TGS Live: Argentina Bailout, Nobel Prize in Economics, Another Civil War & More
My team and I are gearing up for the next livestream, which is happening this Friday, October 17 (that’s tomorrow) at 1:00 PM EDT. I can’t wait to get back on the mic and talk with you all, and I wanted to drop you a line to tell you about some of the topics we’re cooking up.
Trump’s $40 billion loan (or bailout, depending on how you view it) to Argentina raises some questions—it’s good to strengthen our relationship with a regional ally, but is Trump selling out US farmers in the process? The 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics was announced this week, and yours truly was cited in the relevant paper. I saw Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film One Battle After Another, and I gotta talk about it with you guys. Tucker says civil war may be upon us—is that hysteria or foresight? And Barack Obama was the guest for the final episode of Marc Maron’s WTF podcast. Obama says Americans shouldn’t be so focused on money and materialism—pretty rich, coming from him.
We’ll see how much of this we get to tomorrow, and how much more we add before then. We’re still pulling together material. So if you’ve got a news story you think would make good fodder for conversation, drop a link in the comments. I want to know what you’re thinking about, and I want to hear from you directly. Tune in and call in during the show.

Trump responds to No Kings rallies by posting an image of him dumping feces on protestors from a jet aircraft. This is the man Stephen A Smith wants Jasmine Crockett to appease.
Coates points out current day problems. His message inspires many. He simply points out some battles will not be won. The fight goes on. To simply say “We won” and cast Coates to the netherworld misses the point that voting rights are being taken away and Black history is being erased. If we “won”, it seems like a somewhat hollow victory. There is no sense of giving up in Coates’ message.
