Listen "David French: Tariffs, Sycophants and Signal"
Episode Synopsis
Charlie Sykes is joined by David French for a wide-ranging conversation about the alarming trajectory of Trump’s second term—from potential appointments like Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel to the chaos of $6 trillion in new tariffs. They explore the rise of authoritarian instincts, the collapse of due process, and the moral rationalizations enabling Trump's grip on power. Plus: big law caves, Laura Loomer ascends, and Paula White offers angelic blessings—for a price. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
