Trump’s Lies Are Coming Faster Than Anyone Can Track
Summary
Tim Miller breaks down a series of contradictory and false claims made by President Trump regarding AI, oil prices, and Iran, arguing that the administration is prioritizing tech oligarch interests over national security. He highlights Trump’s new proposal to issue a $5,000 dividend to citizens if Republicans win both chambers of Congress, framing it as a political bribe ahead of the midterms. The episode also covers breaking news about immigrants being held in outdoor cages at the "Alligator Alcatraz" detention facility, which Miller condemns as inhumane and potentially torture.
