The Assault On Social Security | Alex Lawson | TMR

16 February 2025

Live-streamed on January 7, 2025

Alex Lawson, executive director of Social Security Works, to discuss President Biden signing the Social Security Fairness Act into law.

Alex Lawson then joins, quickly running through the recent debates over social security – from the Trump-Musk push to cut it via the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to Biden’s recent passage of the Social Security Fairness Act – before taking a major step back to the Reagan Administration as he walks through Reagan’s sweeping WEP and GPO kneecaps to Social Security, serving to cut all benefits by 14% and completely carving teachers, police officers, and firefighters out of the system, respectively, and serving to bolster the rapid development of wealth inequality over the four decades since, helped all the while by the shift from defined-benefit pensions to defined-contribution 401ks. Jumping back to the modern day, Alex, Sam, and Emma unpack the attacks to be expected as Trump’s DOGE takes over, from addressing supposed concerns about growing life expectancy – a development only affecting the wealthy – to attempts to make it more “profitable” by undercutting benefits rather than raising revenue, and tackling the unsurprising solution of simply lifting (or even eliminating) the income cap that prevents wealthy people from paying their fair share into the system. Wrapping up, they assess the overwhelming popularity of Social Security (outside of DC, of course), and what it will take to protect it.

Finding The Antidote to Disaster Nationalism

15 February 2025

View transcript

Live-streamed on January 13, 2025

Richard Seymour, writer & commentator based in London, joins to discuss his recent book Disaster Nationalism: The Downfall of Liberal Civilization.

https://www.versobooks.com/products/3147-disaster-nationalism?srsltid=AfmBOoqT_iaW9QBOiDijkrdU_wWXur6_0TumVPBwYYJKSMs9nu5ifsoD

After touching on the particular display of Disaster Nationalism developing in Israel’s ongoing genocide of Gaza, Richard, Sam, and Emma then look at the role of the left in combatting these pressures, tackling the history of trade unions in leading the fight against fascism, and the importance of organizing when it comes to finding agency, empowerment, and community in the face of systems that want you to have anything but.

Falling For The Tech Bro Siren Song | Eoin Higgins | TMR

15 February 2025

View transcript

Live-streamed on February 5, 2025

Eoin Higgins, independent journalist, discusses his newly released book Owned: How Tech Billionaires on the Right Bought the Loudest Voices on the Left

https://x.com/eoinhiggins_

https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/eoin-higgins/owned/9781645030461/

Eoin Higgins then jumps right into his recent work unpacking the role the media – and Big Tech’s investment in alternatives – played in bolstering Tech Bros’ evolution into a Tech Br-oligarchy, looking particularly into the transitions into right-wing grifterdom made by supposedly idealistic, liberal-minded journalists Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi. Higgins explores how both of these journalists got their start as heavy critics of the Bush Administration, with Glenn playing a particularly important role in exposing their major abuses of the national security state, before the arrival of Obama in office seemingly began a slow shift away from the liberal media institutions they had been working hand-in-hand with – be they independent or mainstream – with Higgins importantly noting how their rhetorical disposition to the mainstream organizations (be they MSNBC or Fox News) was seemingly deeply tied to… how often they were invited on the show. After walking Sam and Emma through the ultimate departure of these two from the left with the mainstream liberal embrace of Russiagate and #MeToo, Eoin dives into their ultimate arrival in the media niche among the growing independent social media outlets, like Substack and Patreon, where they could publish work and cultivate a following outside of the mediasphere they’d felt so rejected by, with Big Tech backers like Marc Andreessen playing an important role in helping them thrive there, while also actively disrupting the mainstream media industry that was so keen on critiquing them. Wrapping up the interview, Eoin touches on the role Taibbi played in Elon Musk’s Twitter files, and what Big Tech’s successful media disruption can tell us about their ultimate goals for the US government.
