In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy show how many millions of voters having only $10 to their name can lead to disastrous societal consequences and that orange-flavored meth will not save the day. In the second half, Max interviews Henry Giroux, author of the forthcoming book, America at War with Itself. They discuss the descent into absurdity as demonstrated by the latest presidential clown show. What makes this election different from other examples of US political circus, says Giroux, is that Donald Trump has benefited from the United States’ culture of 24/7 media coverage.
Our most important fundraising appeal of the year
December is the most critical time of year for Truthout, because our nonprofit news is funded almost entirely by individual donations from readers like you. So before you navigate away, we ask that you take just a second to support Truthout with a tax-deductible donation.
This year is a little different. We are up against a far-reaching, wide-scale attack on press freedom coming from the Trump administration. 2025 was a year of frightening censorship, news industry corporate consolidation, and worsening financial conditions for progressive nonprofits across the board.
We can only resist Trump’s agenda by cultivating a strong base of support. The right-wing mediasphere is funded comfortably by billionaire owners and venture capitalist philanthropists. At Truthout, we have you.
We’ve set an ambitious target for our year-end campaign — a goal of $112,000 to keep up our fight against authoritarianism in 2026. Please take a meaningful action in this fight: make a one-time or monthly donation to Truthout before December 31. If you have the means, please dig deep.
