Will & Felix catch up on Democrats’ commitment to burning millions of dollars in search of a crumb of clout from the pod-mano-sphere, and John Fetterman’s chronic senate absenteeism as he searches for good vibes. Then, we’re joined by Lever News’ David Sirota & Arjun Singh to discuss their new podcast series Tax Revolt & the “Big Beautiful Bill” working its way through congress. We look at the devastating consequences of GOP tax policies, the increasing unpopularity of such drastic cuts, and how they fit in with the 50 year conservative war against taxes.

Call me a little piggy

Jaime Christley

watching THE WARRIORS 4k disc. what a picture. sorry, unrelated to the new episode, I'm trying to remove it

Tim O'

Zero Punctuation in the Chapo comments is an unexpected crossover

Travis

Felix begins speaking at 1 minute and 38 seconds today

Kyle Cassidy

Does it have the godawful director's cut transitions, or is it classic theatrical?

Kinetics Video

Dem video game should be a Deus Ex clone but everything is nice

Eamonn Curley

That first article about appealing to young men sounds like something that Ozy Media guy would come up with - and I wouldn't be surprised if it is

K H

Assain's Creed in Abundance City. All your targets are the homeless.

Brian Johnson

Fetterman's staffers had to tell him it was his son's birthday to get him to attend those hearings.

Ty G.

Off topic but I finally got around to seeing Eephus and it was great

Ardy Rezv

David is great. Hopefully he doesn’t try to sheep dog people into the Democratic Party again like he’s been doing the past few years. The lever is good though

ploob

Ooh my stories! (((Mozambique Democracy)))

Jcbsides

Dems should give Conor O'Malley millions for an ad campaign.

Ty G.

Dems should run Conor O'Malley for president- Joe Pera can be his no nonsense VP.

Special Adeline

Not 2 hours before listening to this I was trying to figure out how to get Windows to stop shoving 5 different subscriptions in my face every time I update my computer, lol

Maciek

You merge with the ai and introduce school vouchers for everyone, the plague you largely ignore and hope the next god ai can take care of it.

atatrs251

Am drunk listening to this...on verge of throwin up...lovin it

Dirk

The Hero of Kvatch closing Oblivion gates that lead to Abundance city that continuously releases Ezra Klein and Johnny Harris Homunculi.

Jcbsides

*shots of various Republicans* Look at all these slugs

Aaron Davis

I saw ol' Art on TV recently and thought he was dead when I learned about him in college in the mid aughts.

Wyatt the Wallaby

The idea of fetterman hanging at arthur morgans grave will live rent free in my head for the rest of my days

Blue Myself

In reference to the Democrat video game ads, I can’t wait for the Jimmy Carter Fortnite skin that buffs your build time (Habitat For Humanity) but automatically crashes the battle bus at the start of the round (Operation Eagle Claw).

Comrade Trash Panda

Taxes don't fund anything. That's not how taxes work. The fed spends money into existence and taxes take it out in order to control the amount of currency in circulation. Don't believe me? Pay your taxes in cash and watch them feed it into a paper shredder in front of you. Take a tour of the federal reserve and they give you a bag of shredded money as a momento. I am so sick and tired of the myth that you collect taxes in order to spend the money you collected. Money is a unit of measurement, you don't think a scoreboard at a baseball game is going to run out of points do you? Do you think we'll have to stop building a house because we ran out of inches on tape measures?

Jack

go knicks

Special Adeline

"I just wish I could be in a tilt-a-whirl full of my dad" will be in my head for a long time

Eamon Short

Or Hitman "we have a new assignment for you, agent forty-seven. There is a woman who is on foodstamps, but is secretly renting out her building-allocated car space for $35 a week, as she cannot afford a car. Infiltrate her building and eliminate her. There can be no witnesses, so her four children must be taken out"

Marshall Steinbaum

I’m sorry, I for one want you to literally do an entire episode going back over the shit that has been flung at you since 2016 by Traister et al, like four consecutive reading series all in one episode. Maybe multiple episodes.

