The Majority Report with Sam Seder

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Jamelle Bouie, opinion columnist at the New York Times and co-host of the Unclear and Present Danger podcast, to recap last night's presidential debate and discuss the other big headlines of the day.  First, Sam and Emma run through updates on last night’s presidential debate, the Supreme Court’s attack on the administrative state (and accountability for January 6th), Oklahoma’s educational union of the church and state, Biden’s immigration and student debt plans, Illinois Amazon driver action, and Israel’s pivot to Lebanon, before watching Claire McCaskill encapsulate the panic of the Democratic establishment and pundit class in the wake of Biden’s alarmingly poor performance at the debate. Jamelle Bouie then joins, as he gives his take on various compounding issues that faced Biden – from his vocal performance to his all-around coherence – before they parse through and highlight some examples, including pivoting a Roe v. Wade conversation to a story about an immigrant rape and a ramble that ends with “we beat medicare.” Next, they unpack some initial reactions from the Democratic establishment and mainstream media (including Biden’s media bromance partner Joe Scarborough), the legitimacy of the call for Biden to step aside, and what the pros and cons of a Biden, Harris, or third-candidate nominee would be. Wrapping up, Bouie, Sam, and Emma briefly unpack the Supreme Court’s newest decision attacking the Chevron Deference Doctrine and the administrative state, how it culminates the conservative project started by Reagan, and what it means for US politics moving forward.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma dive a little deeper into their post-debate takes, watch CNN’s debate fact-checker show up an hour late, and unpack some of the more mechanical elements that didn’t go Biden’s way. They also watch Tim Pool deny the 2020 election… predictions he made, Dr. Michael Savage exposes the Jewish conspiracy behind the antisemitism of the Squad, and Saul Seder has his most polarizing appearance yet, plus, your calls and IMs!

It’s an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with freelance writer and author Arthur Goldwag to discuss his recent book The Politics of Fear: The Peculiar Persistence of American Paranoia. Then, she's joined by Manpreet Kaur Kalra, development economics & legal scholar with an emphasis on business and human rights, to discuss her recent piece in In These Times entitled "The Landmark Ruling Against Chiquita Exposes the Failure of Voluntary “Corporate Social Responsibility”, co-authored with Anna Canning. First, Emma responds to the military coup attempt in Bolivia that was beaten back by President Arce, organized labor, and the Bolivian people in the nation's capital, La Paz. Afterwards, Emma speaks with Arthur, and they trace the history of paranoia in American politics, and how that history intersects with the rise in anti-Semitism, conspiracy theories, and hatred on the right today. Arthur traces back the racial, ethnic, and religious animus on the right even further back then contemporary American racism and anti-Semitism, discussing the history of anti-Masonic tropes in American history, which also dovetailed with another great American prejudice: hatred towards Catholics and Catholicism, which dissipated mostly only after the election of John F. Kennedy in 1960. Arthur reckons with a question from an MR IM'er as to whether there is a capacity for this conspiratorial, hate-filled energy to be translated and minimized, potentially into a outlet that isn't characterized by those things, into something more pro-social. He's not convinced. Then, Emma is joined by Manpreet to discuss her reporting on the ruling against Chiquita, the banana company that funded paramilitary groups in Colombia. Manpreet discusses the particulars of the lawsuit, the history of paramilitary groups in Colombia during its pitched, extended Civil War, how companies would gain footholds with those groups, and what this ruling means for corporate governance and its social responsibility.

And in the Fun Half, Emma and the MR Crew are joined by Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton, as they discuss yet another day's worth of expectation setting by Congressional Republicans ahead of tonight's Biden-Trump debate. This time, Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles touts his "No Juicing Joe" legislation in the sake of transparency (i.e. forcing President Biden to admit whether he's taken mind altering stimulants while in office). They then discuss Sen. John Fetterman's pow wow in Israel with Netanyahu, a bipartisan vote to amend an appropriations bill to bar departments from citing the Gaza Health Ministry and Rep. Rashida Tlaib's excoriating speech on the House floor in response, and a crazy story out of West Virginia about a couple now in court for allegedly engaging in human trafficking and what could amount to modern slavery inflicted upon adopted black children. Plus, your calls & IM's!

It’s Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with Ryan Grim, D.C. Bureau Chief at The Intercept and co-host of Counter Points, to discuss Jamaal Bowman's loss in last nights NY-16 Democratic primary, and Julian Assange's plea deal. First, Sam runs through updates on yesterday’s primaries, social media disinformation policy, aid to Gaza, Oklahoma’s separation of church and state, Biden’s pardoning of vets convicted of having gay sex as recently as 2013, Mayor Eric Adams’ questionable trips to China, and Trump-Biden polling, before parsing through some $15mln worth of reasons why George Latimer beat Jamaal Bowman, and the reactions from both candidates coming out of the race. Ryan Grim then joins, first helping to expand on the Latimer-Bowman conversation, the role AIPAC played in the battle (and where they might have gone wrong, despite their ultimate success), and how Bowman and the squad have influenced AIPAC’s fight, also briefly previewing the upcoming battle facing Cori Bush in St. Louis. Next, Grim and Sam look at the recent pardoning of Julien Assange, the absurd conversation still lingering around his whistleblowing, what this development means for freedom of the press, and what to make of Assange’s role in media and politics both looking back and to the future.

