2375 - Tulsi Gabbard’s Sketchy Past; GOP’s Anti-Trans Bathroom Panic w/ Mike Prysner, Erin Reed 11/21/2024

2375 - Tulsi Gabbard’s Sketchy Past; GOP’s Anti-Trans Bathroom Panic w/ Mike Prysner, Erin Reed It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with of the to discuss Tulsi Gabbard's nomination to be U.S. Director of National Intelligence. Then, she speaks with journalist , author of the newsletter on SubStack, to discuss Rep. Nancy Mace's recent decision to introduce legislation to bar Rep. Sarah McBride, the only trans legislator in the upcoming Congress, from using the Capitol Hill bathrooms. First, Emma runs through updates on the ICC’s issuing of arrest warrants for the leaders behind Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, Israel’s new one-sided ceasefire pitch for Lebanon, the failure of Bernie’s Israel resolution in the Senate, the passage of the anti-non-profit bill in the House, US military aid to Ukraine, the Gaetz ethics report, Pete Hegseth’s history of sexual assault allegations, and Linda McMahon’s history of hiring people with sexual assault allegations, before watching a little more from the UN as they finally begin to hold Israel to account for their ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Mike Prysner then joins, diving right into Trump’s pick of one Tulsi Gabbard for his Director of National Intelligence, and the oddly underwhelming critique of her in the face of myriad problematic potential appointments, tackling how most of the mainstream criticisms of her focus on her odd foreign policy beliefs (support for dictators, Edward Snowden), leaving her deep ties to a deeply ideological religious organization untouched. Expanding on this latter element, Prysner parses through the history and evolution of the Science of Identity Foundation, a religious organization (or ‘cult’ to some ex-members) founded by former Hare Krishna member Chris Butler, who – claiming to be THE messenger from God – established and grew this community around himself, with explicit, long-term plans to establish and grow their role in American politics, first taking root in Hawaii with the rise of Gabbard’s parents, before she, having been groomed for the role from a young age, became the first elected to Congress. Going even deeper, Mike walks Emma through the central ideological beliefs of the organization, and how they fundamentally shape their education around islamophobia and homophobia, with a near-constant exposure to rampantly and explicitly anti-muslim and anti-LGBTQ sermons from Butler himself, ingraining these beliefs in children, before they step back to examine the community’s history of intimidation and harassment of ex-members and critics. Wrapping up, Prysner unpacks Tulsi’s role as a political chameleon, from her odd foreign policy takes to her Bernie-to-leaving-the-left pipeline, as a reflection of the organization's deep desire to climb the rungs of power – something expressed during her time in the military as well – and paints a picture of the role the Gabbard family play within the Science of Identity Foundation as a whole. And in the Fun Half, Emma, Matt Binder, Brandon Sutton, and the MR Crew react to the breaking news that former Rep. Matt Gaetz withdrew his nomination to be Trump's incoming Attorney General, and how some new exclusive CNN reporting on his conduct may have contributed to his withdrawal. The crew also strolls down memory lane to remember when Gaetz defended his relationship with his (completely real) adopted son, Nestor. They then look into the grisly allegations outlined in a 2017 police report regarding sexual assault investigation into Trump's Defense Secretary pick, Pete Hegseth. After, they check in on Emma's spicy appearance on "Piers Morgan Uncensored", where Emma made Piers visibly uncomfortable because a woman wouldn't listen to him telling her to be quiet.

2373 - News Day Tuesday! Letter Carriers Fight For Fair Pay w/ Tyler Vasseur 11/19/2024

2373 - News Day Tuesday! Letter Carriers Fight For Fair Pay w/ Tyler Vasseur It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with Tyler Vasseur, shop steward with the Branch 9, to discuss the tentative agreement being negotiated between the NALC and the United States Postal Service (USPS). First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Ukraine’s use of US-made missiles in Russia, the Gaetz report, Trump’s cabinet of predators, the DNC, House and Senate politics, US arms to Israel, genocide in Gaza, Musk/Bezos v. NLRB, and the Stop Terror Financing Bill, before watching Senator George Helmy’s emotional plea to the UN. Tyler Vasseur then joins, first outlining the breadth of the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) representation, before walking through the evolution of their ongoing fight for a fair contract, beginning with the expiration of their previous contract on May 20th, 2023 – touching on the major shortcomings of this contract’s Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA), particularly in the wake of the COVID pandemic and rampant inflation – and through over five hundred days of closed-door negotiations with Union Leadership, only for said leadership to announcement a new contract with a wage increase of a meager 1.3%. After diving deeper into the numbers behind this raise, Vasseur parses through the reaction of NALC members to this supposed “victory,” particularly as an anti-union Trump presidency threatens future victories, and how the rank-and-file is organizing to keep the fight for a fair contract going. He, Sam, and Emma also touch on the distinct fight NALC faces working with USPS, and the major problem of making workers, not management, responsible for keeping profits in line, before wrapping up the show by tackling what we can do to help this labor effort from the outside. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma look at the meaningful personal growth shown by folks like Markwayne Mullin and Joe Scarborough over the past year, going from openly denouncing fascists like Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump, respectively, to happily celebrating the future of their relationship to said fascists, before diving deep into the ongoing DNC implosion and what the future of the Party is likely to entail. They also give some updates on Rudy Giuliani’s legal woes, talk with Joshua from CT about RFK’s insane MAHA agenda and with A-Squared about progressive turnout, and tackle the importance of labeling fascists “fascist,” and Nazis “nazi,” plus, your calls and IMs!

2372 - What Will Education Look Like Under Trump? w/ Josh Cowen 11/18/2024

2372 - What Will Education Look Like Under Trump? w/ Josh Cowen Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with , professor of education policy at Michigan State University, to discuss his recent book First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Trump’s agenda of military-backed mass deportations, the Gaetz report, Trump’s cabinet confirmations, the GOP’s bill to kill nonprofits, labor action among Michigan nurses, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, starvation and genocide in Gaza, and Rudy Giuliani’s financial woes, also watching Morning Joe and Mika Brzezinski fast-track their capitulation to the Trump regime. Professor Josh Cowen then joins, diving right into the concept of school choice and the purpose of the voucher system, outlining how vouchers seek to make public dollars for education available for private tuition, supposedly to allow parents their choice of educational pathway for their child, before tackling exactly why this system fails to meet that goal, with private schools’ vastly increased ability to discriminate against students (via admissions or otherwise) meaning it becomes more “school’s choice” than “parent’s choice,” while the flood of money into private education markets under voucher systems, alongside the lack of transparency required for these private institutions, spurs the development of “subprime” providers who take this money in return for a significantly worse education that our public schools. Expanding on this, Josh walks Sam through the evolution of this parental rights’/school choice movement, beginning with the perfect storm of Milton Freedman’s desire to completely undermine the public school system in the US and the anti-segregationist backlash to Brown v. the Board of Education, and continuing through the growing prevalence of Christian Nationalist attacks on public education that we see today, exploring how reactionary forces bolster the drive to kill public education. After touching on the major financial impact the voucher program has had on public education, with a negative impact on its return end, Cowen wraps up by looking to the future of government-run-and-funded education under a Trump presidency, including the likelihood that he will actually dismantle the Department of Education, and why, despite the GOP’s electoral success, the voucher agenda has seen overwhelming backlash from voters. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma unpack Trump’s potential attack on social security before diving deep into RFK’s ongoing acquiescence to the Trump regime to the point of… publicly ingesting seed oils?!?! They also touch on the developing capitulation of the Senate to let Trump bypass them with his cabinet appointments and parse through the direct relationship between news consumption and support for Harris as they unpack the utter messaging and campaign failures by the Democratic Party, with a highlight on the misleading interests of the consultant class on the Biden/Harris campaign agendas. They also watch Rep. Jayapal nail the election post-mortem, and have some fun reflecting on the evolution of one Jackson Hinkle with a caller, plus, your calls and IMs!

