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!

Join me as I dive into another chaotic week of politics, culture, and everything in between. From the absurdities of Matt Gaetz’s new side hustle on Cameo to the SecDef nominee's hard-on for killing Americans, we'll look at the absurity of the Trump admin before diving into how Dems consistently fail to play hardball. Plus, we’ll discuss Texas’s latest attempt to bring Bible-based curriculum into elementary schools and the echoes such moves have with historical fascist parallels. Spoiler alert: no tacos for these people!

But it’s not all doom and gloom. We’ll talk about the GLP-1 drugs that are disrupting America’s addiction to junk food, the inspiring Maori protest in New Zealand’s parliament, and my undying love for Lord of the Rings (yes, I’m going to Hobbiton soon). Oh, and in Muskwatch, Elon continues to prove the simulation is broken, somehow managing to become the #1 Diablo IV player while cozying up to Mango Mussolini.

Buckle up for Episode 4—it’s a ride.

In this episode of No Tacos For Tyrants, host Matt Mihaly gets into the intersection of high-stakes geopolitics, oligarchic influence, and the ever-growing role of Bitcoin in shaping the next era of American power.

From North Korea’s troops discovering the internet (and its, uh, darker corners) to the chaos brewing in Trump’s kakistocratic cabinet, Matt leaves no stone unturned.

You’ll learn how the crypto industry’s influence is shaping policy under Trump and how Biden’s decision to arm Ukraine with long-range missiles could have massive geopolitical consequences.

The episode also tackles the unsurprising but problematic appointment of RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Matt makes some recommendations as to how Trump could have really stepped up his troll game and made even worse picks.

On a brighter note, the show highlights some good news, like Jimmy Carter’s 10th Grammy nomination and the discovery of the world’s largest coral reef in the South Pacific. There’s always a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos!

In this episode of No Tacos For Tyrants, host Matt Mihaly dives headfirst into the chaotic landscape of politics, power, and billionaires behaving badly. Kicking things off with a reflection on the recent election losses, Matt shares insights from comedian Trae Crowder on the Democratic Party’s identity crisis and the GOP's strategic propaganda machine.

Then, it's time for “Muskwatch,” a new recurring segment that unpacks the latest antics from Elon Musk. Once widely-admired, Musk’s transformation into a self-styled supervillain raises questions about his motives, political sway, and future ambitions. Matt offers a candid look at the tech titan’s influence on everything from electric vehicles to space exploration and, potentially, government restructuring, and how Musk is already personally profiting off the election results.

Finally, Matt rounds things off with a dose of humor as he reviews Trump’s latest Cabinet picks, which aren't funny at all. From dubious defense appointments to a potential “co-Presidency” between Trump and Musk, there’s no shortage of unsettling developments to discuss.

Ending on a positive note, he shares three “good things” to remind us all that not everything in the world is quite so grim.

In this, the first episode of the pod, Matt dives into his rage and disappointment about the election and who he's angry with (Trump, Elon, Biden, etc), examines some 'whys' and finishes with an inspirational and, let's be honest, potentially cringey message of hope and resistance.

Hold the line, America. Hold the line.
