24:06Now PlayingJim Acosta and Molly riff on what they see as the chaos and cynicism of Trump-era politics, from alleged market manipulation and Middle East brinkmanship around the Strait of Hormuz to ethical lapses and “grifts” among elites, while also skewering the spectacle of Pentagon messaging—especially a viral clip of Pete Hegseth seemingly quoting a fabricated “Bible” verse popularized by Pulp Fiction—and the growing accommodation of power by major media institutions. Their discussion widens into public anger over economic inequality (symbolized by “DoorDash grandma”), proposals to tax ultra-wealthy second-home owners in New York, frustration with Democratic leadership and messaging, and the fear that institutional complacency is normalizing increasingly extreme behavior, before ending on a note of gallows-humor optimism drawn from political developments abroad, like Hungary’s pushback against state-aligned media.
