Episode Details

This week on Look Forward, the guys finally return from their hiatus to bring in a new show format (still developing), discuss in heavy details what Donald Trump's incoming tariff plans are and what they do to the American economy, what they will not do as he promises, how the international leaders are reacting to the tariffs, and much more on the topic. In our "News You Need" section, we breakdown the pearl-clutching from the Right and some on the far Left that after President Joe Biden announces that he will in fact pardon his son, Hunter, which goes against what he has previously stated on the matter. Trump's border czar Tom Homan and incoming head of the FBI signal that they will have no issues in stomping on states rights and gutting the FBI and using it to go after their perceived political enemies. Discussion on Trump's incoming cabinet members that's a real who's who of SAers, bigots, morons, unqualified dummies, and bog standard hedge fund dirtbags. Also, we've revamped "This Week in Stupid" just a bit to something a little more direct. Welcome back to the crazy!

Big Topic

• The tariff plan - why it doesn’t matter what actually happens; Trump will declare victory regardless
  • China, Canada, and Mexico…welcome to the party pal
  • BRIC Countries, welcome to the show

News You Need

• “They’re going to call you a socialist regardless”
  • Biden pardons Hunter. Good - fuck what the GOP thinks. Dems need to use the weapons available to them. We’re past norms
  • Care about Tom Homan saying they’re going to prosecute uncooperative Democratic mayors and Kash Patel potentially weaponizing DOJ

• All the stars are here! (Cabinet and administration picks so far)
  • Trump has inadvertently made Mike Johnson’s life a living hell

What’s Dumber, A Brick or a A Republican?
