Hosts José Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth dive into the major stories shaping Mexican politics this week. They begin with Mexico’s 2026 budget proposal, examining what Claudia Sheinbaum’s second budget means for banks, Pemex, and social spending. Next, they break down the Sheinbaum administration’s crackdown on “huachicol fiscal”, the fuel smuggling and tax evasion scheme, analyzing the timing of the operation and why ending impunity is essential to protect public resources. They then turn to culture and politics at Saturday’s concert of Residente in Mexico City, where a massive free show in the Zócalo transformed into a powerful moment of solidarity with Palestine, with refugees and the Palestinian ambassador joining the singer on stage. Finally, in their regular segment “Losers and Haters”, they analyze how billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego and TV Azteca are using AI-generated videos to twist the legacy of Benito Juárez into neoliberal propaganda as part of the magnate’s wishful-thinking political ambitions.