2371 - Elite Hubris, Harris' Loss, & Lessons For The Future w/ Astead Herndon 11/15/2024

2371 - Elite Hubris, Harris' Loss, & Lessons For The Future w/ Astead Herndon It's Casual Friday! Sam speaks with , national politics reporter at the and host of "The Run-Up" , to break down a crazy first week post-election. First, Sam runs through updates on the developing picture of Trump’s cabinet, the Stop Terror Financing Act, and CFPB and NLRB action, also touching on establishment responses to RFK’s nomination as HHS secretary and his dangerous take on vaccines. Astead Herndon then joins, diving right into the prevalent narrative of two deeply unpopular nominees that dominated the 2024 US presidential election, and why, in refusing to acknowledge their sides’ unpopularity (specifically when it came to the Biden Administration), Democrats and Harris completely failed to address the question of change in the eyes of the voters. Expanding on this, Herndon walks through the evolution of this overwhelming backlash to the Biden Administration, in particular, with his shocking decision to run for reelection in the wake of the 2022 midterms, committing the party to a vision of status-quo that voters had (visibly) been growing less and less content with, and gutting any opportunity – via primary or otherwise – to present or shape a new vision for what Democrats, and the Democratic nominee, were fighting for. After diving a little deeper into his research on the undecided, swing state voters that decided this election and making clear the obvious paths Democrats had to win them over, Astead and Sam explore another level of failed messaging on the part of the Democratic party, with rhetoric seeking to separate Trump from his GOP colleagues alongside ceding ground on the issues of crime and immigration allowed Trump to untether himself from the critiques of the former while claiming victory over the latter. Wrapping up, they tackle the particular arrogance that pushed the Democratic Party to ignore the myriad, obvious signs that a Biden-associated candidacy would be a non-starter for voters, and why they need to go back to the table and work on actually addressing voters’ concerns. And in the Fun Half: Sam dives a little deeper into some potential impacts of an RFK-led world of public health, watches Donald Trump grapple with the other-worldly annoyance that is Elon Musk, and listens to GOP Senators explain why Matt Gaetz just deserves a chance. Vivek Ramaswamy – unelected bureaucrat – rails against unelected bureaucrats, Mike Huckabee waxes about his commitment to Israel, and the MR Team discusses an already-beginning inversion of US public opinion by party. Sam has a message for the aliens, Leftist Big Pharma Plug gives some insights into insider feelings about a potential Trump/RFK-led world of public health, and Eric Weinstein has – get this – a batsh*t conspiracy, plus, your calls and IMs!

2370 - Gaetz Picked For AG; Climate Activism & Foreign Policy Under Trump w/ Jean Su, Sina Toossi 11/14/2024

2370 - Gaetz Picked For AG; Climate Activism & Foreign Policy Under Trump w/ Jean Su, Sina Toossi It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with , Energy Justice Director for the , to discuss her recent piece in the New Republic entitled Then, she speaks with , senior fellow at the , to discuss Trump's cabinet appointments when it comes to foreign policy. First, Emma runs through updates on Trump’s pick of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General just before the release of his ethics report, the GOP’s Senate leadership fight, Mike Johnson’s plea to Trump, a Pennsylvania election recount for the Senate race, Elon’s grating personality, Biden’s gift to Trump, Russia’s escalation in the wake of the reelection of Donald Trump, the prosecution of Marine Le Pen, the NLRB, malpractice in the investigation of the death of Nex Benedict, New York’s congestion pricing, and the sale of Alex Jones’ InfoWars to the Onion, also briefly reflecting on the future of the Matt Gaetz nomination. Jean Su then joins, jumping right into the unfortunate timing of Trump’s reelection as the ever-insufficient COP29 environmental conference is held in fossil-fuel haven Azerbaijan, as she and Emma unpack the extreme limitations (largely pushed by the US) of the Paris Agreement, and why Trump’s plan to withdraw from the agreement might, in fact, open up an opportunity for the international community to explore greater economic, environmental, and energy alternatives on the global scale. After expanding on the myriad insufficiencies and clear western-centricity in the existing Paris Agreement, and the importance of giving countries in the global south – where the impact of the climate catastrophe is greatest – a greater role at the table, Su explores how the battle over climate change is shifting drastically from one between rich and poor nations to one between rich and poor people. Wrapping up, Julie and Emma tackle the lackluster progression to the climate transition in the US under the Biden Administration, and why pushing against capitalism is central to this fight moving forward. Next, Sina Toossi and Emma look to the developing picture of Trump’s cabinet in his upcoming administration, as neocons like Marco Rubio, Mike Waltz, and Pete Hegseth are named to the supposedly-anti-war candidate’s office, before touching on the major role that radical Christian Zionists seem to play as well. After expanding on what a Christian Zionist administration would mean for the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine, Sina and Emma wrap up with the balance a Trump presidency would see between accelerating the development of a multipolar world order and wreaking mass chaos, disruption, and death, with a particular focus on Iran and the Middle East when it comes to that latter point. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they bask in Alex Jones’ reaction to the Onion purchasing InfoWars at a bankruptcy auction, before diving deep into an NYT article that makes a few things clear, from the incomprehensible rationale to the evident existence of the shy Trump voter. They also talk with David from San Fran about the role of oil in Israel’s ongoing annexation of Gaza, parse through the absurd endeavor that has been Trump naming his cabinet picks (much to Mike Johnson’s chagrin), and discuss the future of green cards and immigration with Alex from California. Joe from Jersey unpacks the connection between anti-semitism and enthusiastic Zionism, plus, your calls and IMs!

2368 - Trump Supporters NeoConned 11/12/2024

2368 - Trump Supporters NeoConned It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, they run through updates on Trump’s neo-con pivot for his administration, Israel’s failure to meet a US deadline to boost aid to Gaza (and the unlikelihood of repercussions), calls to annex the West Bank, final tallies on the US Senate race, the GOP’s House majority, and civil unrest in Haiti, also touching on the importance of organizing in the wake of this election, and diving deep into Congress’ ongoing fight to pass the “Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act” which would set the stage for Trump to abuse any non-profit that acts against him. Next, they parse through some of Trump’s overwhelmingly hawkish, neo-conservative choices for his administration, including notorious supporters of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, respectively, Marco Rubio and Mike Waltz. They also touch on Trump’s ability to differentiate himself from the “establishment” GOP, despite wanting all of the same things, and tackle his über-concerning agenda against higher education in the US. They wrap up the free half with the importance of being militant about the lessons the Left (and Democrats) learn from this election, and discuss the future direction of the show. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma talk with Gilbert from California about what to expect from a GOP trifecta, unpack AOC’s Q-and-A with joint AOC-Trump voters, and explore Israel’s unsurprising response to the US election (more exuberant, unchecked violence). They also talk with RM Brown about his work with the Tim Pool Research Foundation, before doing their own deep dive into Sam’s Halloweekend appearance on Tim Pool, including Tim’s open acknowledgment of his refusal to do any research beyond reading a subheading. Kevin from Columbus touches on the “your body, my choice” trend, and the importance of community organizing, and the MR Team unpacks RFK’s wild pitch for a spot in the Trump administration, with some help from Kowalski from Nebraska, plus, your calls and IMs!

