Can You Afford to Be a Socialist? A Candid Conversation on Privilege and Responsibility
In this lively and often humorous discussion, the hosts take the “Can You Afford to Be a Socialist?” test, comparing the privilege of political figures -
like a candidate who quit his job at 33 because his wealthy Hollywood parents could bankroll him…
to their own middle-class upbringings and expectations
They explore generational attitudes toward independence, share personal stories about living at home to pay off debt, and reflect on how economic reality shapes ideology.
Along the way, they touch on rising housing costs, student loan burdens, and the social dynamics of moving back in with parents.
If you’ve ever wondered how privilege intersects with politics, or laughed about the idea of your parents funding your mid-30s gap year, this conversation is for you.
Congress Moves to Slash Billions from Foreign Aid as Families Reconsider Political Divides
In this broadcast, Tara breaks down a historic $9 billion Senate-approved funding cut targeting controversial programs like USAID, NPR, and PBS - calling it a first step toward deeper cuts that could reach hundreds of billions.
She argues that USAID has long functioned as a “power center” for the CIA, funneling taxpayer money to enemies like the Taliban and Hamas.
The segment details how USAID allegedly propped up terror groups and opium production, contributing to American casualties abroad.
Tara then shifts to a New York Times op-ed urging readers to stop ostracizing conservative relatives over COVID and Trump, reflecting on her own painful experiences of political shunning.
She questions whether apologies will ever come and whether the country can heal its divisions.
Listener texts pour in, sharing stories of fractured families and unexpected reconciliations.
