Yes, you're live!

Taxes are my bag. This is a Platinum level discussion about Harris' problematic tax policy.

Such a smart discussion. So glad to have discovered this from Sam Seder's show.

Fake News website.

The democratic party might as well be on another planet. Compare Harris to RFK Jr's speech ...it's almost painful how out of touch the democratic has grown

Huh? Lifelong democratic dumping the democratic party because of Harris. There was a feeling of relief?!? Anyone, anyone, even trump, is better than her.

At this point, mostly Eurasian settler Americans are getting paid beaucoup to pretend they don't know anything about the Nazis and detail around the Nazis, and I mean the Ukrainian Nazis on the payroll getting paid billions of dollars per month and endless impunity for their Endlos Kriegsverbrechen ! Face it, there's a preponderant amount of evidence over a great deal of time ! They sit there and they want you to worry about frivolities and meaningless conjured news items, while they remunerate from excluding any details around the Nazis . The Nazis, not even neo-Nazis but the original Nazis painting SS Hitler slogans and Nazi symbols all over Kursk just recently . That is some really dastardly scoundrel behavior excluding details around that and nothing but pure unadulterated blood money that they are earning running their exclusionary detailing lies of omission rackets. 400,000+ Americans died in World War II and factors more were injured & many for life, you don't detail around the Nazis after something like that, but you just don't detail around the Nazis if you have any respect for humanity !! for the love of their gods !  Smh ---US govt want us to pick their crops and pay their Nazis... and remember that our grandparents were very proud of their service for the United States in ww2. in the same place as these Nazis are running wild with nothing but impunity and our hundreds of billions tax dollars and armed to the teeth by us. Disgraceful and pure traitor behavior by the United States government. While enjoying their Sept. 2023 US visa waiver, Israelis will literally transition to “whiteness” the instant they cross into US airspace (or Rhodesian airspace), and when they arrive for their visa free immigration hassle free stay with no overstay possible, they will call us “Browns” and “amelekites” and treat us like second class citizens like essentially all Eurasians feel entitled to do to us and have for over 214+ years in America, the records and archives and the legislation does not lie….while…. For its non-stop racist eliminationist remunerative propaganda blitz since at least the 1820s, Texas has pushed desperate asylum seeking victims of a US hegemony, to the deepest part of the river with the razor wire to force them to cross in the most dangerous part to try and request asylum ...because... Both parties and their endless incitement to genocide demagogue mouthpieces literally remuneratively scapegoat the most marginalized desperate intentionally crafted exogenous other non-Eurasians here in non-Eurasia, in order to get billions of dollars for its Nazi war criminal, Bandera Nazi, 100% avowed Nazi impunity ride oligarchs and all of their schattenkrieger schläferzelle kriegsverbrecher Nazi armies. Here is the proxy paramilitary einsatzgruppen armies of WWall SStreet operating in Ukraine short list. Most of these groups are still operating, they're all private armies of the CIA.... they are, the CIA has never stopped trafficking private armies, especially in Ukraine, look up the UPA. 🙄 It is such disgusting & absolutely downright traitorous behavior and so insulting to my/our WW2 US veterans grandparents and great grandparents. An unforgivable insult. WWall SStreet's seemingly endless, never unemployed, private fascist and Nazi armies operating worldwide with impunity and endless funding from the repugnant exchange rackets they are the impunity granted purveyors of for the hegemon: Lumiere Group Alpha 1 PNK group Group 13 Philanthropic division Black team Dzhokhar Dudayev battalion Tactical group, Belarus Kastus Kalinousky regiment 80th assault group "Galicia" Atomwaffen - AWO Galizen 12th Brigade Azov Black swan brigade Revansh Unit Madyar Birds Gonomr Bandits Kryla Unit Irpen Group Barrat Group GUR Coyote Unit GUR Lucas Squad Delta Knights Bratsvo unit Spatan Batallion Terror Battalion Brotherhood Tro brigade Dikiy platoon Revenge unit MTR (Azov) DUK PD “Santi”” 67th (pravy sektor) 3rd sturm assault (Azov) Unit A3449 Sabre 'training' Advisory Group 25 ODPBr Battalion Chrnigov International legion Caucasian legion 1 OBRSpn 2nd Battalion DUK (pravy sektor) Georgian Legion Artan Group Ambush Team Vega Unit Ares Unit Black eagle RDK OUN Battalion Tbilisi Unit Lyut Straight edge squad Pagonya Sheik Mansour Battalion Rogue Team Bili Demony White Demons Spartan Brigade Omega group 50/50 Monolith Brigade Cossack Battalion Patriot of Ukraine Norman Brigade German Volunteer Corps Ukrainian Volunteer Army (UDA) Charter/Khartia Battalion Luftwaffe Battalion Format 18 Skalar Battalion Battalion Burewiej Rage Battalion SS Galicia SS Nachtagal Freikorps Volunteers Order & Tradition Arey Battalion Alpha 1 Code.9.2 Edelweiss Batallion SS Sonderkommando SS Centuria Russian Volunteer Corps Forward Observers Group The Chosen Ones Free Russia Legion Azov Aidar Dnipro Bataillon Donbass batallion DSPinfo mercs (White Rex mercs) White Wolf batallion Safari battalion tornado battalion kraken Bataillon Karpathia sich boatswain boys right sektor/pravy sektor C14 da Vinci wolves battalion Campo Salvaje misanthropic division Phoenix division Combat 18 shaman battalion Sturm Battalion Svoboda Trizub (Trident) SS bears So many more that the list is too long for this message… It’s so utterly racist and so fascist & Nazis.😡🙄

Well done! Thanks folks.

