Episode 5 of No Tacos for Tyrants is a whirlwind of political chaos, personal karma, and a journey into the absurdity of our modern world. Host Matt Mihaly kicks off with a savage takedown of Thanksgiving family dynamics and how the justice system finally gave us a moment of pure schadenfreude. From there, we tackle Trump’s plans to invade Mexico, the brutal takedown of Pete Hegseth by his own mother, and why Mark Zuckerberg’s trip to Mar-a-Lago is the perfect picture of tech bro subservience in an authoritarian world. Plus, we unpack Australia’s groundbreaking social media ban for kids under 16 and the messy influencer drama that could redefine copyright law.

On the policy front, Matt explores how prediction markets foresaw Trump’s victory better than the polls and dives into the global climate crisis as the ultimate tragedy of the commons. We also highlight a game-changing carbon-capture powder that could outpace trees in cleaning the air and celebrate England’s bold move to legalize assisted suicide. To wrap up, Matt leaves us with Techbro Messiah, a musical diss track about everyone’s least favorite oligarch, Elon Musk. Packed with irreverence, insight, and just enough rage to keep it spicy, this episode is one you don’t want to miss!
