Matt Taibbi: Okay, welcome to America This Week. I’m Matt Taibbi. Walter Kirn: And I’m Walter Kirn. Matt Taibbi: First of all, apologies to everybody for Monday. I had an ordeal that lasted about five days that was funny, and someday I’ll tell the story, but it ended on Monday afternoon with my head pounding so severely that I don’t think, doing the show would’ve been a comic exercise. It probably would’ve gone viral for the wrong reasons.

I need constant heat. I don’t generate my own. Matt Taibbi: We’re all becoming like orchids in a Raymond Chandler novel, sadly. Walter Kirn: Yeah.

Like I said. Trump found the on-and-off switch -- or the remote, let's say Wall St. wants the remote back Gimme!
@AmericaWeek @mtaibbi @walterkirn Hi @walterkirn - thought you'd find @chamath's take interesting in the evident you didn't catch it. Overton on X: "Chamath says the media is pushing a lie and it’s all about control. “There is an entire wing of the media that is now trying to say that the president ‘blinked,’”
Oddly enough, Bernie agrees They should do a road show together with Neil Young
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink is in full panic mode over Trump’s new tariffs, warning they’re shaking global markets and pushing the U.S. toward deeper economic trouble.