Brent

Registered Democrat about ten years back so I could vote in primaries. Regretting it ever since.

jsobrie

He would just end up abdicating and installing Howard Schultz though

ERIC

Future president Nick Mullen series to exclusively discuss post 2016 podcast scene coming when? Now that's he's burnout on podcasting, the takes will be extra delicious.

polarkeef

Fetterman turning into Cyraxx

Gary LaRocca

Sounds like Fetterman came up with the economic policy.... Jesus

Matelda

I will re-litigate 2016 to my dying day.

Jake Nodwell

Pumping 20 mil into The Adam Friedland Show to have him host Witten and hash out what happened between them would influence the mid terms for the Dems.

John Harwood

I think that all of this is right in a strictly economic sense. And it is important to acknowledge the abstractions that dominate a fully financialized economy.

John Harwood

AND the reality is that it is the *political economic* question that matters. There needs to be a consensus—or at least a majority—that agrees with treating money in the way you and many of us on the left understand it. We are light years away from such a common understanding.

John Harwood

Real hippie hours…if you haven’t, check out Paolo Soleri’s Arcosanti. It’s still being built in AZ, I believe. The (not) first NEOM.

Ardy Rezv

A lot of people did. Unfortunately, their mistake is being too online. They saw rhe chud groundswell and told themselves it’s only a minority

Ardy Rezv

Brother, who gives a fuck. We got owned 2 times in a row. At this point if you still believe in the Democratic Party, you are retarded.

MATT TRIANO

If you spew spew into *this* \_/

Jeffrey

Football Manager x Democracy

joe

The dem influencer haul should go to mindofjson

Matelda

You're hearing things i didn't say, and talking like a white house communication staffer.

Kinetics Video

I tend to think of it more as taxes as a break on consumption. Has a counter-inflationary rooe but it's less about the total supply doesn't matter as much as who has it and what they can spend it on cheaply.

Kinetics Video

The emails never stop. I recommend burning your account

Ale

Thank you tax matt

Logan Ausherman

Listening to david sirota talk about government when he clearly doesnt even have a coherent idea of a theory of state is torture. "government is good when you dont notice that its government" like what the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Adam Hauck

Has anyone made the obvious Pearl Jam reference: “Can’t find a Fetterman, can’t find a Fettermaaaaaaaan” Gen X represent.

Last Years Man

"Syntax, language and content." Oh great, they're creating a chat bot.

Last Years Man

Are we sure Glen Danzig isn't fat, these days?

HuffingGasInTheShed

Trillbillies are what democrats looking for but they don’t know it

Throw Away

Democratic Influencer PeanutButterGamer

Riley Stratton

38:00 Mom’s basement ridiculous pull

Doug Cartel

It would be very funny to see an ActBlue donation box in the middle of a call of duty level

hopoffz

one day they'll turn down the volume of the intro good lord my heart cannot handle this for much longer

Steve Nutt

Hey, leave Fetterman alone, he just wants to hang out with really cool war criminals and collect Israeli cocktail flags

bruce

it’s unbelievable THE monomaniacal energy with which Democrats are able to convert anything imaginable into a problem of communication. The ideas are always right, they are just being inadequately communicated.

Matthew

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop gorging slop"

Ladan

The song at the end slaps

Flesh Colored Subaru

Rebecca Traister wrote the worst thing ive ever read written about politics in NY Mag: "As a young Hillary hater, I often compared her to Darth Vader — more machine than woman, her humanity ever more shrouded by Dark Side gadgetry. These days, I think of her as General Leia: No longer a rebel princess, she has made a wry peace with her rakish mate and her controversial hair and is hard at work, mounting a campaign against the fascistic First Order."

Meatwad Cosby

Oooh that’s who David Sirota is. I assumed he’s just a guy Alex and Charles know.

Matty C

“You know how wives are with carpet trauma?” Felix, it’s a wonder why you’re not taken.

Zach H.

All of that story about the “Democratic Joe Rogan” is them trial ballooning creating an A.I. podcaster character

Doug Cartel

Man, the Laffer curve. Never been more mad at a drunk guy scribbling on a cocktail napkin

E

Epic city skyline reference.

