Dylan Ratigan's iconic 2011 MSNBC rant predicted the challenges that define America's political life today. In this episode, Ratigan and Carlo talk Washington's bipartisan corruption, the systematic extraction of wealth from ordinary Americans, Trump's market manipulation, and whether the U.S. dollar's reserve currency status is at risk. Ratigan also opens up about why he walked away from MSNBC at the height of his show, how Sanders and Trump both tapped into the same economic populist rage he was sounding the alarm on 15 years ago and what comes next after today's "era of destruction."Ask Dylan: https://dylanratigan.substack.com/Euforia: https://euforia-sneakers.com/ 00:00:00 — Intro00:01:33 — Dylan Ratigan's 2011 rant revisited00:07:21 — Obama's original sin00:13:00 — Why Ratigan walked from MSNBC00:18:12 — How Trump hijacked economic populism00:20:28 — The golden age of corruption00:25:03 — Is "both parties bad" letting Trump off?00:36:29 — Is the dollar's reserve status at risk?00:47:09 — Destruction comes before creation- - - - - - - - - - - -Get more Carlo by subscribing to The 1600 newsletter, with fresh columns on the latest news in your inbox every Monday through Friday: https://the-1600.beehiiv.com/ Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1LOS84P...

Carlo is joined by Axios national energy correspondent Amy Harder to unpack how the AI boom is rapidly reshaping America’s energy system and sidelining climate politics. They dig into the explosive rise of AI data centers, why the power grid isn’t built to handle the demand, and the growing push to take data centers off‑grid. Harder explains why natural gas is winning for now, why nuclear, carbon capture, and even fusion are getting a second look, and how Trump’s energy agenda is accelerating a major shift. The race to power AI, she argues, may end up forcing the clean‑energy breakthroughs that politics couldn’t deliver.Harder Line: https://www.amyharder.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chips  Podcast: https://climate.uchicago.edu/shocked/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
