The “Big Six” has unveiling a basic framework for their new tax plan, and sadly, it is a bunch of nonsense that is more of a cup and ball game than real reform. Some deductions are increased, others are lessened. Some rates are lower, but who they apply to remains to be known. Both parties […] The post Ep 324 – The GOP Tax Plan appeared first on PREUSSPODCAST.COM.

Despite what is being sold to the American public, the DACA replacement bill is nothing more than backdoor amnesty. Even though Republicans are claiming that their new bill won’t encourage future illegal immigration, it has been proven time and again that amnesty only leads to more problems. Also, rapper B.o.B has set up a GoFundMe […] The post Ep 323 – Republican Amnesty appeared first on PREUSSPODCAST.COM.

The pathetic US Senator from Maine, Susan Collins, has sent a message to her Republican colleagues in Washington – the GOP Obamacare replacement is dead on arrival. Although she has campaigned against Obamacare for years, once in office, she refuses to repeal it. Not for economic or logistical reasons (like Rand Paul) but because it […] The post Ep 322 – Susan Collins Damns Healthcare appeared first on PREUSSPODCAST.COM.

The leader of the free world is poised against his fiercest opponent to date in “Trump Against the NFL”. Sadly, this isn’t a joke, and the most powerful human on Earth is actually taking shots at football players who refuse to stand for the national anthem.

Jeff Berwick, the man behind the Dollar Vigilante joins Tim for a one-on-one chat about the coming economic and social collapse, and how we can prepare for it. $20 trillion in debt is unsustainable, and Jeff predicts things could come crashing down in as little as a couple years. The two also chat about how diet, […] The post Ep 320 – Jeff Berwick appeared first on PREUSSPODCAST.COM.

Thomas DiLorenzo is on the line to dispel with a number of economic fallacies surrounding the “new” idea of “economic nationalism”. The ideas in fact aren’t new, and although DiLorenzo is a part of the Austrian school of economics, tariffs and protectionism have been almost universally agreed on by economists throughout history to be poor […] The post Ep 319 – Thomas DiLorenzo appeared first on PREUSSPODCAST.COM.

Senator Bernie Sanders made it to the podium this week to introduce a plan for “Medicare for all”. What he fails to realize is that healthcare, like all other scarce resources, is not, and cannot be, a right. The troubling thing is that he refuses to acknowledge all of the negative aspects of the socialized healthcare […] The post Ep 315 – Dissecting Sanders appeared first on PREUSSPODCAST.COM.

Tim and Ande get into a discussion on international trade and tariffs. Since taking office, Donald Trump has convinced enough people that free trade is actually a net-negative for America. Unfortunately, this line of thinking goes against history, economics, and basic logic. Frederic Bastiat wrote an interesting sophism back in the 1800s called “A Petition” […] The post Ep 314 – Trade and Tariffs appeared first on PREUSSPODCAST.COM.

Ted Cruz had a bit of a “whoops” moment early Tuesday morning. Apparently he (or a “staffer”) ‘liked’ a pornographic Twitter post, and his name was magically trending at 2am. Fantastic! If nothing else, it was worth a chuckle. Parents are reporting that their number one concern for children returning to school is bullying. Really? […] The post Ep 313 – Ted Cruz, Bullies, and Pedophiles appeared first on PREUSSPODCAST.COM.

In the days surrounding 9/11, many on the “right” or “alt-right” openly show their ignorance by painting all of Islam with a broad brush. There was no good reason for the terrorist attacks of 2001, but by blaming a religion and refusing to acknowledge how American actions could have played a role, we condemn ourselves […] The post Ep 312 – Understanding Islam appeared first on PREUSSPODCAST.COM.

In a 60 Minutes interview, Steve Bannon made it painfully clear that he favors what he calls “economic nationalism”. What IS that though? Quite simply, it’s a new name for failed big-government policies that have been implemented throughout history, and have been debunked ever since Adam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations in 1776. Call it what […] The post Ep 311 – Economic Nationalism vs Economic Freedom appeared first on PREUSSPODCAST.COM.

During his campaign, Donald Trump spoke about the nation’s out of control spending and debt – but that was as a candidate, now he’s in office, and just like everyone else, he turned out to be full of it. In a deal struck between the President, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi, the trio are working on a […] The post Ep 310 – Trump Sold Us Out appeared first on PREUSSPODCAST.COM.

Well hey – they can’t all be winners, right? This episode is a bit of a cluster-f**k, but it still all makes sense if you don’t think about it too much. The post Ep 309 – Can’t All Be Winners appeared first on PREUSSPODCAST.COM.

Ande returns to continue the discussion of Trump’s decision to end the DACA program that allowed underage illegal immigrants to stay in the United States. Right on schedule, the phony outrage hit.

Donald Trump is taking aim at Barack Obama’s “dreamers” – young people who were brought into America illegally. Trump plans to repeal DACA, but establishment Republicans and every Democrat is up in arms about it. First, they pull on your heart strings and talk about children. Unless you’re a cold hearted bastard, you’ll agree that it […] The post Ep 307 – Wake Up, Dreamers! appeared first on PREUSSPODCAST.COM.

Making millions of dollars every year isn’t enough to satisfy athletes that decide to take a knee during the national anthem. Not only do they figuratively give the finger to their fans, but not one of them is protesting anything legitimately wrong with America. Are they protesting the crime in the inner cities, the black […] The post Ep 306 – Ungrateful Athletes appeared first on PREUSSPODCAST.COM.
