The Glenn Loury News Hour

<p>Support The Glenn Show at https://glennloury.substack.com</p><p>I spent part of last week visiting Stanford University, and John is off taking care of business in Australia. The time difference, travel, and speaking obligations made scheduling a recording impossible. So this week, I’ve got something a little different for you. Instead of recording a conversation on the day’s news with John, I decided to record one on my own. In this episode, I talk through some opinion pieces that grabbed my attention and give my take on the topics. I address <strong>Trump and the economy</strong>, Trump’s <strong>predictability and unpredictability</strong>, DOGE and MAGA’s <strong>slashing of the federal government</strong>, <strong>Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest</strong>, a<strong>ntisemitism</strong>, and attacks on <strong>Tesla cars, dealerships, and charging stations</strong>. This is a bit of an experiment—my team and I wanted to see what would happen if I gave it a shot. Let me know how it’s working for you in the comments.</p><p>These pieces are all quite relevant as of this posting, on Monday afternoon. But by Friday? Who knows. So I decided to release this episode simultaneously to both free and full subscribers. If you like getting The Glenn Show a few days early, <strong>consider becoming a full subscriber</strong>. You’ll get new episodes early, plus access to monthly Q&amp;As with John McWhorter, bonus episodes, and other exclusive content. </p><p>Become a full subscriber at https://glennloury.substack.com</p><p><strong>Video Links</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGUhqSft0p0&#38;t=151s" target="_blank">2:31</a> The opportunities and risks of Trump's economic plans</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGUhqSft0p0&#38;t=410s" target="_blank">6:50</a> Is Trump as unpredictable as he seems?</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGUhqSft0p0&#38;t=960s" target="_blank">16:00</a> DOGE and MAGA take a chainsaw to the federal government</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGUhqSft0p0&#38;t=1350s" target="_blank">22:30</a> An argument against Mahmoud Khalil's detention ...</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGUhqSft0p0&#38;t=1969s" target="_blank">32:49</a> ... and one in favor of Khalil's detention</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGUhqSft0p0&#38;t=2498s" target="_blank">41:38</a> Is it time for an official ban on antisemitism?</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGUhqSft0p0&#38;t=2954s" target="_blank">49:14</a> Teslas are burning</p><p>Recorded March 14, 2025</p><p><strong>Links and Readings</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/03/14/trump_and_the_economy_opportunities_and_risks_152501.html" target="_blank">Steve Cortes’s RCP piece, “Trump and the Economy: Opportunities and Risks”</a></p><p><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-trumps-washington/trumps-uncertainty-doctrine" target="_blank">Susan Glasser’s </a><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-trumps-washington/trumps-uncertainty-doctrine" target="_blank"><em>New Yorker</em></a><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-trumps-washington/trumps-uncertainty-doctrine" target="_blank"> piece, “Uncertainty Is Trump’s Brand.
