Jared Yates Sexton on a Post-neoliberal Vision for America, When the Scourge of Trumpism Is Over

12 Jan 2026 | Jared Yates Sexton joins Anthony Davis to discuss the collapse of neoliberalism and the rise of authoritarian capitalism in the United States. How decades of wealth redistribution, weakened democracy, and global exploitation have created the conditions for Trump’s rise and how neoliberalism evolved into oligarchic control, why cost-of-living pressures fuel political anger, and the dangers of normalizing cruelty, white nationalism, and repression. Together, they examine the urgent need for a hopeful, material alternative vision for America’s future - only on The Weekend Show.

It cracks me up when I hear pundits and politicians alike repeat the mantra that America is the richest country in the world. Don’t these people know that America is on its ARSE? America’s NATIONAL DEBT is approximately $38.4 TRILLION. So, how can it possibly be the “richest country in the world”? The country, like most of its citizens, is living on TICK, on CREDIT that other countries like China kindly offer the PROFLIGATE Americans TO BAIL THEM OUT. The notion that America is the richest country in the world is, quite frankly, A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS. — © Mark Alexander

George Monbiot: New UK PM Liz Truss Has "Extreme Neoliberal" Anti-Labor, Anti-Environment Record

Sep 6, 2022 The United Kingdom's Conservative Party has voted for Liz Truss to become its new leader, replacing Boris Johnson and making her Britain's next prime minister. Truss served as foreign secretary under Johnson and has a record of "extreme neoliberal policies," says British journalist George Monbiot. These include supporting tax cuts for the wealthy, deregulating the fossil fuel industry and refusing to regulate agricultural pollution. Monbiot also warns Truss will undermine the country's model public health system and labor rights for organizing workers.