2367 - Lessons For Democrats In Trump's Win w/ David Dayen 11/11/2024

2367 - Lessons For Democrats In Trump's Win w/ David Dayen Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with , executive editor at and co-host of the Organized Money , to discuss the continued fallout from last Tuesday's elections. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the ongoing recriminations of Dems’ major losses in last week’s elections, a GOP trifecta, Trump’s border czar, Elise Stefanik, Massachusetts teachers’ labor action, Trump’s hush money conviction, and the House’s fast-tracking of a bill perfectly suited to Trump’s fashy aims, also touching on how Trump’s deportation plan has been drastically understated. David Dayen then joins, diving right into the broader context of this election within an era of overwhelmingly volatile politics, both within the US – as just the third instance of three-consecutive one-term presidencies – and globally – amid international anti-incumbent backlash – and why so much of that insecurity is a direct reflection of an economically insecure electorate with little-to-no faith in their political institutions (or those in control of them). Expanding on this, Dayen walks through the contrasting narratives around the US economy, with aggregate statistics and long-term predictions not reflecting the complete disappearance of a phenomenally successful pandemic-era social safety net, rising food and housing costs amid inflation, before he, Sam, and Emma step back to reflect on the long-term narrative of inaction and piecemeal action from the Biden Administration when it came to his primary agenda item of Build Back Better. After expanding on the internal contradictions that have held the Democratic Party back so thoroughly over the last decade, David dives into the major threat of a prepared Trump Administration under Project 2025, and wraps up with the need to push our political institutions (be they media or state) to keep emphasizing oversight and accountability as we head into Trump 2.0. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma unpack the expansive plans Trump has for his recently-named border Czar, and listen to Philippe Reines – advisor to Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris’ campaigns – give his take on why the Democratic party should double down on the anti-woke. Malaika Jabali absolutely nails how Democrats’ 2024 campaign ignored the working class, plus, your calls and IMs!

2366 - Harris/Walz Autopsy; Biden’s Role In Trump’s Win; What Do Americans Want? w/ Mehdi Hasan 11/08/2024

2366 - Harris/Walz Autopsy; Biden’s Role In Trump’s Win; What Do Americans Want? w/ Mehdi Hasan It's Casual Friday! Emma speaks with , founder, CEO, and editor-in-chief of , to discuss all of the developments since Tuesday's election. First, Emma runs through updates on the Harris-Walz campaign’s overperformance in battleground states, PA Dems’ maintenance of the State House majority, the ongoing battle for the US House, the Trump Administration, preparations for Trump’s mass deportations, the GOP’s anti-abortion tact, Israel’s advancing genocide, and rising world food prices, also diving a little deeper into swing-state election results and watching Karine Jean-Pierre throw Harris under the bus in the face of potential criticism of Biden. Mehdi Hasan then joins, first touching on the already-advancing relationship between the Trump and Netanyahu administrations as Israel prepares an annexation of Northern Gaza, before shifting back to the still-developing numbers from Tuesday’s blowout win by Trump and the GOP, looking at Trump’s wins among minority voters (particularly Latin men), and unpacking why his vision was able to appeal to groups he actively seeks to discriminate against. After expanding on the major role misogyny and racism played in grounding Trump’s campaign against Harris, Hasan and Emma parse through the divide between blaming the campaign and blaming the voters, discussing the complete gap in perception and reality around border crossings, crime, and inflation and the failure of messaging behind, before wrapping up the interview with what Democrats have to change about the way they do politics. Emma also touches on a note on fighting fascism from a French Leftist. And in the Fun Half: Emma and Matt unpack the role of misogyny in the overwhelming victory by Trump and the GOP, Jack from Florida tackles Trump and America’s love for money, and Alex in Phoenix explores what happened to the coalition built around Bernie Sanders’ campaign. The MR Team also touches on the continued scapegoating of minorities in the wake of Trump’s victory, some typically horrific election analyses from Bari Weiss and Tom Suozzi, and Lula da Silva’s plea to Trump over climate change. Thomas from Richmond discusses the future of DSA, and Jen Psaki has an astonishingly valid revelation about Democrats, plus, your calls and IMs!

2365 - Who Will Win The House? Remaking The Democratic Party w/ Daniel Nichanian, Usamah Andrabi 11/07/2024

2365 - Who Will Win The House? Remaking The Democratic Party w/ Daniel Nichanian, Usamah Andrabi It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with , editor-in-chief of , to discuss the state of the rest of the downballot races after Tuesday's results. Then, she speaks with communications director & spokesperson for , to discuss what's next for Democrats heading into 2025. First, Emma runs through updates on Harris’ election concession, the DNC blame game, exit polling, abortion’s performance, the lingering House fight, Netanyahu’s Trump bootlicking, the Trump Administration, and major wildfires in California, before watching Astead Herndon’s astute reflections on Dems’ failure to run on anything but the status-quo and abortion. Daniel Nichanian then joins, diving right into the overwhelming rejection of Harris, particularly as an extension of a deeply unpopular Biden Administration, and the major defeats seen by Dem Senate candidates, before walking through the stark contrast between that electoral apathy and the genuine success of progressive referendum and state-level progressive campaigns, briefly touching on the lingering (though unlikely) possibility of Democrats’ winning a slim majority in the House. After expanding on the stratification of voting on the Presidency versus down-ballot, Daniel and Emma tackle the major state legislature losses handed to Democrats in Michigan, and Minnesota, and why the future of Congressional campaign fights may lie in the northeast. Usamah Andrabi and Emma then parse through the ongoing failure of Democrats’ evident disassociation from the working-class identity that had carried their coalition for decades, refusing to run campaigns that aren’t geared around unifying a mythical centrist coalition (that also includes Republicans and Progressives) driven by celebrities and billionaires and grounded in diet-right-wing politics, and emphasizing abstract economic conditions over the material, lived reality with which everyday Americans struggle. They also touch on the major drag of Harris’ commitment to the overwhelmingly unpopular status quo under Biden, and unpack the future of a fight for a Democratic party that actually fights for and with the working class. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they unpack their election reflections, tackle how Biden set up Harris to fail, and highlight some major distinctions between Obama’s winning campaign and Dems’ last few major failures. Joe Scarborough blames cancel culture and identity politics for Harris losing, and the MR Team dives deep into Democrats’ persistent failure to set the narrative in mainstream media, plus, your calls and IMs!

