Wed, 05 Mar 2025
Michael Kosta tackles Trump launching a trade war with Canada, Trudeau responding to Trump with a "disappointed dad" message, and the GOP blaming Biden for stock market issues. Plus, Grace Kuhlenschmidt unlocks American pride as things with Canada get ugly. Trump voters, Tesla owners, and Yeezy wearers are all suffering from buyer's remorse right now. Ricky Velez offers some advice for dealing with the disappointment and getting rid of your now Nazi-affiliated purchases. Mae Martin, an award-winning comedian, actor, and writer, sits down with Michael Kosta to discuss “I’m a TV,” their debut album as a singer-songwriter. They talk about the differences between performing as a stand-up and as a musician, finding new vulnerability as a songwriter after their top surgery, the solemn inspiration behind the song “Big Bear,” and that one time they got a tattoo using a stick and poke kit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm Michael Kosta. Donald Trump just wrapped up his joint address to Congress, and we'll have full coverage on that tomorrow. But tonight, Republicans want to start cleaning up chicken shit. Joe Biden crop-dusted the economy on his way out, and relations with Canada are about to get ugly. But first, our ongoing segment, the second coming of Donald J. Trump. Donald Trump has been busy.
In the past couple of days, he's switched sides in the war in Ukraine, announced a national crypto reserve, and dismantled the National Weather Service, because part of the fun of experiencing a Category 5 hurricane is the surprise. Trump's been so busy that I was getting worried he'd forgotten his plan to start a North American trade war. But my boy, he put it on the cow.
We begin with the breaking news in America's escalating trade war, and it's dramatic.

Chapter 2: How is Trump's trade war affecting the US economy?
I remember starting out doing open mics as a comedian, and I would bomb, and it was so silent. Then I would watch shitty musicians go up, and they would bomb, but there's noise.
There's noise.
And I was envious of musicians in that regard.
Well, it's also nice not to be alone, because there's a drummer, and I have a whole band, and so it's nice to have that support.
When you're writing music, are you naturally trying to not find a punchline? You know what I mean?
The world is not that funny right now, so it's not hard. No, no, I mean, I'm really enjoying the opportunity to be earnest and, yeah.
What inspired you to make the album now?
I guess, well, I just, I'm Canadian, as we mentioned.
As we established, because we're going to get a Nobel Peace Prize for that beginning where we shook hands. Yeah, exactly.