Cory Johnson

Imagining John Fetterman doing figure 8s in his office like King Vendrick in Dark Souls 2

reclusiver

Listening to tax guys makes my tummy ache because i'm a tax guy and this is what i sound like

Phil N

“The main character if Hatred is if Danzig was fat”… Glen Danzig is fat!

Josh Bobst

Does will play Cities skylines, a game I have 1200 hours in?

Joelio

Double tap democracy is the most honest thing the democrats have named in a long time

kmd

What's even the point of bowling, even if you knock them all down they just pick them up again - fetterman

Chris

Autocorrect messed up "rapist mate"

Odhran McCaffery

Fetterman in the amusement park yearning to play whackamole with his dead grandfather really got me lol

Giancarlo Buonamici

to be alive, walk this very earth, thats the real curse right there -Fetterman

Tim O'

So the main character of Hatred is Glen himself, got it

Noah Mickens

The Democrats make it so hard to vote for them. Just a deluge of neurotic, insulting, ineffectual bullshit.

Virus

I just saw a video of Adam Friedland on GQ while listening to this I think I know where the money is going

Noah Mickens

That lady who interviewed Tim Dillon is the living avatar of the Democratic Party.

delle_chiaie

my new firm is also called double tap democracy but in the firearms sense

danny

i would fucking rock an FDR skin in fortnite

Mattc83

Get this Abundance/Hatred game on kickstarter now. I need that in my life

etienne

the Brazilian Butt Lift Budget Reconciliation Act of 2025

wet_poptart

Hatred sequel starring Pennsylvania senator Hodor

Data Dealer

Tax wealth not labor. Simple as that.

Oliver Clozov

how do we make our message of "everything is basically fine, this is how it's supposed to work stop fucking complaining" attractive to the first downwardly mobile generation in 100 years

Damen Irving

God how much have we degenerated that something like “tax income as income” is completely outside the Overton window

Maevey Not

She lies and says she's in love with him Can't find a Fetterman

Trey

Why doesn't anyone talk about Southern Baptists who drink we face more social pressure than a silly Mormon, simply bc there are probably way more Baptists to snitch on each other.

Phil Darovic

The Thanksgiving dinner/gooning shoutout was from the new Yorker article, that line and the fact that they mentioned that your theme song was Gucci mane are why I started listening to the show.

Nathan

It’s funny that the Dems $20 million dollar idea to appeal to men is to advertise in video games when the Harris campaign already did a Fortnite thing.

The wazzzzaaapp bud light dude

Hmmm, the rich use their resources to claw back every concessions made to workers? Huh, should probably do something to address the root issue. On an unrelated noted, come check out the Fight the Oligarchy tour

Rory Schreiber

10 years on and I still dont understand GamerGate

MEAT CLOWN

Video games are slightly more difficult to whack off to than they were 10 years ago

gwen

maybe I missed it, but feels odd not to mention the medicaid for trans healthcare ban they slipped in to this bill.

Joe S.

A lot of people don't understand it, which in itself has become a controversy. Some are calling it GamerGateGate.

Austin V

I love how they keep calling him John like he's some goofball at their office

Michael

The Democratic Party will truly do ANYTHING to avoid talking about economic issues. At least the search for the next Joe Rogan is at not as bad as throwing LGBTQ people under the bus.

Duncan

Felix drawing dangerously close to Cumtown-type Downs Voice at 31:15 lol

Go'Thrak

Fetterman a Jehovah's Witness?

FeloniousUnc

*to the tune of “Better Man” by Pearl Jam* “He lies and says he’s with his kids, Can’t find John Fetterman”

Craig

But will he have the courage to go full Mullen?

Craig

Very true. The pressure for Mormons only really exists in enclaves like Utah County

Oliver Clozov

mini FDR in his wheelchair instead of the ranger as a drone in battlefield 2042

Benj

Can’t deal with siroya

Joe Hillside

The funniest guy who could have the money funnelled to them is Adam Friedland

Breakaway

Why do you never invite just one of your Mormon buddies fishing? Because he’ll drink all your beer

Orcplow

My MSN homepage thinks Chrissy(sp?) Tiegan’s hair is literally the only thing in the universe that I care about.