And in the Fun Half: Sam previews tomorrow’s presidential debate, including some of the major narratives the Right is pushing heading into it, talks with Malachi from Boston about the Presidential election and harm reduction, and parses through JD Vance’s A+ audition for Trump’s VP pick. Mehdi Hasan eviscerates Dean Phillips over voting to sanction the ICC and RELATIVES of ICC members, Mom’s for Liberty continues the struggle to define “woke” without obvious bigotry, and Anthony from LA asks Sam’s take on racism and reparations in Israel and the US. Oochie Wally calls in from St. Louis, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. But first they speak with Peter Shamshiri, or Law Boy on Twitter, co-host of If Books Could Kill & the 5-4 Podcast, to discuss the recent decisions handed down by the Supreme Court, and what to expect with the decisions still yet to come. Sam and Emma run through updates on Julian Assange’s plea deal, today’s primaries, Israeli military violence, Biden’s Student Loan plan, Louisiana’s education reform, Texas’ abortion ban, Infowars, and the post-IRA US economy, also diving into George Latimer’s appearance on CNN to blame Jamaal Bowman for his wild ethnic insensitivities. Peter Shamshiri then joins, tackling what to expect from the last couple weeks of this SCOTUS term and touching on the ever-(Juris)prudent Alito-Thomas relationship. Next, Peter walks Sam and Emma through the various major decisions that have come out of the Court in recent weeks, first looking to Moore v. US’ narrow address of tax law, what it means for the future of a wealth tax, and what (if any) pathway exists to get around this conservative court’s absurd requirements for the federal government, also looking to US v. Rahimi role in cleaning up the mess the Court set for themselves two years prior with NY State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v. Bruen’s requirement that gun regulations be consistent with the “nation’s historical tradition” of 2A regulations, and why this entire fiasco is a perfect representation of the problems with this SCOTUS’ reactionary tendencies and pseudo-originalism. After briefly assessing a final decision in State Dept. v. Muñoz, and how it may fit into a future attack on marriage equality, Shamshiri, Sam, and Emma wrap up the interview by pondering the future of this Court under a theoretical second Biden term.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch a former head of the Shin Bet unpack the root of Israeli insecurity in their occupation of Gaza, Van Jones compares anti-settlement protesters to pogroms and Keffiyehs to Confederate Flags, and the MR team touches on (totally unrelated) the rise of actual violence against Muslims in the US. John from San Antonio provides some primary previews, Real America’s Voice, CNN, and Fox preview the absurd narratives heading into Thursday’s presidential debate, and Scatt Walsh talks homosexuality. Elijah from Tennessee discusses the pervasion of Nazism in gaming, Neil from San Francisco on Big Tech and the wealthy’s eviction of the working class, and Kowalski gives a long-awaited Ag Report, plus, your calls and IMs!

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with John Ganz, writer of the Unpopular Front newsletter on SubStack, to discuss his recent book When the Clock Broke: Con Men, Conspiracists, and How America Cracked Up in the Early 1990s. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Netanyahu’s rejection of (supposedly) his own peace plan, Israel’s pivot to Lebanon, another State Department resignation over Biden’s Gaza policy, this week’s primaries, Biden’s polling numbers, the Supreme Court’s agenda, flight attendant labor action, and DeSantis’ vetoing of all state arts grants, before parsing through some stories that help explain who George Latimer, primary opponent to Jamaal Bowman, really is. John Ganz then joins, diving right into his metaphor of the broken clock, inspired by the right-wing’s 1990s movement to “break the clock” of social democracy and Francis Fukuyama’s concept of the Neoliberal consensus as the “end of history,” and how it provides a lens into the evolution of the far-right GOP we see today. Ganz then walks through some of the major players in the end of conservatism as we knew it, including the GOP establishment’s rejection (and the voters’ embrace) of KKK Grand Wizard David Duke, the shortcomings of George H. W. Bush’s establishment centrism, and the fore-knowledge of libertarian Pat Buchanan, who would go on to serve as a central rhetorical influence for the presidential campaign of one Donald Trump. Expanding on this, John, Sam, and Emma explore how this era saw the conservative establishment begin to embrace the talk-show culture-war populism of Rush Limbaugh, which, alongside Bill Clinton’s elitism and assimilation to Reagan economics, allowed for the GOP to somehow frame its anti-democratic and anti-working class policies as an anti-elitist anti-establishment agenda. After diving a little deeper into the right wing’s ability (internationally) to frame itself as the ideology for-the-people over the first two decades of the 21st Century, Ganz touches on Biden’s presidency as a continuation of the left wing’s inability to progress its (supposedly progressive) politics, wrapping up the interview with a brief assessment of the future of the US’ two political parties post-Trump and Biden.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Will Cain try to comprehend Patrick Bet-David’s genius value-taintment, executive pill-mill Dr. Ronny Jackson suddenly has a problem with drugged-up presidents, and Donald Trump has something to say about boats and sharks… we just can’t figure out what it is. Corey from South Carolina discusses a GOP fundraising attempt at a Juneteenth celebration, Matt from San Diego explores money in politics, and Louisiana’s Governor attempts to defend LA’s new 10-Commandments commandment for what is perhaps the worst school system in the US, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Casual Friday! Emma and the MR Crew break down the biggest headlines of the day. Then, they're joined by comedian Matt Lieb, co-host of the Bad Hasbara podcast! First, Emma runs through updates on the Supreme Court’s upholding of the right to seize arms from domestic abusers, the continued slowwalking of Trump’s documents case, Armenia’s recognition of Palestinian statehood, Israel’s handing of West Bank authority over to settlers, the charges against Pro-Palestine Columbia protesters, the ADL’s falling legitimacy, Trump-Biden polling, the Saudi role in 9/11, climate change activism, and authoritarian alliances, before tackling the GOP’s odd framing tactic for the first presidential debate. Next, she parses through some recent polling out of Emerson showing Biden behind in every swing state – even where Democrats are dominating the polling in other races – Louisiana’s recent legislation mandating the Ten Commandments be displayed in schools, and Michigan residents’ ongoing fight against the removal of in-person visitation for inmates. After diving into the developing story around Israel’s continued empowerment of violent settler factions in the West Bank, Emma is joined by Matt Lieb as he touches on the definition of “Hasbara” (Israeli propaganda), and his relationship to zionist indoctrination. Lieb walks through the story of his birthright trip, the hypocrisy of Israel’s claim to Jewish safety, and the absurd lengths that Zionists will go to with their Hasbara.