2364 - Trump Wins: US Embraces Fascism & Rejects Liberalism. Our Path Forward w/ Ettingermentum 11/06/2024

2364 - Trump Wins: US Embraces Fascism & Rejects Liberalism. Our Path Forward w/ Ettingermentum It’s Hump Day! Emma speaks with of the "" on SubStack to discuss the results of the 2024 election. First, Emma runs through the big updates on Trump’s victory in the Presidential election, the GOP’s taking of the Senate (and likely keeping the House), exit polls, the success and failure of various abortion referendums, and California’s tough-on-crime referendum, before expanding on their personal reflections on the GOP’s overwhelming victory yesterday. Ettingermentum then joins, as he and Emma where their polling predictions went wrong, also unpacking why Dems learned all of the wrong lessons from their success in the 2022 midterms – particularly in terms of interpreting it as an explicit endorsement of the Biden Administration – and the complete failure of Democrats and Kamala Harris to set forth an alternative vision to the GOP’s demagogic fascism and Biden’s lethargic liberalism. After briefly touching on the legitimacy of the “Shy” Trump voter, and parsing through the lessons on campaign ground game, Josh and Emma look at the parallels between Obama and Trump’s victories – particularly in terms of turning out disengaged voters – and dive deep into what the future of the progressive project will look like under Trump. And in the Fun Half: After expanding on the Right’s sweeping victory in yesterday’s elections, Emma and the MR Team talk with Kimmy from Kentucky about moving forward as a red-state single mother and the importance of community organizing – both materially and spiritually – and Ronald Raygun shares his reflections on Trump’s victory. They also unpack the “lessons” that could be learned, Valerie from Arizona shares some personal messages and a hypothesis, and Blake from Nashville tackles party politics.

2362 - One Day Out From The 2024 Election w/ Dave Weigel 11/04/2024

2362 - One Day Out From The 2024 Election w/ Dave Weigel Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with , politics writer at , author of the "Americana" newsletter just one day out from the 2024 election. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on final-day swing state polling, the lingering impact of Trump’s fascist rally at MSG, the electoral drag of Harris’ support for genocide, RFK’s fluoride attack, Israel’s banning of UNRWA and enforced starvation in Gaza, and the NYT Tech Guild strike, before touching on Trump’s ongoing deterioration and Mike Johnson’s wild slip-up over the CHIPs Act. Dave Weigel then joins, diving right into the major Selzer poll out of Iowa, what it shows us regarding Harris’ overwhelming support from women, and what this poll (and others) can tell us about the success of Harris' voter outreach across swing states. Weigel, Sam, and Emma also parse through the numbers behind early voting, why Democrats aren’t particularly pressed about them, and the evolving constituency of independent voters, before touching on the GOP’s GOTV fiasco – led by Elon Musk and Charlie Kirk. After briefly reflecting on the lingering impact of Trump’s Bund rally at MSG, they get into a preview of the Senate fight, what the best/worst case scenarios are for Dems and Republicans across the Presidency, House, and Senate, and what particular races might act as bellwethers for the greater election. Sam also highlights a John Oliver segment on Georgia Rep. Ruwa Romman’s comments on voting for Harris. And in the Fun Half: Emma talks with Greg from Massachusetts about down-ballot voting and the secret men for Harris vote, dives deep into the context for and meaning behind Selzer’s Iowa poll (with some added commentary from Trump and, later on, Jeff from Iowa), and Tim from Chicago asks about the election night timeline. Tucker reflects on wrestling with his demons (and losing), RFK Jr. sets his sights on fluoride, and Steve Doocy can’t quite put his finger on why women don’t like Trump, plus, your calls and IMs!

2361 - GOP Intensifies ‘Bro-Vote’ Strategy; Signs Of Harris’s Turnout Edge w/ Jeet Heer 11/01/2024

2361 - GOP Intensifies ‘Bro-Vote’ Strategy; Signs Of Harris’s Turnout Edge w/ Jeet Heer It's Casual Friday! Emma hosts national affairs correspondent for to round up the week in news just 4 days out from the 2024 Election. First, Emma runs through updates on early voting numbers, swing state polling, SCOTUS taking up Pennsylvania’s ballot case, Trump’s visit to Dearborn, TPUSA’s voting drives, Israel’s ongoing slaughter in Gaza and destruction of Lebanon, the Boeing machinists’ labor push, Texan fascism, and the devastating flash floods in Spain, before watching Hannity and Newt Gingrich happily join the “affirming women’s fears about conservative men” party. Jeet Heer then joins, here, at the end of all things, as he and Emma dive deep into the contradicting trends around the incoming US presidential election, first tackling Harris’ major gap among undecided voters due to her implicit support for Biden’s genocide in Gaza (as well as the greater insistence by the Democratic party to cede ground on anti-imperialism), before shifting to the ongoing war on “gender” grounds, with Trump attempting to court young white male voters with his fascist paternalism, including some odd outreach to the elite gay white man constituency. Wrapping up, Jeet and Emma parse through the potentials as they assess the future of the progressive fight under either a Trump or a Harris presidency. And in the Fun Half: Emma talks with Charles from Nashville about his father’s consumption of conservative media, unpacks the constant pervasion of Israel’s apartheid onto its Israeli Jewish population, and discusses the Green Party’s questionable stances with Ethan from Washington. Joe Rogan sees Islam as the biggest threat to the US democracy, Trump-Epstein leaks come out, and Kowalski from Nebraska chats about his final harvest and the state of Nebraskan politics. Ramaswamay gets a lesson in taking out the trash, Charlie Kirk has some thoughts about women who dare undermine their husbands, plus, your calls and IMs!

2360 - Key Races To Watch; The Plan After Voting for Harris w/ Aaron Kleinman, Rep. Ruwa Romman 10/31/2024

2360 - Key Races To Watch; The Plan After Voting for Harris w/ Aaron Kleinman, Rep. Ruwa Romman It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with , director of research for the at , to discuss what to watch next week on Election Day. Then, she speaks with Georgia State to discuss her after-action plan upon voting for Kamala Harris. First, Emma runs through updates on early voting, swing state polling, Trump’s garbage stunt, PA voting, Elon’s Super PAC exploitation, Trump’s healthcare and immigration agenda, Biden’s state department coverup of Israel’s genocide, Israel’s demolition of southern Lebanon, and flash floods in Spain, before watching Jesse Watters prove exactly why conservative men and such a ridiculous danger to their spouses. Aaron Kleinman then joins, as he and Emma jump right into addressing this election’s role as yet another “closest” election in US history, what signs point to that not being the case (largely favoring Harris), and why the thin margin being shown in polling must be at least addressed by the Harris campaign. Kleinman then steps back to parse through the “demolition derby” that is the state legislature races across the country, including the wildly close races across Pennsylvania's Senate and House, the Democrats’ push in Florida and Wisconsin, and the role certain North Carolina races play as bellwethers for the US presidential election, before wrapping up with a quick assessment of the key legislatures Dems are seeking to flip, and what to make of the GOP push in Blue havens like New York and California. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they parse a little deeper through the absurdity of Trump’s garbage stunt, talk with JR from Philly about polling problems, and address the topic of pacifist invasion defense with Alfred from Texas. They also unpack TYT’s shallow discussion on fascism, Garrett from Northern Virginia discusses misinformation around late-term abortions, and Elon Musk struggles to capture the hearts of the US electorate with his blatant sexism and exploitation.

