Brian Tyler Cohen On Fighting Back against Trump Corruption
7/5/202619 min
MeidasTouch founder Ben Meiselas is joined by Brian Tyler Cohen, author of the new book The Day After, for a conversation about the growing disconnect between Donald Trump’s claims about the economy and the reality facing millions of Americans. They discuss how MeidasTouch and other independent media outlets are exposing the real economic data and the everyday struggles of working families, while arguing that Trump’s economic policies have primarily benefited his wealthy allies as many Americans increasingly feel they are living through recession-like or even depression-like conditions.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. Uh, so there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/switch.

Upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12-month plan required. $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only. Greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy. See terms.

Donald Trump is losing control as it's increasingly clear that the national financial data that gets released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and other agencies within the Trump regime seem to be a lot like Donald Trump's personal finances. They seem to basically be fake inflated and deflated, and I think the American people are starting to understand what's going on, and there were a lot of people saying, "Ah, you know, you could still trust the Bureau of Labor Statistics. They're gonna still be accurate." I... Really, under the Trump regime, sorry, because this data [laughs] that we see is raising massive red flags, and I just tend to trust the consumer sentiment where consumers, the people, kind of like the people I talk to, who feel that right now things are worse th- than during the Great Depression. The worst consumer surveys, like, basically in the history of the surveys. That seems to be where most people are right now and not what the Trump regime is putting out there.