And in the Fun Half: Emma watches Rep. Dean Phillips’ painful response to “do Palestinian lives not matter?”, and explores what people think Israel’s motives are (and what Israel willfully admits it is), before unpacking Dave Rubin’s foray into sports as a part of the “Caitlin Clark is a victim of anti-white racism” bandwagon, plus, your IMs!

It’s an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Joanna Wuest, assistant professor of politics at Mount Holyoke College and author of the book Born This Way: Science, Citizenship, and Inequality in the American LGBTQ+ Movement, to discuss her recent piece in Jacobin entitled "The Best Way to Secure LGBTQ Rights: Unions." Then, she speaks with David Broder, historian and Europe editor at Jacobin, author of Mussolini’s Grandchildren: Fascism in Contemporary Italy, to discuss the recent EU elections, and the upcoming elections in the UK and France. First, Emma runs through updates on stalling ceasefire talks, Israel’s continuing aggression in Gaza and elsewhere, some surprisingly solid SCOTUS decisions, Congressional action, RFK’s floundering candidacy, serious global warming, growing union support in the US, and Louisiana’s Ten Commandments-Commandment for school classrooms, also parsing through the recent UNHRC report on the crimes of war, crimes against humanity, and crimes of extermination, gender and sexual-based violence, and use of starvation and collective punishment. Professor Joanna Wuest then joins, diving right into the inspiring queer advocacy work coming from the new generation of union leaders, before stepping back to tackle the (multi-decades) long standing relationship between labor and queer rights, with unions providing much stronger protections from discrimination and important economic security where the US government failed to do so. After touching on the deep history of the relationship between anti-LGBTQ scapegoating of educators, and where Ron DeSantis’ “Don’t Say Gay” policy stands within that context, Professor Wuest and Emma wrap up with the important role queer folks have played in the major Starbucks unionization push over the last few years. David Broder then walks Emma through what the EU Parliament actually is and does (not much), and contextualizes the broader results of the recent round of elections, before parsing through the more worrying results out of France and Germany, which saw strong gains from the far-right RN (of Marine Le Pen) and AfD. Expanding on the France of it all, Broder tackles French PM Macron’s absurd decision to respond to the right-wing gains by calling a snap national election, what it tells us about liberals’ continued preference of the far-right over the progressive left, and what it could mean for the future of Le Pen’s party, using Italy’s Giorgia Meloni as a parallel to Le Pen’s seeming liberal-appeasing-pivot to more conventional, pro-establishment politics. After discussing the more radical brand of fascism coming out of Germany’s AfD, Emma and Broder wrap up with a brief assessment of the state of the left in Europe, and the ongoing failure of the retreat to the center (as seen in the UK).

And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton as they admire some timely crowd work, watch Tim Pool complaint about Nick Fuentes tainting white nationalism with his anti-Israel views, and listen to Glenn Greenwald and Tucker Carlson pretend to be the first people ever to point out the absurdity of anti-BDS laws. Kerry from New York on Tim Pool, Miguel from Philly on Joe Biden, and the Burgumentum continues! Lilith from Washington on the role of Zionism in a two-state solution, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with Elie Mystal, justice correspondent and columnist at The Nation, to discuss the recent rulings by the Supreme Court and what is still to come. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Israel’s foreknowledge of Hamas’ 10/7 attack, US military aid to Israel, today’s primaries, a new path to citizenship, bump stock legislation, IRS policy, Adobe’s DOJ problem, FEMA, and Philly’s falling murder rates, before parsing a little deeper through the new reports on Israel’s 3-week heads-up on Hamas’ terror attack last October. Elie Mystal then joins, diving right into the diligent delays in SCOTUS’ refusal to take on Trump’s immunity case as a perfect example of the differing approaches to a justice's reign between the conservatives and the liberals, with the former insistent on getting what they want, getting paid, and getting out of there, while the latter gets hung up in symbols and institutionalism. Mystal then looks to the recent Supreme Court decision to strike down the Trump-era ban on bump stocks, parsing through Justice Thomas’ decision to weigh the legality from the perspective of the gun, rather than the shooter, before briefly running through SCOTUS’ recent rejection of a challenge to Mifepristone, and what it can teach us about where this far-right Court is looking next. Wrapping up, Elie, Sam, and Emma unpack the future of the Supreme Court’s attacks on the Chevron Doctrine and the administrative state.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Mehdi Hasan perfectly illustrate the belligerent ignorance of Zionists, Joe Biden takes on the big threat to his presidency (TikTok zoomers), and the MR Crew assesses Biden’s major new immigration plan. Sean from Washington tackles the Supreme Court’s bump stock-ban-ban, Ritchie Torres crowns himself king of the Jews, Hussain from LA explores the incredible work of student protesters at UCLA, and Candace Owens unpacks why World War 2 was a failure for the US, plus, your calls and IMs!

