Summary

In this week's Politics Block we take a call from a listener asking about the Save Act and what, if any, restrictions should be placed on potential voters' rights. We then discuss Trump's "Big Beautiful Tax Bill," seeking to determine just how progressive or regressive it actually is. We close with a brief teaser about the effect Modern Monetary Theory might have on the tax issue.

0:05.7

I'm getting ready to talk a little politics.

0:08.0

Yeah, that's right.

0:09.1

So excited.

Yeah, it's very exciting.

0:12.8

Before we get into politics real quick, I really like this song.

0:17.8

I'm sure you've heard it because I put it on the DXP playlist in 2023 by Feist and Ben Gibbard called The Train Song.

0:25.5

Yeah, yeah. What's it called again? The train song. Yeah. Like I love it. Every time it

0:29.8

comes in, I'm like, God, I love this. I love this song so much. And like I said,

0:33.7

I put it on the DXP playlist song or our playlist on Spotify for 2023.

0:41.7

And I think I'd been listening to it for six months or so. And I'm like, this song is so great.

0:46.5

How like I, and I didn't know anything about it. And this, the reason I'm thinking about this is

0:50.0

because there's a song that I really like right now called Lil Mama by this, I don't know,

band person, I don't know, called Jane, J-A-I-N. And I just heard it the other day, like on the radio. And I, not the radio, but like my playlist. And I'm like, what is this? This is so good.

And I'm like, because I'm going to put this on the summer DXP playlist this year, which I'm still going to put it on there, but it's new for me. But anyway, back to the train song by Feist and Ben Gibbard two days ago and my memories on Facebook,

1:28.3

it popped up where I'm like, I wrote, wow, I love this. And it was, it was this song.

1:35.4

And it was 13 years ago. The Feist Van Gibber song? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So my memory is getting

1:42.0

1:51.9

watching something like a TV show and there'll be a song on. I'm like, dude, this song is wild. I love
