The Tony Michaels Podcast
Independent political commentary for people who are done with the corporate media filter, billionaire bootlicking, and party-approved talking points — focused on constitutional accountability, concentrated power, and working-class democracy.
Tony Michaels delivers sharp, in-your-face coverage of American politics, democracy, constitutional power, authoritarian threats, corruption, courts, elections, media propaganda, and the working-class fight against oligarchy.
No scripts from the establishment. No pretending both sides are equal when power is being abused. Just news, accountability, and the kind of political talk built for people who still believe democracy is worth fighting for.

The Tony Michaels Podcast
Tucker Carlson CALLED Big Banks Drug Dealers | TMP #1070
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Tucker Carlson just called America's biggest banks "drug dealers."
And whether you agree with Tucker or not, he stumbled onto a question nobody in Washington seems willing to ask:
If borrowers have responsibilities, don't lenders have responsibilities too?
In today's show, Tony Michaels explores how Theodore Roosevelt's Square Deal still speaks to the modern credit card crisis, why millions of Americans are using debt to maintain a standard of living their parents achieved with a paycheck, and how responsibility is supposed to run both ways.
This isn't really a story about credit cards.
It's a story about wages.
It's a story about affordability.
It's a story about whether the deal is still square for working people.
Featuring analysis from General Coffman's latest Coffman Chronicle article, "The Credit Card Crisis Is the Affordability Crisis."

If you love your country but don't trust concentrated power, you're in the right place.
