from Central Air · host Josh Barro, Megan McArdle, and Ben Dreyfuss
On this week's show: the arrest of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela and President Trump’s statement that we’ll be “running” the country now. What does the US stand to gain?Plus: a fraud scandal brings down Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and why both parties love to hate a VP figure. Megan makes the case that arts professionals should be wary of boycotting the “Trump Kennedy Center" — while Ben and Josh argue that this is exactly the sort of low-stakes issue where symbolic anti-Trump politics are healthy and welcome — and Josh's on-the-ground dispatch from communist-occupied New York, one week into the Mamdani administration.Sign up for updates from Central Air at www.centralairpodcast.com This is a public episode.
