Matt Rothschild and Angela Lang dive into the devastating Texas floods, raising questions about government response and the impact of budget cuts on weather services. They criticize Trump and Musk for gutting federal agencies, linking it to other political failures. The podcast shifts to discuss the U.S.'s aggressive foreign policy, particularly concerning Iran, highlighting fears of escalation and regime change. The conversation touches on Christian Zionism's influence and the troubling Trump-Netanyahu alliance. Matt and Angela were joined by Zoltan Grossmann, author of Unlikely Alliances: Native Nations and White Communities Join to Defend Rural Lands, where listeners are urged to resist neo-fascism through grassroots organizing and confronting uncomfortable truths.
