No Tacos For Tyrants
"Like an American John Oliver but with more profanity". A podcast hosted by raconteur Matt Mihaly, who takes on politics, news, culture, business and more in his own irreverent and unfiltered way. Matt sees the humor in these dark times, but also takes deep dives into complex subjects, simplifying the concepts involved so that everyone can understand what's really going on.
No Tacos For Tyrants
Springsteen Vs Trump, GOP Budget Bombs, Dems in Disarray
Matt takes on Donald Trump's latest petty insults directed at music legends Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen, highlighting the former president's increasingly bizarre and thin-skinned outbursts. He also examines a surreal pitch reportedly linked to Kristi Noem's DHS: a patriotic reality TV show where immigrants compete in challenges to win U.S. citizenship—a uniquely MAGA-era blend of policy and entertainment.
Matt then breaks down the troubling details of the GOP's new budget proposal, unpacking the accounting tricks Republicans are using to hide trillions in tax cuts aimed at the wealthy. Finally, he offers some frank commentary on the state of the Democratic Party, exploring why its leadership continues to fall short in the face of ongoing Republican dysfunction, before moving onto a Three Good Things segment.