2359 - Trump's Plan To Traumatize Civil Servants w/ Molly Redden & Andy Kroll 10/30/2024

2359 - Trump's Plan To Traumatize Civil Servants w/ Molly Redden & Andy Kroll It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with , reporter covering national politics at , and , reporter covering voting, elections, & democracy at , to discuss their piece of reporting entitled First, Sam runs through updates on the final six days to the US election, early voting numbers, RFK’s ballot problems, Trump’s threat to Police over mass deportations, the US economy, Israel’s en masse slaughter of civilians in Gaza and Lebanon, and Elon Musk v. the NLRB, before briefly touching on the role of Kamala Harris’ identity in voters’ support of/aversion to her. Molly Redden and Andy Kroll then join, diving right into who Russell Vought is in the context of Trump’s first administration (Director of the Office of Management and Budget), current campaign (policy director of the RNC platform committee), and the SUPPOSEDLY unrelated Project 2025 (co-author), before touching on the role he played in the evolution of the Trump team’s knowledge of the administrative state, and – more importantly – how to dismantle it. Expanding on that latter element, Redden and Kroll parse through the first Trump administration’s learning process in how to manage (and mismanage) the executive branch, forcing them to rely on career civil servants at the start who, annoyingly, cared about the work they were doing, before slowly pushing them out as Trump loyalists began to understand what they were doing, with a particular focus on the danger Trump’s “Schedule F” poses to any remaining committed civil servants in the executive branch should he return to office. After tackling Russell Vought’s outspoken support for the complete “traumatization” of these workers on their way out, Sam, Molly, and Andy look to the extensive plan Trump’s team (and their Project 2025 buddies) have for a radical executive intervention beginning day 1 (should he become President), including relevant regulations and legal justifications, before they wrap up the interview by tackling what we can do (electorally and otherwise) to stop a second Trump Administration. And in the Fun Half: Sam reads Kowalski’s reflections on a Nebraska Town Hall, JD Vance takes offense at people taking offense to being called “garbage” before going on to take offense to being called “garbage,” and Sandy from Ontario touches on Canada’s recent elections. Derrick from Virginia objects to how MR has painted his campaign, Bruce from North Carolina on local feelings heading into the election, and Donald Trump discusses why we don’t all have to get along. Hannity runs cover for Trump’s fascist rally, Elon Musk continues to be a tiny sniveling weasel, and Rich from Missouri dives into the GOP’s use of “ballot candy” to mislead and lure voters. Dave Rubin has some election theories, Charles from Virginia explores what an insurrection would look like without Trump in office, Jack from St. Louis on Missouri’s judges, and Mike Johnson says the GOP has a healthcare plan. The MR Crew also watches Robbie Roadsteamer beautifully take the piss out of Steve Bannon and Hulk Hogan, plus, your calls and IMs!

2358 - The Fundamentalist Catholic Sect That Has Shaped Our Government w/ Gareth Gore 10/29/2024

2358 - The Fundamentalist Catholic Sect That Has Shaped Our Government w/ Gareth Gore It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with writer and editor about his new book Opus: First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Trump’s visit to Allentown in the wake of his fascist rally in New York, the Harris Campaign, polling, Florida’s abortion amendment, attacks on ballot boxes in Washington, Nevada’s election rules, Steve Bannon’s release from prison, fallout from Bezos’ rule over the Washington Post, and Israel’s banning of UNRWA, before expanding on the overwhelming backlash to Tony Hinchcliffe’s set at Trump’s fascist rally in NYC, and a potential connection to one Joe Rogan. Gareth Gore then joins, diving right into the story of his research into the collapse of a Spanish bank that led him to uncover the outrageous and extensive financial connections between Opus Dei, said bank, and myriad “hospitality” schools across the globe that routinely trafficked women, before stepping back to unpack what Opus Dei is and its process of radicalization under Spanish Priest (and founder) Josemaría Escrivá in early 20th Century Spain to become the reactionary, militant, elite-connected, and Papal-doubting organization that we see today. After briefly expanding on the expansive state of Opus Dei’s connection to the contemporary US conservative movement, particularly in the Courts and Media, Gore steps back to analyze the rise of Opus Dei in the US, walking through its first few decades of struggle before its lingering presence around elite institutions finally took off, and exploring its central motive (from its roots in Spain) of pervading elite networks to grow its political power, with the ultimate goal of imposing their theocratic rule. Gareth also walks Sam through the story of Opus Dei’s “Hospitality Schools,” as a central example of their emphasis on abusive and exploitative hierarchy, and the overwhelming backlash to his reporting from Opus Dei-affiliated groups and individuals, before wrapping up by assessing the role the organization is playing in the ongoing US elections, with tight ties to both GOP Mega-Donor Leonard Leo and Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma dive a little deeper into the widespread reaction to Tony Hinchcliffe’s wildly racist speech at Trump’s MSG rally, tackle the Supreme Court’s newest “Independent State Legislature” case out of Pennsylvania, and unpack the depths of bigotry behind Ryan James Girdusky’s astonishing threat to Mehdi Hasan on CNN. Kari Lake can’t get past that whole “refusing to concede an election” thing, Thomas from New Jersey discusses the ongoing attack against Hasan and co., and Cole from Little Rock explores an ongoing conversation with his Christian Zionism grandmother-in-law. John from San Antonio bums us out with his election predictions, plus, your calls and IMs!

2357 - Did Trump Purposefully Evoke New York Nazi Rally? 10/28/2024

2357 - Did Trump Purposefully Evoke New York Nazi Rally? Happy Monday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines 8 days away from the 2024 Election. First, they run through updates on the final countdown to election day 2024, Trump’s fascist rally at MSG, Harris’ final campaign push, GOP leads in Texas and Nebraska senate races, Jeff Bezos’ obstruction of a Washington Post endorsement of Harris in a quid pro quo with Trump, Israel’s attack on Iran and devastation in Gaza and the West Bank, PA DA Larry Krasner’s suit against Elon Musk, the fifth circuits election shenanigans, and North Dakota’s property tax, also watching Vance continue his floundering media run as Jake Tapper confronts him over Trump’s “enemy from within” comments. Sam and Emma then parse through some of the most astonishing moments from Trump’s fascist rally at Madison Square Garden in NYC, unpacking its parallel with a full-scale Nazi rally at MSG in 1939, exploring the breadths of virulent racism in “comedian” Kill Tony Hinchcliffe’s speech (and the unsurprising backlash to it), and watching Rudy Giuliani do one final dance on stage for Trump and Israel. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma unpack Trump’s “polling is fake” take on Rogan, parse through coverage of polling and what to make of polling among voters of various propensities, and attacks on ballot boxes in Portland and Vancouver. Omar from Dallas then calls in as he, Sam, and Emma dive deep into the bipartisan complicity in supporting Israel’s genocide, the near guarantee of a West Bank annexation under Trump, the particular complicity of one Joe Biden, Democrats’ refusal to learn from the electorate, single-issue voting and theories of change, and much more, before they chat with Jermo about election expectations, Stevie from Portland about why policy doesn’t get news time, and Jacob from Indianapolis about the lack of sound logic behind conspiracy. Richard from Houston discusses abortion rhetoric, plus, your calls and iMs!

