Full episode

Zach Weissmueller of Reason speaks with former Reagan budget director David Stockman about Donald Trump's recent criticism of Congressman Thomas Massie. Trump labeled himself a "fiscal hawk" while suggesting Massie should be voted out of office for his opposition to government spending. Stockman responds sharply, disputing Trump’s fiscal credentials and defending Massie as one of the most principled and knowledgeable fiscal conservatives in Congress. He contrasts Massie’s diligence with what he sees as Trump’s irresponsible economic messaging and approach to governance.
