The Majority Report with Sam Seder

Sam and Emma host Michelle Meagher, Senior Policy Fellow at the Centre for Law, Economics and Society at University College London, to discuss her new book Competition is Killing Us: How Big Business is Harming Our Society and Planet - and What To Do About It. Sam, Emma, and Michelle begin their conversation with how Michelle came to have an existential awakening while working in antitrust at a multinational law firm. The interview continues with Meagher laying out the myths of the free market including how multinational corporations operate independently of their shareholders as well as how governments make winners and losers with policy decisions.

And in the Fun Half: Stacey Abrams shares her support for suspending the filibuster for HR1, raising taxes on corporate America for the first time since 1993, Sam's favorite senator Chris Coons explains why he voted against 15 minimum wage, Ron Johnson says he did not fear Jan 6 rioters because they weren't BLM, the compulsion to self-identify, why the Rio Grande Valley is voting conservative, plus your calls and IMs!