2356 - Assessing The Campaign 11 Days Out w/ Tommy Vietor 10/25/2024

2356 - Assessing The Campaign 11 Days Out w/ Tommy Vietor It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with , co-founder of , to round up the week in news. First, Sam runs through updates on US presidential polling, US Senate races, Israel’s indiscriminate offensives in Lebanon and Gaza, Elon’s secret contact with Putin and (definitely unrelated) campaign shenanigans, the CFPB, and the US’ Indigenous boarding schools, also watching Fox attempt to explain why Trump was praising Hitler as a businessman, not a Presidential candidate. Tommy Vietor then joins, jumping right into a conversation on the state of the US presidential race, unpacking the GOP’s big jump in early voting (alongside other, very real Get out the Vote struggles), the Harris Campaign’s targeting of young Black men and alienated conservative white women, and why Harris isn’t highlighting her “change” policies around social welfare despite her desperate need to differentiate herself from Biden. Vietor, Sam, and Emma also tackle the major swing right among Arab-American voters amid the Biden Administration’s exuberant support for the genocide in Gaza, before touching on the benefits and costs of the late start to the Harris campaign, and wrapping up with the major threat Trump poses to Biden’s major progressive wins on the domestic front. And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks Trump’s double down on the bigoted anti-immigrant lies about Haitian migrants in Springfield, basks in Ben Shapiro getting schooled on immigration, and watches the Good Liars keep up the lord’s work of mocking fascists. Dan from New York unpacks Zionist indoctrination, Marissa from California has some unfortunate reflections on Harris’ text campaign, and the Soy Pill from YouTube shares some stories about the floundering Trump campaign.

2355 - Harris Tough In CNN Town Hall; ‘Cyberboss’: AI & Workplace Control w/ Craig Gent 10/24/2024

2355 - Harris Tough In CNN Town Hall; ‘Cyberboss’: AI & Workplace Control w/ Craig Gent It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with north of England editor at , to discuss his recent book First, Emma runs through updates on Harris’ CNN town hall, Trump-Harris polling, a new allegation of Trump’s sexual assault (with a bonus of Epstein’s involvement), Elon Musk’s DOJ troubles, the owner of the LA Times’ editorial issues, the Boeing machinist strike, Israel’s devastation of Lebanon, foreign aid to Lebanon, Michigan AG Nessel’s discriminatory crackdown on pro-Palestine protesters, and the CFPB, before diving a little deeper into Harris’ better answers on CNN last night. Craig Gent then joins, diving right into the mass proliferation of AI and algorithmic practices, not as a replacement for physical or technical labor, but as a replacement for management, exploring how the traditional role of human managers of overseeing a workplace has been replaced with automated systems that employ everything from gamification to surveillance and punishment to keep production in line with neoliberal aims of endless growth. Expanding on this, Gent walks through how these systems serve to further atomize and isolate an already alienated workforce, creating a supposedly infallible system that dictates their every move and completely obfuscates the power dynamics at play, resulting in a working environment with little to no space for agency, dignity, or solidarity, before briefly touching on how workers are desperately seeking for any way to leverage agency in these workspaces. Craig also highlights the pressing need for unions to open up their awareness to the threat of this technology, not as a tool that COULD be used to exploit them, but as ones that were explicitly created TO exploit them, working to suppress and pull back the exploitative nature of these systems rather than attempting to “share” in the benefit of this exploitation. Emma also tackles Bill Ackman’s defense of Trump’s appreciation of Adolf Hitler. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they watch Tucker Carlson bring fascism to the TP gooning party, unpack Harris’ unchanging stance on Israel, and talk with Daniel from LA about LA’s city council race between Jurado and De Leon. Doctor Dragon Rider has some qualms with the show and highlights his research into an interesting conspiracy around the dark money coming from Russia to the conservative mediasphere. Matt Walsh tackles the connection between babysitting and being the President of the United States, and today’s crew unpacks the disgusting state of panic of the zionist movement as its imperialist hypocrisies come to the fore, plus, your calls and IMs!

2354 - What To Expect From This Supreme Court Term w/ Mark Joseph Stern 10/23/2024

2354 - What To Expect From This Supreme Court Term w/ Mark Joseph Stern It's Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with , senior writer at , to discuss the ongoing oral arguments of this current Supreme Court term. First, Sam runs through updates on the last two weeks heading into US elections, Trump’s fascism, Israel’s indiscriminate offensives on Gaza and Lebanon, election interference, Rudy Giuliani’s legal (and financial) woes, Georgia’s election regulations, the House GOP’s leadership jocky, and Trump’s upcoming Rogan appearance, before diving a little deeper into the moral, humanitarian, and all-around political failure that has been the Biden Administration’s full-scale backing of Israeli genocide. Mark Joseph Stern then joins as he and Sam first unpack the suspicious lack of a major (both in quantity and quality) court load for the final Supreme Court term heading into the 2024 elections, exploring the conservative-majority Court’s active attempt to fade into the background rather than risk making controversial decisions (which they surely would) should they hurt Trump’s chances. Stern then looks to a few major cases that SCOTUS has shunted to after November, first tackling Garland v. VanDerStok’s insane argument over the sale of disassembled munitions (aka Ghost Guns) to skirt background check, serial number, and tracking requirements for arms sellers, why the Court likely won’t make an extreme decision, and how victims of this insanely criminal scheme are already taking action. After expanding on the particular role the extremist Fifth Circuit (Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi) plays in advancing these absurd cases to the Trump-packed Supreme Court, Mark and Sam dive into the potential play the Court might make regarding abortion access nationwide, and look to the potential bolstering of anti-trans healthcare legislation via US v. Skrmetti. They wrap up the interview with DeSantis’ legal battle against Florida’s abortion referendum and the Trump Campaign’s ongoing lawfare to undermine and obstruct ballot tallies come November. And in the Fun Half: Tim Pool loudly quits one of his shows to become a theoretical family man, Tim Walz discusses the Harris Campaign’s relationship to dipshits like the Cheneys and the Trump Campaign’s relationship to dipshits like Elon Musk, and JD Vance attempts to claim that Donald Trump – the Kleptocrat-in-Chief – isn’t attached to monied interests. Kerry from New York and Sam unpack the relationship between masculinity, maturity, and comedy, MTG and the Trump Campaign start laying the groundwork for election denial (with some help from fair-and-balanced reporting by CBS), and Rudy Giuliani has to turn over practically all of his property to the Georgian election workers he got harassed. Alex from Boston explores some misunderstandings of the pharmaceutical industry, and John Kelly calls Trump a fascist, plus, your calls and IMs!

2353 - White Voters, Gaza, and Swing States & Kansas City Tenants on Strike 10/22/2024

2353 - White Voters, Gaza, and Swing States & Kansas City Tenants on Strike It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. But first, they speak with Anna Heetman, striking tenant and leader with the Independence Towers Tenant Union in Kansas City. First, Sam runs through updates on US election polling, Israel and the Biden Administration, Israel’s potential attack on Iran, student loans, fake reviews, labor action with Kaiser healthcare workers, medical abortion statistics, and Trump’s newest legal woe before watching Owen Shroyer demonstrate the right’s new tact toward young men: trying to make women seem hysterical for caring about their rights. Sam also touches on some data around the public perception of the Harris and Trump campaigns, the importance of Harris’ major social policy announcements, and the growing role of Gaza in certain swing states. Anna Heetman then joins, diving right into an outline of the ongoing fight from the Independence Tower and Quality Hill Towers tenant unions against the (ongoing) malpractice in the management, ownership, sale, and maintenance of their buildings, tackling the extensive membership of these tenant unions within the context of these towers, and walking through the laundry list of safety, security, health, and well-being concerns that has pervaded life in these complexes over the tenure of multiple owners. After briefly expanding on the chaos particularly brought on by the exploitative ownership of Parker Webb and FTW Investments, Heetman walks Sam through the major purpose behind this intensive organizing effort and rent strike, beyond even the more obvious material needs of tenants, exploring how this fight has highlighted the needs for greater regulation of federally-backed loans for property purchases, and rent control. Wrapping up the free half, Sam covers Trump’s dropping poll numbers among his key demographics. And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks the meeting all young male voters have been waiting for (Jesse Watters and Hulk Hogan), talks with Sam from Nashville and Bullprog from Minnesota, respectively, about (among other things) the wild zionist attacks on Hasan Piker, and watches Ben Shapiro show off his genocidal mania. Kowalski from Nebraska has some choice words about the “fruits” on the East Coast before unpacking major food insecurity crises in Sudan and Lebanon, John from San Antonio parses through the polls now ~13.5 days out from the election, and Eric Trump starts the war on Christmas before Halloween has even hit. Donald Trump waxes psychotic about Bobby Kennedy, and a bullet hole is revealed in Tim Sheehy’s supposed war wound story, plus your calls and IMs!

