18 DAYS TO GO AND MAGA IS PANICKING: Diesel Prices, Data Centers, and the end of a Ten Year Spell
Summary
The host argues that the Trump administration is collapsing as Republicans face a "preference cascade" toward a Democratic House win. He urges voters to defeat complacency by voting early and warns that the post-election accountability process will be a long, legal "épuration" targeting corruption and election interference. The episode concludes with a call for incoming Democrats to prioritize economic relief and strip tariff powers from the president to address voter demands.
