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
Who's Really Raising Your Grocery Bill? | TMP #1076
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A retired electrician and a 24-year-old grocery clerk have something in common.
Neither one of them started a war.
Yet both of them are paying for one.
In today's Opening Argument, Tony Michaels tells the story of two Americans standing on opposite sides of a checkout lane who discover they're living inside the same economic squeeze. One can't afford the groceries. The other can't afford the groceries she sells.
Meanwhile, grocery prices keep rising, wages struggle to keep up, and the people making the biggest decisions rarely stand in the checkout line with the rest of us.
Who really benefits when working people blame each other instead of asking who holds the power?