2352 - "Vulture Capitalism" w/ Grace Blakeley 10/21/2024

2352 - "Vulture Capitalism" w/ Grace Blakeley Happy Monday! Sam speaks with , English economics & politics commentator, staff writer at to discuss her recent book First, Sam runs through updates on the final 14 days before the US presidential election, Israel’s ongoing assault on Palestine and potential pivot to Iran, environmental disaster in Cuba, Elon Musk’s failures and fraud in his work alongside the Trump campaign, National Association of Letter Carriers’ labor news, Tesla’s regulatory problems, and the US economy, before diving a little deeper into the insanity of Elon Musk launching contrasting ad campaigns in Michigan attempting to stoke anti-Semitic and Islamophobic fears in Muslim and Jewish communities. Grace Blakeley then joins, first working to unpack the commonly accepted dichotomy between capitalism and a centrally-planned (socialist) economy, with the dystopia of socialism juxtaposed by liberalism’s vision of free-market democracy, before wading into the problems and inaccuracies of this binary, namely the fact that liberalism’s defining qualities (free-markets and democracy) don’t apply to the existing capitalist societies of today (particularly the largest imperial powers like the US and UK), where wealth and political power are becoming increasingly concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer elites, translating into what is essentially centrally-planned oligarchy. Blakeley steps back to walk through the evolution of capitalism to this point, tackling neoliberals’ work to publically redefine a libertarian “free market” as a return to natural systems, while elites privately saw it as an explicit vision to protect corporate power amid rising social movements, establishing clear economic norms against anything that could threaten privatization, the free movement of capital, and low tax rates, while creating international institutions (backed by the West) to dole out punishment for any revolutionary states that sought to challenge them abroad, before touching on the contrasting work of a Keynesian vision – backed by the working class – that pushed the idea of a protective state and well-regulated markets, and exploring the major success this ideology had in bolstering the US labor movement of the mid-20th Century. Next, Grace walks Sam through the eventual success of neoliberal theory with the regimes of Pinochet, Thatcher, and Reagan in the late 1970s and early ’80s, and their overwhelming work to crush and fragment the working class and social power that had bolstered the social and economic progress of the century to that point, setting the stage for the solidification of the oligarchies we see today. After briefly touching on the value of a return to a more Keynesian vision for economies, and the central importance of revitalizing working-class power, Berkeley wraps up the interview by exploring a few other visions for strong, democratic, and worker-led economies. And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks Trump’s most recent insult to workers (and whether that will even translate past the absurdity of it), and Elon Musk’s ongoing fraudulent and stochastic canvassing work for the Trump campaign. Obama walks through Trump’s extensive effort to undermine the US’ capacity to respond to pandemics, and Jim Breuer does… something… but it’s definitely racist. The MR Team also talks with John from TBurg about Ohio’s Issue 1, Matt from Tennessee about the moral monstrosity that is Richie Torres, and Noah from Nashville on Harris and the Left, plus, your calls and IMs!

2351 - Early Voting A Concern For Trump? and the Jazz Daredevil's Film Score w/ Heather "Digby" Parton & H. Jon Benjamin 10/18/2024

2351 - Early Voting A Concern For Trump? and the Jazz Daredevil's Film Score w/ Heather "Digby" Parton & H. Jon Benjamin It's Casual Friday! Joining us is Heather "Digby" Parton from the blog . Also, H Jon Benjamin, aka the Jazz Daredevil, joins us to talk about his new soundtrack project and his live show in New Jersey. See the Jazz Daredevil in New Jersey here: https://www.subpop.com/artists/jon_benjamin_jazz_daredevil/tours First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the Harris-Walz blue wall press, Trump’s interview dropouts, Israel’s killing of Yahya Sinwar and ongoing assaults on Gaza and Lebanon, early voting in the US, death and justice in Texas and Tennessee, Secret Services’ systemic failures, and an unseemly $30m drop in the polymarket bucket, also parsing through Trump’s confusingly bad appearance on Fox and Friends, leaving hosts stunned over his nonsensical ramblings about attack ads and education. Diby then joins, as she helps Sam and Emma unpack Trump’s struggles at the most sycophantic of town halls with Univision, as he continues to get in his own way with his lies about January 6th and obsession with anti-immigrant fear-mongering. They also dive into early voting turnout trends, with massive numbers out of swing states highlighted by a particular gender gap favoring Democrat-voting women, and explore what that says about the GOP’s low-propensity push, before shifting into an extensive conversation on the Trump campaign’s preemptive attacks on election integrity, and what an attempt to steal the election with real political infrastructure behind it could look like. H. Jon. Benjamin. then helps to explore the relationship between luck and success, and why random and annoying DOES, in fact, = funny. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma unpack Jerry Seinfeld’s wildly reactionary relationship to comedy, watch Elon Musk make even the most sycophantic audience look awkward, and listen to Donald Trump struggle to tie together some frayed conspiratorial strings about “King of the Woke” Harvey Weinstein, plus, your calls and IMs!

2350 - Harris’s Tense Fox News Interview; Can The Labor Movement Save America? w/ Hamilton Nolan 10/17/2024

2350 - Harris’s Tense Fox News Interview; Can The Labor Movement Save America? w/ Hamilton Nolan It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with , labor writer at and author of the How Things Work on SubStack, to discuss his recent book First, Emma runs through updates on Harris’ recent sit-down on Fox, Lina Khan’s role at the FTC under Biden, polling, Israel’s ongoing offensives and genocide in Gaza, US aid to Israel, Biden’s EPA, Georgia’s election shenanigans, Jimmy Carter’s age 100 ballot, DeSantis’ war on Florida’s abortion ballot measure, and a landmark settlement over the LA Catholic Church’s systemic sexual abuse, before diving a little deeper into assessments of Harris’ antagonistic interview on Fox. Hamilton Nolan then joins, diving right into the tight-knit and interdependent relationship between social movements and the institutions that cement the progress these movements seek, unpacking the central role labor unions have played as a ground zero for channeling the energy of social unrest into concrete political progress. After expanding on the disintegration of the state of labor in the US over the last 70 years, with even Biden – perhaps the most pro-union president over that time – overseeing a one-point drop in union rates, and the factors that drove that drop (namely staunch anti-union, anti-organizing, and pro-corporation legislation), Nolan steps back to explore how the environment that this dearth of union power has created makes it exceedingly difficult to push back against it, creating a completely asymmetrical battle between workers and corporations, and why the recent renaissance of labor consciousness – bolstered by folks like Sarah Nelson, Shawn Fian, and Felix Allen – must be capitalized on not just through legislation, by but widening and organizing the millions of Americans that still exist outside of these institutions, something essential to maintaining the progress that these unions can cement. Hamilton and Emma also touch on the major role labor is playing in pushing back against the anti-democratic (and anti-labor) urges of US imperialism, wrapping up the interview by exploring the changing image of the American worker (and the American union member), and why that must be embraced. Emma also touches on Trump’s egotistic and anti-social musings about the state of immigration under Biden-Harris. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton as they talk with El Connipción from San Antonio about Ethan Klein and the conflation of Zionism and Judaism, watch Ezra Klein respond truly horrendously to Ta-Nehisi Coates challenging his inherent biases, and discuss the hypocrisy of White Supremacist rhetoric with Todd from Raleigh. Elon and Tucker bond over being complete and utter charlatans, while Krystal Ball does her best to unpack exactly Saager Enjeti is an idiot, plus, your calls and IMs!