Happy Monday! Sam & Emma speak with Astra Taylor, writer, documentarian, & co-founder of the Debt Collective, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix, co-founder of Way to Win & the philanthropy network Solidaire, to discuss their recent book Solidarity: The Past, Present, and Future of a World-Changing Idea. First, they run through updates on Israel’s genocide in Gaza, skyrocketing executive pay in the US, the electoral impact of Trump’s conviction, the GOP’s $895B culture war defense bill, Maryland’s marijuana pardons, AIPAC’s $20 Million investment in George Latimer, the threat to public health that is Social Media, and Alex Jones’ legal woes, before parsing through Donald Trump’s continued insistence that he is the most mentally fit President of all time (certified by the guy that ran his presidential pill mill). Astra Taylor and Leah Hunt-Hendrix then join, diving right into the idea of “solidarity” as a material concept of social cohesion, with roots in the holding of a common debt between Roman farmers, and as a central tenant in the development of France’s welfare state during the Industrial Revolution. Expanding on this, Taylor and Hunt-Hendrix unpack the role self-interest plays alongside solidarity, painting a distinction between the strict divisions of reactionary solidarities (e.g. White Supremacy, ruling class) and the malleable identity of transformational solidarity as they demonstrated the failure of “zero-sum” thinking, and how transformational solidarity extends the benefits of social progress to all. Next, Astra, Leah, Sam, and Emma have an extensive conversation on the “Scam” of philanthropy, from how it promotes movement capture by major capitalist donors to it’s effective purpose as a tax haven for the wealthy, before they wrap up the interview with the role of the state in undermining the ability to foster solidarity, and how its power can just as well be used to promote it.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch George Latimer do the classic liberal tap-dance around his unconditional support for Israel’s genocide, parse through Israel’s crystal-clear messaging on their goal of collective punishment, and talk with Jose from LA about the problems of Market Socialism. Michael Knowles and Colorado State Rep. Holtorf perfectly demonstrate the right’s enthusiasm for subjugating women, and a former WH Communications Director takes on the ELITIST concern that just because Trump tried to overturn one election, he might do it again, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Casual Friday! And Sam is opening up the phone lines! Call in at 646-257-3920 as Sam and the MR Crew discuss the stories of the day and react to clips! First, he runs through updates on the Supreme Court’s killing of Congress’ bump stock ban and undercutting of the NLRB, stalling ceasefire negotiations, the Right’s attack on IVF, Clarence Thomas’ corruption, unemployment, unionization, Trump’s anti-Chinese vaccine program, and Gov. Hochul’s mask ban, before watching Rashida Tlaib eviscerate the inaction on SCOTUS corruption. Next, Joe from Cincinnati unpacks the failing messaging around Palestinian humanity, Carey from Niagara Falls reconciles his appreciation for public health, conservatism, and the Majority Report, and Sam addresses the conspiracy within the conspiracy of “Birds Aren’t Real”. Katherine from Atlanta unpacks the infringement on the corporate right to pollute, and the MR Team unpacks media coverage of Biden’s mental mishaps.

And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks the American duopoly, Edie from Jersey discusses the independent vote, and Mike from Long Island. Donald Trump goes off script and accidentally “shit holes” Wisconsin, Tim Pool struggles with the “Hoe Math” calculations that will help him escape bachelorism, and “RFK” calls in to celebrate his ballot access. Alfred from Atlanta on the National Popular Vote Compact, Dave Rubin unpacks his federal crimes, and a fellow Nation Cruiser calls in about the Fetterman fallout. Billie from Boston gives the Chevron Doctrine a premortem, Michael from Miami tackles Trump’s VP options, and the MR Crew on the lies of accelerationism, plus, your calls and IMs!

