How Super PACs Control Politics | Iran and The Economy w/ Hunter Howell | ZFS 59
Episode 59
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
The Zach Foust Show features Hunter Howell, a political pundit focused on economic corruption and insider trading. We break down Citizens United and why it opened the floodgates for super PACs and dark money. Then we get into how politicians build war chests, why both parties get funded by the same interests, and how much of Congress is really run by staff behind the scenes.
From there, we connect the corruption conversation to the bigger headlines, Iran, oil, and why markets can move off narratives and even presidential tweets. We wrap with practical resources for how to research political funding yourself and how Hunter thinks about building a third lane through economic populism.