2349 - The Rise of the New Progressive Economics Era? w/ David Dayen & Matt Stoller 10/16/2024

2349 - The Rise of the New Progressive Economics Era? w/ David Dayen & Matt Stoller It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with , executive editor at & of the and author of the newsletter on SubStack, to discuss their new podcast endeavor entitled . First, Sam runs through updates on the impending US presidential election, Israel’s ongoing slaughter in Lebanon, backlash to Israeli aggression from the US and UK, the Boeing machinist strike, the 2024 election scheme, the Elon-Adelson money machine, Hurricane Helene’s missing persons, Nebraskan voter rolls, and Jerry Seinfeld’s musings on the state of comedy, also watching Sean Hannity attempt to run cover for Trump’s disastrous appearance discussing policy at the Economic Club of Chicago. David Dayen and Matt Stoller then join, diving right into the roots of their new podcast “Organized Money” in contextualizing and unpacking the evolution of a new, justice-oriented approach to business and the role it plays in modern society. Dayen and Stoller parse through the expansive nature of the indoctrinating pressures of neoliberal institutions that wholeheartedly rejected the topic of anti-trust from the realm of valid politics, tackling the story of four Google anti-trust cases across two Democratic administrations (Obama and Biden) as they explore the breaking-of-the-dam moment that was simply bringing these cases to court. After briefly expanding on the major impact of just acknowledging the issue of extreme corporate greed (and the government’s role in it) on US politics as a whole, Matt, David, and Sam step back to explore how this vision of business came to be, with the post-economic crisis vacuum of an alternative to failing neoliberal systems pushing those on the American left to construct an image of an economy not grounded in unfettered power, greed, and exploitation. Wrapping up, they look to the future of this new vision for American business, diving deep into the potential of anti-trust under a kleptocrat like Donald Trump and a seemingly yet-undefined establishment cipher like Kamala Harris. And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks the Biden Administration’s most recent move threatening to apply US law to arms transfers to Israel, Ted Cruz lapses his lack of a backbone as he challenges Colin Allred on the debate stage, and Elon Musk reflects on just how funny his penis truly is. Meredith from Upstate reflects on how Sam’s vocal pauses gave her pause, and Ally from New Hampshire helps us explore the average American’s supposed desire for a militant anti-immigrant crackdown, plus, your calls and IMs!

2348 - Vance Committed To Election Denial, Trump Wants Military to Deal With Far Left 10/15/2024

2348 - Vance Committed To Election Denial, Trump Wants Military to Deal With Far Left It's Newsday Tuesday! Sam and Emma are back from the long weekend to break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, they run through updates on the final three weeks of the election cycle, Israel’s continuing war crimes and genocide, Blinken’s supposed demands for Israel, Trump’s string of unhinged campaign fiascos, Harris’ outreach to conservatives, Senate polling, India’s extralegal murder campaign in Canada, and FEMA response, before parsing through JD Vance’s continued inability to answer a question (even poorly!) about the validity of the 2020 election results. Next, they dive deeper into the genuine insanity of Trump’s recent mishaps on the campaign trail, exploring the horrid conditions of his venues, his recent decision to dance (?) instead of taking questions with Kristi Noem (as planned), and his stranding of supporters *FOR HOURS* after cutting short of an event outside of Coachella. They also watch Trump’s attempt to defend his wildly unpopular tariff platform to Maria Bartiromo before diving deep into his militant ideas for dealing with the “threat” of the “people from within” that is American leftists and listening to Glenn Youngkin struggle to make those statements out to be anything other than the pure, unfettered fascism that they are. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma’s budding tensions with caller John from San Antonio grow as he unpacks his takes on polling info and the state of the Harris campaign, Russell Brand takes on those damn evil energies produced by Wifi or something, and Nancy Pelosi once again asks the Dem base not to believe their lying eyes as she attempts to preemptively shirk blame for a loss onto voters. Ronald Raygun discusses the genuine problem of Democrats’ (and Harris’) decision to let the right define the discourse around immigration and crime, Mopin from West Virginia asks about non-mainstream media coverage of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and a listener from SF explores the non-moral arguments against US support for Israel’s genocide.

2347 - The 'Legal' Theft of Indigenous Land w/ Peter D'Errico 10/14/2024

2346 - Casual Friday! w/ Dave Weigel, Francesca Fiorentini 10/11/2024

2346 - Casual Friday! w/ Dave Weigel, Francesca Fiorentini It's Casual Friday! Emma speaks with , politics writer at , author of the "Americana" newsletter, to discuss the biggest headlines of the week. Then, she speaks with comedian , host of the ! First, Emma runs through updates on Israel’s bombing of dense residential areas of Beirut and continuing war crimes at home and in Gaza, Harris' attempt to court Latino voters, Obama’s attempt to court young black men, Trump’s legal woes, Florida’s power issues, voter registration in Florida and Georgia, Boeing’s anti-labor action, and TD Bank’s record-breaking money laundering fine, before parsing a little deeper into Trump decision to shit on the biggest city in a major swing state over… NATO tax rates? Dave Weigel then joins, diving right into the state of the US presidential race in major swing states like Arizona, highlighting Harris’ recent pivot away from emphasizing a populist agenda towards vague bipartisan grandstanding with the few anti-Trump Republicans left while unpacking the positives (and negatives) of this approach electorally. Expanding on this, Dave and Emma parse through the polling numbers on high- and low-/mid-propensity voters – touching on Trump’s particular ability to turn out that ladder group – and why Harris’ strong numbers with newly registered voters is a major plus, before turning to the comparisons between the Dem’s 2024 campaign and those in 2012 and 2016, and why the former – thankfully – might be the more accurate one. After touching on the evolution of Harris’ messaging game post-convention, Weigel dives deep into the GOP’s own insane choices for their messaging campaign – including a reliance on the ever-inconsistent Elon Musk and Turning Points – and what to make of their ongoing push for an anti-trans agenda despite its lack of electoral salience in the past, wrapping up the interview by assessing the dearth of a direct response to Republican narratives on crime, immigration, and trans rights, and what that vacuum in the Democratic messaging campaign might mean come November. And in the Fun Half: Emma and Bradley watch Jesse Watters put on an enchanting display of toxic masculinity with Stephen Miller, dive a little deeper into the absurdity of the Trump messaging campaign (with some help from JD Vance), and highlight the continued strength of Greta Thunberg’s unapologetic anti-colonial activism.
