Topic: Commonwealth Club

Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer spoke at the Commonwealth Club about his post-government career. Spicer announced the launch of his own podcast, a move the hosts mock as a predictable step for former political figures looking to remain relevant in the media landscape.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addressed the Commonwealth Club, demanding that Pakistan reform its tax system to increase its 9% tax-to-GDP ratio. Clinton argued that the Pakistani elite must contribute more to their own development if they expect continued US aid. This pressure is characterized as "economic hitman" tactics designed to exert control over foreign resources and infrastructure.
