We're talking about a 2% annual tax on net worth above $50 million, an additional 1% surtax on billionaires, and a staggering 40% exit tax on anyone worth over $50 million who renounces their citizenship. And critically, this is a tax on what you own — not what you earn. Tom and Drew dig into the Iran conflict head-on: Did Trump bite off more than he could chew? Was this a strategic masterstroke or a $50 billion mistake that destabilized our alliances and solved nothing? They unpack the real motivations behind the conflict — from nuclear proliferation fears to economic ambition — and ask the question most pundits are too afraid to answer: what did we actually get for it? Tom breaks down why the war timeline was wrong from day one, what it means that we're already in week five of a "3 to 4 week endeavor," and why that single data point tells you almost everything you need to know about how well Washington actually understands this conflict. The big question on the table: boots on the ground. Tom argues that while there's theoretically a path where a ground presence works, the odds are vanishingly low — and the political fallout could be catastrophic. We're already watching historically Republican seats flip in special elections. A full ground invasion of Iran wouldn't just be a military gamble. It could be the end of the Republican Party as we know it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	If you guys are paying attention to what's going on in the government, Elizabeth Warren is putting a new
0:06.2	tax proposal on the docket. And so just yesterday, she announced a new proposal that is completely
0:14.4	insane. It's a wealth tax, not an income tax. So this, you're not being tax on money that you're
0:20.6	making. This is a tax on the things that you own.
0:23.6	It is confiscatory.
0:25.6	It is the government stealing from you.
0:28.6	This new proposal is another one in an endless parade of economically illiterate politicians
0:38.2	that are robbing American workers blind.
0:40.9	You guys, you guys are being robbed blind
0:43.6	with deficit spending, fraud,
0:46.2	and then they erode their own tax base
0:49.7	because wealth will flee.
0:51.8	The second you start doing this stuff, the people that can move will move.
0:56.4	This is the ultra-millionaire tax, as it's lovingly being called. It would impose an annual
1:02.0	2% tax on the net worth of households and trusts over $50 million and an additional 1%
1:09.6	surtax on billionaires. So net worth over a billion. Remember,
1:13.1	this is all about net worth. The bill has 45 co-sponsors in the house. It's led by reps
1:19.9	Pramilla Jaipal and Brendan Boyle. The tax base would consist of a household's financial and
1:27.0	non-financial assets, stocks, land,
1:30.4	things like that, all at market prices as the IRS determines it, which will, of course,
1:35.1	absolutely crater when people go to sell them. Now, they will have to sell them to pay the tax
1:39.9	because these are unrealized gains. I'm trying to protect myself, obviously,