It’s an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Greg Stoker, co-host of the Colonial Outcasts podcast, to discuss the recent military operations by Israeli forces in Gaza. Then, she speaks with Hayden Clarkin, also known as the Transit Guy on Twitter, to discuss New York Governor Kathy Hochul's recent decision to delay congestion pricing. First, Emma runs through updates on reproductive care in the US, ceasefire negotiations, Israel’s continued siege on Gaza, Biden’s asylum ban, Ukraine-US relations, Oklahoma’s Supreme Court decision on reparations for the Tulsa Race Riots, Elon’s harassment allegations, and the crackdown of Argentina’s police state, also diving deeper into the Supreme Court’s recent dismissal of a challenge to Mifepristone, and when the other shoe will drop. Greg Stoker then joins, diving right into his military background, the major influence that working with “kinetic” Drone strikes under Obama (alongside the following decade of growth) had in awakening him to the indiscriminate violence of US imperialism. Shifting focus, Stoker looks to Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Gaza, which has made the US military look nearly discriminate by contrast, walking through how Israel has eviscerated every central piece of infrastructure of Gaza society, and demonstrated a divide in the tactics of Western Imperialism and outright genocide. Expanding on this, Greg and Emma tackle the narrative around ongoing ceasefire negotiations, assessing why this conflict has largely been a success for Hamas and a failure for Israel, with no real end in sight for the occupier, also touching on Israel’s increasingly irrational violence towards other regional actors like Iran. Wrapping up the interview, Stoker touches on the US’ dwindling soft power, what that means in the context of their supposed foreign policy pivot to Asia, and what THAT means in the context of US support for Israel’s genocide. Hayden Clarkin then slowly walks Emma through the background for NY Gov. Hochul’s astounding recent decision to kill New York’s congestion pricing plan for Manhattan, with the policy already a long time coming at the time of NYC’s 2017 MTA state of emergency, when it was first put forward as a solution to issues of traffic and transit maintenance and upgrades, with its 2023 approval immediately seeing the launching of a thousand lawsuits from NY’s Jersey neighbors over its supposed cost, and ultimately leading to Hochul’s move. Expanding on this, Transit Guy assesses who this pricing plan would *actually* impact (some 1.5% of commuters into Manhattan), the myriad exemptions ironed in, and the wide array of transit-infrastructure-related projects it would fun, also touching on the statistics behind Manhattan’s ongoing traffic crisis. Wrapping up, Clarkin discusses the new lawsuit from NYC Comptroller Brad Lander over this killing of myriad major MTA projects, and the unsurprising financial influences behind this fiasco.

And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton as they listen to George Latimer struggle not to prove the point of a caller accusing him of “tokenizing” and “marginalizing” Black constituents who critique him, and unpack some car-spiracies. Robert in Manhattan on terror and the state, and Daniel in LA on housing policy. Sinclair Broadcasting pushes the “Biden mental health deteriorates” story en-masse, which Kevin McCarthy happily joins in on, and Donald Trump embraces the son he never had, Logan Paul. Annie from Washington discusses her ongoing campaign for Washington’s state house seat in District 38, plus, your calls and IMs!

It’s Hump Day! Sam speaks with Judd Legum, proprietor of the Popular Information newsletter on SubStack, to discuss his recent piece entitled “Feds raid corporate landlord, escalating nationwide criminal probe of rent increases.” Then, he speaks with Usamah Andrabi, communications director & spokesperson for Justice Democrats, to discuss Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s upcoming primary in New York and AIPAC’s spending efforts against the Squad. First, Sam runs through updates on the UN’s ceasefire proposal, continuing carnage in Gaza, GOP primary results, the conviction of Hunter Biden, slowing inflation rates, the US' disregard for Leahy law, more Alito-family leaks, North Carolina’s mask ban, the permeation of microplastics, and Chiquita’s liability for paramilitary action in Columbia, before watching the GOP attempt to spin the Hunter Biden conviction as yet ANOTHER attack on Donald Trump. Judd Legum then joins, diving right into the story, originally broken by ProPublica a few years ago, of RealPage’s rent-pricing algorithm for landlords, and how the prevalent usage of RealPage in housing markets allows corporate landlords to eschew direct conspiracy yet reap all the benefits of collusion, from raised and fixed rents to artificial market constraints. After unpacking some of the finer elements of RealPage’s “property management” software, Legum looks to the development of multiple major lawsuits against RealPage, including class-action suits in Atlanta and DC, unpacks the evidence that has come through discovery, and tackles the FBI’s recent raid of a corporate landlord’s offices in a major development to a criminal anti-trust case against RealPage, before wrapping up with a brief assessment of landlord liability in a federal criminal case. Usamah Andrabi then joins, jumping right into the incredibly Manchin-esque campaign of conservative “Democrat” George Latimer, and how his AIPAC-funded run to unseat Jamaal Bowman has gone well beyond just unconditional support for Israel, with AIPAC’s pro-Trump funders pushing a full rejection of Bowman’s progressivism. After expanding on the astoundingly bigoted and anti-democratic campaign being run by Latimer, Andrabi and Sam tackle the need for Democrats to step up for their colleagues in the face of overwhelming amounts of right-wing money, and what to make of the recent Emerson poll showing a major gap between the two candidates, before touching on what those of us outside of New York can do to help.

