governments have created a corruption playbook: bypass traditional channels and “shove cash into Trump’s pockets” through his billionaire enablers.Most chilling is Murphy’s warning about democracy’s quiet erosion: no tanks in the streets, just the steady dismantling of accountability while institutions stand paralyzed.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