I saw a clip from Fox Business that Aaron Rupar posted, "Rep. Rich McCormick, a member of the GOP's Doctors Caucus, claims that government regulations in the health care industry are "fascism, I'm pretty sure"". So negotiating price is no longer part of capitalism? This from the same party that's always saying govt should be ran like a business

Big fan of David Dayen and appreciative of the professionalism at one the last independent investigative sources of journalism.

Any vote for independent, Republicans, or Democrats is a vote for fascism of the Nazi financing Eurasian settler colonialist type and the differences between any one of those three parties is so negligible, that it is literally fodder for intellectually dishonest quibblers (most who are paid handsomely to be intellectually dishonest quibblers embarrassing themselves for McMansions and to look rich and have the latest electric car to pick the kids up from karate and to take them to Montessori school in, Montessori school where they don't teach your kids about World War II or fascism) All three parties are singing to the roughly same racist eliminationist sheet music, and all three parties have nearly the exact same laundry list of damage to exact apon the United States settler colony, and all three parties will essentially do the same damage, and only the aesthetics differs and all three parties will do damage to non-Eurasians as much as they can, including anti-non-Eurasian ani-labor structural Eurasian settler workplace discrimination against non-Eurasians ongoing. Because that's what this place is and that is the structure unfortunately, and don't tell us otherwise because you will get schooled and pop quizzed into embarrassment and you will regret it because it's the truth.

oy, Welstone and Humphrey didn't meet such good ends

CNN did an interview with the guy who seems to be the source for retirement allegations. I had seen some information (on Twitter, so double check) that guy is full MAGA and had been brought up when Walz ran for governor. Adam Kinzinger was on the Bulwark Podcast and is former military and dismissed it as bunch of trash.

As Tim said in AZ 8.9.2024-… As David lays out; little is left to concern.

If the Balz to the Walz comes from the Welstone legacy! Works for all people.

Speaking as a post occupy Millennial socialist, I feel like these guys sat on their assess for 40 years because of 'one bad decade'. where is the politics? Where was the DSA in the Bush years? now they have egg on their face, again, they lead the Millennial Left to their doom..

I cannot understand what you are trying to do. Is it to discourage young people from voting for Kamala and to help elect Trump? Frankly very disconcerting to me, coming from you.

Good roundup but bland analysis of the Democratic vp candidates. Also seemed protective of Shapiro, who is no ally of public education and is all in on whatever Israel wants. Never heard Dayen sound so much like a moderate Democrat.

Love the weekly roundup, guys. Right after casual Friday on the Majority Report.

Shapiro is a full stop for this voter. Palestine is the top moral issue for this country right now, and moral issues should be foremost in a democracy. If Shapiro is chosen, I will unsubscribe from all her donation asks. The DNC has quite enough $$ now to last through >90 days and begging from large interests would lead to significant distrust. I understand the hosts' remarks that a VP pick does not guarantee their state, and since MN is likely in the blue arena, it's not relevant anyway. Walz is a brilliant crowd-pleaser, drives Trump nuts, and seems to have a clean record. 2024 will be a performance campaign, as most are now, and Walz is a good balancer for Harris. If she doesn't choose Walz, it will be seen as yet another slap in the face of progressives, who bring the vote in the door. The DNC has already primaried too many progressive candidates at a time when they are quite popular!

Andy Beshear will help in big ways. Walz is a great pick. No bs & genuine. And, a real progressive!

yu 2 r bugging the shit out of me and s0 uncomfortablly talking,

Quality

Great insight from Luke here. Will definitely keep an eye out for more from him and Open Markets Institute. This was a sobering conversation about how Harris being a bit of a blank slate is not as exciting as I originally thought. Still hopeful for sure, but dumping Lina Khan would be a giant mistake IMO if Harris wins. Let's hope Porter and Warren can keep her on the right track.

Very informative conversation, thanks. Not to be too critical but I thought you stepped on your guest's toes whenever he tried to say something. Like a spouse who completes his partner's sentences.

Great discussion and addition to the Prospect staff! Welcome aboard Emma!

Not to nit pick too much, but I think US standing army didn't come until after WW1. With that said, that is why the Marines were formed under the Navy, because there is the standing Navy part. That is why the Marines were involved the Banana Wars, the take over of Haiti. Smedley Butler is a really good person to look at.

No, not depressing at all 😢

Is this a podcast too?