And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks the sustained anti-PC delirium in comedy, aided by Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ recent response to Seinfeld’s anti-woke ramblings, Brian from LA tackles the Daily Wire’s new animated show and the arrested development of right-wing humor, and Maryellen from Newark explores the sale of West Bank properties in the US. Sam also unpacks dropping inflation rates with little-to-no impact on the continuing housing crisis, Kett from Portland gives some timely Latimer gossip, the Alito-family leaks keep coming, and Morning Joe has a guest on to ponder the validity of civilian deaths in Gaza, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, Sam and Emma discuss the recent candidate forum between Rep. Jamaal Bowman & Westchester County Executive George Latimer, where Latimer made the claim that Rep. Bowman's constituencies were in Dearborn, Michigan and San Francisco, as opposed to the Bronx and Westchester. Then, they discuss the recent ceasefire resolution that passed through the United Nations (UN), and the strange, convoluted game of telephone that high ranking Biden administration officials like Secretary Blinken are playing when it comes to Hamas accepting a ceasefire deal (reports are that they've "said" they amenable to it) and Israel accepting a ceasefire deal (Netanyahu has not "said" that he's amenable to it; Blinken says it's the position of the Israeli government. They then react to some of the crime data coming from an FBI report, showing plummeting rates of violent crime, before getting into the bombshell undercover reporting by extraordinaire Lauren Windsor, who went undercover at a Supreme Court Historical Society event, speaking with Chief Justice Roberts (relatively normal), Justice Alito (more unhinged), and Justice Alito's, wife Martha Ann (the most insane conversation you'll ever hear).

And in the Fun Half, the MR Crew discuss JD Vance's coyness around his position in the Trump veepstakes, despite being asked for documents and...whether he's committed any crimes or things of that nature (and that would be disqualifying, somehow)? They then react to Georgia congressional primary candidate and Jan-6th related convict Chuck Hand being asked a simple question about agricultural policy at a debate before introducing himself, completely ignoring the question, and walking off the stage. They then check in on Tim Pool waging the war on Christmas in...June, Steven Crowder and Nigel Farage having an idiot contest, and the...interesting mentions under a tweet from the account "AFPost" regarding polling showing less U.S. Jewish voters supporting Trump in 2024 as opposed to 2020. The "AF" standing for...America First can probably give you a good idea of the tenor of the replies to this tweet. (Hint: they're insanely anti-Semitic). Plus, your calls & IM's!

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Matt Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, to discuss the recent events from the weekend in Israel, Palestine, & foreign policy. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Macron’s call for snap elections in France, Israel’s mass slaughter of Palestinians in the freeing of four hostages, UC’s academic worker strike, Biden’s newest Executive Order on immigration, Trump-Biden polling, social media, and Bob Menendez legal troubles, before diving into Marjorie Taylor Greene’s parallel between two people definitely criminally convicted by federal governments, Donald Trump and Jesus Christ. Matt Duss then joins, diving right into Biden’s recent decision to overshadow Trump’s conviction with an announcement of supposed ongoing ceasefire negotiations of Israel’s design, and how these talks inevitably fell into the same pattern of Netanyahu taking drastic action to prove bad faith to push Palestinian actors to kill the deal, unpacking why Biden is so scared of actually holding Israel to account, and touching on the major impact the continuation of this conflict is having on the already-precarious standing of US legitimacy in the Middle East. Returning to the ceasefire document, Duss walks through the important step toward peace this proposal represents, with contents that would actually require Biden (and others) to confront the Israeli government’s illegal occupation and the future of Palestinian statehood, before shifting to a brief conversation on domestic politics in Israel, from public opinion on the war to the power of Netanyahu’s far-right coalition, and touch on the recent Nuseirat Massacre and its further undermining of the humanitarian effort in Gaza. After reflecting on the Biden Administration’s failures with the Iran Nuclear Deal, Matt, Sam, and Emma wrap up with a brief assessment of the rising threat of fascism in Europe, and the slight containment of fascism in India.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma dive into the (minimal) coverage of Israel’s internment camp and the horrors faced by Palestinian detainees, Sean from Spain explores various organizing efforts, and Kenny from Berkeley expands on the UC school system’s attempt to use California’s conservative courts to break the backs of its academic workers. Seb Gorka and guest discuss how very relatable they (and Donald Trump) are to the working class and Don from New Jersey on escalating dissent against US support for genocide in Gaza. Donald Trump goes teleprompter-free and hits his audience with some raw truths, like “I don’t pay contractors,” Steve Bannon discusses the political lawfare being exercised against him, and Kristi Noem gets protective against Dana Bash, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Heather Digby Parton, contributing writer at Salon.com and proprietor of the blog Hullabaloo, to round up the week in news. First, they run through updates on the US Economy, the anniversary of D-Day, Clarence Thomas’ corruption, Bannon’s prison order, Bibi’s Congressional address, ceasefire negotiations in Gaza, the NAACP’s call to halt weapons sales to Israel, Alex Jones’ legal debts, the polling bump from Trump’s conviction, the fallout from Biden’s asylum policy, and South Korean labor action at Samsung, before diving deeper into the developing stories of SCOTUS corruption, and the obvious holes in Alito’s flag-waving excuse as he still refuses to be recused from any election-related case. Digby then joins, as she, Sam, and Emma dive right into the obvious negative impact Trump’s conviction had on his campaign (no matter what racist rhetoric has been spewed to the contrary), and where voters lie with Election Day just five months away. Expanding on this, they unpack the Democrats’ unwillingness to take this conviction head-on, once again falling for the weakest of conservative aggrievements, and avoiding labeling Trump as the felon that he is, before wrapping up with some additional discussion of Trump’s 2024 campaign and the horrendous politicking of the Democratic Party.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma discuss noted felon Dinesh D’Souza’s unpatriotic comparison between America’s framers and other-noted-felon Donald Trump, expand on Trump’s clear links to Israeli apartheid (and a major funder’s wishes for the West Bank), and watch Trump show off his religious bona fides. Joe Rogan contemplates how far the establishment will go to stop Donald Trump in a segment riddled with truly diverse displays of bigotry, Dave Rubin calls out Rogan for refusing to come out as a Trump conservative, and Steve Bannon’s goin’ to jail! Byron Donalds tiptoes around his interracial marriage as he defends his comments on Jim Crow’s promotion of Black families, plus, your calls and IMs!

