You Can Call Him Al
The guest on this week’s Al Franken podcast is writer Michael Lewis. And the two look at the damage done to the country through Elon Musk and DOGE, and the massive cuts of tens of thousands of jobs. As Al writes --
“Our friend, Michael Lewis, author of ‘The Big Short’ and, most recently, ‘Who is Government?,’ joins us to share stories of public servants who not only improved this country but have saved countless lives. Those improvements and breakthroughs could only have happened through the power and effectiveness of a strong government.
“Lewis warns of the long-term consequences of dismantling agencies like USAID and removing oversight mechanisms. The public might not immediately feel these impacts, but the results will eventually be catastrophic, particularly for vulnerable populations worldwide. Lewis explains that DOGE was never about fraud, waste, and abuse. It’s always been about ideology, power, and money.”
