Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan. From its heyday as Motor City to its rebirth as the Brooklyn of the Midwest, Detroit’s history reflects a series of issues that strike at the heart of American identity: race, poverty, policing, loss of industry, the war on drugs, an ...

In a powerful series of segments, Tara peels back the layers of America's most pressing crises—foreign and domestic. She begins with a scathing editorial from the New York Post, detailing how former President Trump’s aggressive tariffs forced China into shocking admissions, including responsibility for the U.S. fentanyl epidemic. Tara highlights the staggering statistic: 250,000 American deaths tied to fentanyl since 2017, and how China used that devastation as a trade bargaining chip. She then pivots to the chaos at home, where she exposes the GOP’s tax plan for what it is—a budget-busting blueprint that could push the national debt to $47 trillion by 2029. With the Federal Reserve quietly buying billions in treasuries and Moody’s downgrading U.S. credit outlooks, Tara warns that America is already behaving like a banana republic.