It’s an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with Alexander Avina, professor of Mexican & Latin American History at Arizona State University, to discuss the recent results in Mexico's elections. Then, she speaks with Dr. Dan Wilson, from the YouTube channel Debunk The Funk, to discuss his recent video on Bret Weinstein and the recent Congressional committee hearings featuring Dr. Fauci. First, Emma runs through updates on Israel’s attack on a school shelter in Gaza, Israel’s obstruction to a ceasefire, Netanyahu’s turn to Hezbollah, Biden’s polling bump, Fani Willis’ major mishaps, Mondaire Jones’ conservative turn, abuse in Wisconsin prisons, NYC’s congestion pricing plan, and climate change, also parsing through Byron Donald’s attempt to “contextualize” his claim that Black families were stronger under Jim Crow. Professor Alex Aviña then joins, diving right into México’s overwhelming election of Claudia Sheinbaum as the continent’s first Jewish or female President, and an important stamp of approval as she heads into office hoping to cement President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s (AMLO) 20-point progressive platform, an agenda that will need all of the Morena coalition’s Lower House supermajority and Senate near-supermajority. Professor Aviña then steps back, walking Emma through the major reforms AMLO achieved during his 6-year term, including major judicial, economic, and labor changes materially (and visually) improving the lives of a vast majority of working-class Mexicans, before tackling some of the major leftist critiques of his Administration, including its “reformist” take on neoliberalism, continued support for the war on drugs, militant border maintenance for the US, and a non-transparent infrastructure project on the Yucatan peninsula. Aviña also expands on the central role ALMO’s ability to be a strong negotiator in US-Mexico relations played in his success, before wrapping up with the major role Sheinbaum’s Administration can play in cementing the progress (and righting some wrongs) of Mexico’s major progress over the last 6 years. Dr. Dan Wilson then jumps right into some of the major problems with public discourse around vaccines, such as their majorly misunderstood purpose and risks, and how the poor public health communication and severe misinformation during COVID severely inflamed these issues. Dr. Wilson then walks Emma through some of the major players in the anti-vax crusade of the last few decades, including third-party presidential candidate and HIV-AIDS denier RFK, before wrapping up with a conversation on long-COVID and vaccinations.

And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton as they talk with an anonymous caller about the importance of DACA recipients applying for legal entry before a potential Trump Administration 2.0, and Jack from Ireland dives into Derry’s colonial divide. They also discuss the recent photos from the assault of a journalist by Israeli extremists in East Jerusalem, parse through Gov. Hochul’s disastrous decision to kill NYC’s congestion pricing program (with help from Adam from New Brunswick), and laugh with (and at) some comedians, plus your calls and IMs!

It’s Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with Meron Rapoport, editor of Local Call and writer at +972 Magazine, to discuss his recent piece entitled "Surveillance and interference: Israel’s covert war on the ICC exposed", co-authored with Yuval Abraham. First, Sam runs through updates on Biden’s blatantly illegal new asylum policy, the New York Times report on Israel’s disinformation campaign against elected US officials, US primary elections, Indian elections, charges in Wisconsin’s fake electors scheme, Chuck Schumer’s Senate, Starbucks and Amazon union action, and Eric Adams’ Cop City, before diving deep into Biden’s new Trumpian asylum policy. Meron Rapoport then joins, as he walks Sam through the release of +972 and the Guardian’s recent investigation on Israel’s decade-long project of blackmail and surveillance against ICC officials, and the revelations around what Israel has done to keep the story under wraps. After expanding on the particular role that Yossi Cohen’s Mossad played in initiating the project against then-ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, Rapoport steps back to assess the widespread nature of Israel’s surveillance of ICC officials, why fear of criminal proceedings pushed Netanyahu to issue this authorization, and how they attempted to use the information to undermine the credibility of the ICC’s sources. After expanding on the internal awareness of the criminal nature of Israel’s genocide, Meron, Sam, and Emma wrap up by assessing whether the international backlash to Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Gaza has had any major impact on the Israeli public’s awareness.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma parse through the absurd mentality that led to Biden’s new illegal (and inhumane) asylum policy, Gayle King’s recent interview with a Jewish US Army Major who resigned in protest of the US’ role in Israel’s genocide, and talk with Dennis from Tennessee about the status of weed legalization. Dave Rubin calls out the anti-White US justice system that charged Donald Trump, before being corrected by Megyn Kelly of all people, Charlotte from DC unpacks the counter-arguments to anti-migrant talking points, and Christ from Pennsylvania shares some of the absurdity coming from America’s fringe authoritarian youth. The MR Team also unpacks the insanely bigoted discourse around Caitlin Clark’s rookie campaign (as presented by Clay Travis), plus, your calls and IMs!

