Episode Details

Did Washington spend years nudging automakers to put an annoying feature into millions of cars nobody asked for, only to watch drivers file complaint after complaint while the constitutional fight underneath it grew even bigger than the dashboard button itself?

The machine said trust the experts, trust the credits, trust the regulators. Now the feature is under fire, the legal foundation behind years of climate regulation is in the crosshairs, and the real question is no longer whether auto stop-start is annoying. It is who gets to engineer your choices in the first place.

Meanwhile:

🌍 MARCO RUBIO IS ASKING THE NATO QUESTION HE USED TO HELP PREVENT -- the man who helped build the legal architecture protecting the alliance is now openly wondering what America is getting in return when allies will not fully cooperate at the moment it matters most.

🏟️ KANSAS AND MISSOURI ARE BACK IN A FULL-BLOWN BORDER WAR -- the Chiefs are already heading across the line, the Royals are still in play, and politicians are preparing to light taxpayer money on fire while calling it economic development.

🪓 ARGENTINA'S POVERTY RATE JUST FELL HARD UNDER JAVIER MILEI -- the global left said the chainsaw would destroy the poor. The numbers are telling a very different story, and now the people who predicted disaster are scrambling for a new explanation.

🔥 We break down the auto stop-start regulatory mess, Marco Rubio’s NATO reckoning, the taxpayer scam at the heart of the Kansas-Missouri stadium fight, and why Milei’s results are becoming impossible for the establishment to explain away.

🎙️ @rarecamellia joins me to break down the Kansas-Missouri border war, the stadium subsidy shell game, and whether either state is actually helping its people.

🎙️ @lilialemoine joins me from Argentina on Milei’s poverty numbers, the political backlash, and what the rest of the world still does not understand about what is happening there.

Join us live. Bring coffee. The regulators brought the dashboard button, Rubio brought the NATO receipts, and Kansas brought the taxpayer checkbook.
