Is Trump Crazier Than Ever Or Has He Always Been Crazy?  

We begin with increasing alarm at Trump’s mental state and now Governor Pritzker of Illinois is calling for the Vice President to invoke the 25th Amendment which would require the cabinet to agree that the president is not mentally fit to continue in office, resulting in J.D. Vance becoming the next president. Joining us to assess whether Trump is crazier than ever or has always been crazy is Dr. Allen Frances, a Professor Emeritus and former Chair of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Duke University. He is the author of the award-winning international bestseller Saving Normal and the reference work Essentials of Psychiatric Diagnosis and his latest book is Twilight of American Sanity: A Psychiatrist Analyzes the Age of Trump, now out in an updated paperback version.

Trump Moves To Bail Out American Soybean Farmers Who Lost the Chinese Market Because of Trump and Now Trump is Bailing Out Argentina’s Milei Who Has Opened His Soybean Market to China

Then we look into a potentially damaging issue arising from Trump’s plan to bailout American soybean farmers who have lost the Chinese market due to Trump’s tariffs and are furious that Trump is bailing out his wannabe dictator buddy in Argentina who has opened up his market by scrapping export taxes which has China swooping in to buy Argentine soybeans. Joining us is Maria Victoria Murillo, a professor of political science and the former director of the Institute for Latin American Studies at Columbia University whose research focuses on electoral behavior, labor politics, education reform, agricultural policies, and economic policy in Latin America. She is the author of several books including Labor Unions, Partisan Coalitions, and Market Reforms in Latin America and Non-Policy Politics: Richer Voters, Poorer Voters, and the Diversification of Electoral Strategies.

905 U.S. Billionaires (Up From 66 in 1989) Now Own $7.8 Trillion Compared to the $4.1 Trillion of 66 Million American Households 

Then finally, since the government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans gave tax breaks to billionaires paid for by cutting healthcare for working Americans, we speak with Chuck Collins, a senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies where he co-edits Inequality.org. He is the author of several books, including Born on Third Base, The Wealth Hoarders, Wealth and Our Commonwealth (with Bill Gates Sr), and Economic Apartheid in America. His latest book, just out, is Burned by Billionaires: How Concentrated Wealth and Power are Ruining Our Lives and Planet which reveals 905 American billionaires (up from 66 in 1989) own $7.8 trillion in wealth compared to the bottom 66 million American households which have a combined wealth of $4.1 trillion.