But first, Sam and Emma speak with David Dayen, executive editor at The American Prospect, to discuss some of his recent writing and reporting on pricing. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Israel sinking any ceasefire negotiations, Indian elections, the Epoch Times’ money laundering operation, ProPublica report on Trump’s “bonuses” sent to potential witnesses, Biden’s new outrageous (and illegal) asylum policy, the anti-progressive and inept NY State Democratic Party, primaries, wage inequality, and landlord price fixing, also diving into the outrageous attacks on Jamaal Bowman from New York’s AIPAC “Democrats.” David Dayen then joins, diving right into The American Prospect’s ongoing project on the reality of pricing in the US, with recent reports (and a lawsuit) exposing the major role of price fixing in the US economy, exploring how the consolidation of market power, technological (and more-specifically algorithmic) developments, and the various economic and social crisis of COVID-19 have allowed corporations to develop myriad ways to use individual variables (from habits to current phone life) to maximize their revenue in individual sales. After briefly touching on the existing federal statutes around price discrimination, and the major role algorithms and technological evolution play in obfuscating the decision-making process around pricing, Dayen parses through the ongoing fight within the Biden Administration over this issue of financial discrimination, including the advancement of various lawsuits. Wrapping up, David tackles why any potential legislative or administrative developments remain in a precarious position with a possible Trump Administration 2.0, and Sam and Emma look to the GOP’s ongoing attempt to reshape the narrative around Trump’s conviction.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Anthony Fauci completely pull the football out from under countless attempted “gotchas” from the GOP, Ian from Florida talks coffee and voting, and Clint from Washington dives into inter-generational politics. Dave Rubin attempts to convince Russell Brand that he’s one of those bad-ass anti-vaxxers and himself that he’s not afraid of Sam, Ronald Raygun has an idea to bring a little more “party” to the forefront of Majority Report’s “all-business” style, and Donald Trump muses about climate change, nuclear proliferation, and how he’ll top Biden’s border fascism. Tim Pool continues to struggle with his fascist guests who keep endorsing violence, plus, your calls and IMs!

Happy Monday! Sam & Emma speak with author and historian William Hogeland, proprietor of the “Hogeland’s Bad History” newsletter on SubStack, to discuss his recent book The Hamilton Scheme: An Epic Tale of Money and Power in the American Founding. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on México’s election of Claudia Sheinbaum, Israel’s rejection of what was supposedly their own peace proposal as they blast through Biden’s Rafah red line, Hunter Biden’s legal woes, Bibi’s joint congressional address, reactions to Trump’s conviction, Fauci’s testimony, the Affordable Connectivity Program, climate change, the IRS’ free tax-filing service, and Dinesh D’Souza’s publisher issues an apology for publishing Dinesh D’Souza, before diving into Biden’s absurd claim that Israel was the one pushing the ongoing peace negotiations with Hamas, and how Israel’s offensive is likely to continue as Biden’s “red lines” shift ever backward. William Hogeland then joins, first reflecting on the introduction of Alexander Hamilton into popular culture with the recent musical phenomena, and how that provides the opportunity to present a more three-dimensional view of Hamilton’s political philosophy and impact. Now, Hogeland steps back to the inception of the US, and the central role Hamilton played in establishing a financial system that centered on the use of national debt to leverage the economic ambitions of the capitalist class in favor of a nationalist project by allowing them massive ownership stakes, while additionally reinforcing the elitist and anti-democratic makeup of the political class that Hamilton desired. After expanding on Hamilton’s relationship to the US Constitution, including unpacking the relatively subdued role that the Federalist Papers played in the actual ratification, Hogeland walks Sam and Emma through the backlashed faced by the US Federal government due to Hamilton’s wildly anti-democratic financial scheme, looking to both Shays’ Rebellion in 1786 and the Whiskey Rebellion in 1791 as clear cut examples of a coherent dissent and attack on Hamilton’s system of debt and regressive taxation, demanding follow through on the demand of “no taxation without representation” that Americans had fought for, also briefly touching on the greater makeup of this pro-democracy labor movement led by folks with Herman Husband and Thomas Payne. Next, Hogeland looks back to the enemies Hamilton had inside of the US political structures, from State Sovereigntists during the framing of the Constitution, to the Jeffersonian attempts to undermine and overturn his financial system throughout the start of the 19th Century, before wrapping up with the redemption of Hamilton’s legacy over the last few decades, and the particular role his thought played in the US’ response to the 2008 Financial crisis.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch an American nurse reflect on the harrowing experience of treating burn victims in Rafah, and discuss the myriad resignations-in-protests by Biden State Department officials, with the most recent accusing the agency of actively lying about Israel’s role in blocking aid to Gaza. They also dive into the incredible aftermath of the conviction of Donald Trump, with everyone from the Donald on Fox & Friends, Maria Bartiromo, Benny Johnson, and Megyn Kelly pondering the backlash from a potential GOP regime. Lauren Boebert addresses her Beetlejuicing controversy, plus, your calls and IMs!