I should add that I did not watch the debate, but that I am firmly behind whichever candidate the Dems run, unless they bring back Joe Lieberman (literally or figuratively). Biden may not be quick on his feet in a debate, but the actual performance of the job takes deliberation and context and expert advice, which he seems to do fine with. I think his execution is masterful, especially since he's been doing it for a hundred years. People also should be reminded that this is also about who will be on our Supreme Court in the coming years. If Trump is re-elected, Thomas and Alito will resign to be replaced by younger versions of themselves, effectively damning this country for more than a generation. If Biden is re-elected, Thomas and Alito will attempt to hold their seats for another 4 years, in the hopes of a Republican executive after the Biden term is over. We need a liberal or left-leaning president for the next two elections to even have a chance to tilt back towards progressivism. The other sad truth is that even if a Democrat congress passes a nationwide pro-choice law, this Supreme Court would overturn it.

This topic would not be in our face if Biden had been more approachable by journalists during the first 3 years of his presidency. Many were shocked by how he appeared on national television. This would have been mitigated by more exposure to him leading up to the debate. I agree with the analysis that he should have stayed at the 50,000 foot level describing his accomplishments, and his advisors failed to come up with a good narrative to replace the policy details. If there are any voters out there who "have not made up their mind," at this point, the debate would influence them. But how many in that category are actually watching the debate? I would argue, "none." What they will hear after the debate is that Biden is a doddering and senile old man, and that Trump is a liar. Then it comes down to god knows what....

Kamala Harris/Julian Castro ticket

Beyond the performance as a messenger last night from an 81 year old man. We are looking at a grueling job for an 83, 84, 85 year old

Kamala Harris is the best candidate in this moment.

I’m so Fing depressed. The dems are a mess. And, Biden is out of touch. Never should have been here. Bring on Gavin Newsom.

100% agree with Janie, it would look chaotic and desperate. David is also 100% right that Biden was over prepped. It was pointed out that after the debate he was good with a group of supporters. I'm pretty sure there was a second debate already agreed to, put him back out there and tell him to stay the at 50,000 foot view. He can simply say look at what I proposed or done, when he doesn't remember details. Biden can also point at all the many, many times that Trump has said that "two weeks" or "next coming/several days", Trump did that interview with Chris Wallace in July 2019 and said his health care plan was coming in two weeks.

for me, its more the dead baby thing than the stuttering thing, although I have been bullying stutterers all my life

Genocide Joe got his due...except he won't be charged and tried in any international court. The real message is neither of these guys belongs in our presidency. Will the Dems come up with someone who can defeat someone who has tried to destroy this Republic? Stay tuned to find out.

Thank you for the stream. Boeing isn't going to have good CEO, for the same reason all other publicly traded companies don't have a good CEO. The product/service that a company offers is just the annoying part that allows the real part that they are interested in and that is the stock price.

Bravo for this and The Speech FDR Would Give. Thank you.

Thanks! David does such a great job of breaking down/explaining the content of the Prospect pieces you discuss on the stream.

It may be too late for my comment, but I only found this today. The part on the term "cultural appropriation" the speakets missed the meaning of the term entirely. The term applies to the taking over of a culture, making million$$$ on it, while the people who ARE the culture, make no money, continue to be oppressed, and suffer in poverty. It's like treating a person's real life as if it's a toy to be played with, then put away when the player is tired of it. Cultural Appropriation refers to ECONOMICS, not people's feelings about using other people's stuff. You want to be Black for example, when it's fun, or dancing, or partying, but not when police brutality affects those same people you so enjoy playing with. It's about hypocrisy. "Put in the time." -Susan Neiman

Hi David, love your work with Sam Seder. I wonder if you couldn't move your live show to 2:45 pm, then you wouldnt be competing with Sam's time slot and you might be able to bribe him into doing a call out to your show now and then. Also, I'll tell you what I've told Sam, which is that I'm not a fan of the Zoom call format. It's so much better if you could setup a conference room as a studio for guests or collaborators, when possible, and then you can capture all that eye contact and body language. You don't break the 4th wall. It's a much more natural way of filming a conversation from the perspective of the viewer. Maybe at least try to get the Zoom logo off the screen.

I have a lot of medically based food (and chemical) restrictions and I’m on food stamps, I tried ordering from Whole Foods a couple times when my daughter was having episodes with her disability. The fist time I didn’t notice, but the second time I saw that the section for “ebt approved” items (which is not the case in store) had items that were sometimes over a dollar price difference. I buy REALLY basic and inexpensive items there and this price difference is INCREDIBLY harmful to disabled folks just trying to function in this world. New York State provides $530 in food stamps, per month, for two people (in our situation). It’s so disgusting that they would so blatantly steal from those struggling with poverty, not that I’m surprised at this point. Not to even mention that they are also stealing from the government.

Stores also get companies to restock the shelves at many stores.

Welcome back! This pricing issue is so awesome, thank you guys for putting it out!!! <33333

Well done. Thanks.

Thank you for illuminating the refusal of the Supreme Ct. Justices to correct institutional legislative racism in spite of the impact this decision has on the voting rights of its Black citizens. Virtually helping to turn the clock back in a state that has traditionally employed racist tactics to exclude this Black community and support white supremist power grabs.

Absolute master class on one of our most messed up institutions. I came away very informed and inspired.

Is this listenable as a podcast?