Matthew Norton

Ok hear me out... Dems win over young men by spending 20 billion dollars to have Josh Shapiro take every young guy in America bow hunting and teaches them how to dress a wild turkey

Jimmy McMillan

This game's pronouns are brought to you by the Democratic party! Vote blue

Sam Rockwell

The EU produced a game called “Future Gov” that is basically exactly what Felix was describing. Some of the character archetypes from the unfinished game : whistleblower, person without digital identity , micro-preneur, person with disability. The objective was to pass legislation, exhilarating!

Kamran Husain

I feel like chapo listeners should just flood to applications to the make a lib joe rogan startups

Mfusion

How about Bernie Sanders? No, we tried that and it worked

Crosley Querin

Where should the dems funnell money to? The number one centre-left podcast on the market right now: The Adam Friedland Premium Podcast!

CARRIERHASARRIVED

you know, Will's game idea sounds a bit like This Is The Police, a real video game.

Damen Irving

*Footage of a car full of young men pulling into a parking lot. Then a bunch of women in tradewife dresses come out of a building and start darning the men socks.* Voice over: “the Democratic Party: we’ve made some… changes”

Return of The Mac 2nite

The Euro-Amerikan masses are itching for a New Deal style reinvestment. They are overwhelmed with hassling technology that was promised to better their lives. The more tech makes their lives difficult, the less patience they will have when dealing with a capitalist system purposefully designed to screw them.

Chapo Bath House

Queeber is the Joe Rogan of the left. Imagine how many Legos $20m could buy

Blingo Starr

I think the dems need a consultant who graduated one of canadas top business schools with really good grades

T

The Democrats can't give $20 million to Violence Gang LLC

T

Make a game with the character archetype of micro-peeneur

Blingo Starr

I’m sure he’ll be devastated to hear that.

Philip Wailes

Democratic Party must give $20 million to Home Halfway immediately

etienne

I was right at the middle of that Vito arc so technically this counts as a spoiler but I guess after 4 seasons of Sopranos I shouldn't be surprised that the outcome is Bad and that someone dies for no reason

Kendall Hauerwas

Shout out prop 2.5. Every Massachusetts policy wonks least favorite law

Chapo Bath House

FR, I think the Dems could learn something from American Hysteria's queer ode to Jackass, if the Democrats could learn

J

Instead of tax policy debate we need a law that makes all work places employee owned and controled

etienne

a society based on workplace self-management councils, some kind of "Soviet" system, if you will

Peri

“I just wish I could be in a tilt-a-whirl full of my dad” tears in my fucking eyes oh my god that was so good

J

That's a Russian language word that mean council. I like how that's one of the few Russian language words that's never translated for American audiences. I wonder why lol

T33ny

Wow, felix is back on whatever he wasnt on in the previous ep

dawood

fast forwarded to the end to make sure that outro song was there

etienne

joke understander dot com

etienne

not my observation but it's so funny that they named a whole country like the Federation of Management Councils Republics. corporate mumbo jumbo ahh name

No Relation to Henry

A Catholic joke I’ve heard about the difference between Catholics and other religions goes like this: “Jews don’t recognize Jesus as the Messiah; Protestants don’t recognize the Pope as the Vicar of Christ; and Baptists don’t recognize each other at the liquor store.”

D.O.D

I have additional questions, but im also cool not knowing

Muovi

Abundance Hatred is one of the best Felix bits of all time

Matt Berge

Yakuza 0 somewhat meets the GTA + Sim City game idea with the Real Estate minigame, and it makes sense because the game takes place in 1988 and definitely has that abundance mindset built in. The game straight up lets you throw cash at the poors to avoid fights.

Schwartz666

Man, sometimes Arjun's voice sounds so much like our Big Beautiful Boy Matt!

Trelhouse

I think he sounds like Travis from MBMBAM.

Dank Widow

Hope this clears my mental RAM of the Jacques episode

Paul Nakis

I like how Biden aides know to shoot any journalist on sight if they start asking questions about his cognitive capacity, but Fettermam keeps agreeing to uncaffinated interviews on a Tuesday afternoon
