Newsday Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the latest news leaking out of the Pentagon, as well as Fox News host Will Cain's non-apology after acknowledging he was wrong about doubting that Donald Trump had ever said that he wanted to deport U.S. citizens. Republican congressman Austin Scott gives some hints as to how Republicans are planning to make cuts to Medicaid. Then Emma and Sam also speak to Brendan Benedict, an antitrust and commercial litigation lawyer who is covering antitrust cases for the blog Big Tech on Trial. He gives us an overview of the Google antitrust cases, as well as the current Facebook case which Brendan is covering now for Big Tech On Trial. Check out their coverage here: In the Fun Half, Emma and Sam check ask why Donald Trump continues to punt on releasing more of the Epstein files. They also check in on comedian and podcaster Andrew Schulz, who says he switched from being a Democrat to being a Republican because conservatives are doing cool sh*t now, like saying and doing whatever they want (as long as it's not critical of Israel). Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Brian Kilmeade suggest that the Deep State is out to get him, and that despite them he's not going to join the "cocktail sipping" crowd. Also, the White House welcomes a new journalist into the briefing room with the bravery to finally ask hard-hitting questions, Tim Pool.

2479 - Winning on Immigration and Fighting Oligarchy w/ Rep. Greg Casar, Cody Johnston
It's casual Good Friday, and oh what a week it's been. Emma breaks down Senator Chris Van Hollen's meeting with his constituent Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador, as well as the way the White House and Bukele are trying to spin it. After that, Emma speaks with the new chairman of the House Progressive Caucus Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX), who shares his vision for how the Democratic Party can push back on Trump's draconian immigration crackdown, as well as providing a more positive vision for a forward-looking immigration program of their own. Emma also asks Casar about what conversations are taking place within the House Progressive Caucus about the disconnection between the Democratic Party at large and its constituents on Gaza. Casar also talks about his experience on the Fight the Oligarchy tour with Bernie & AOC, and his desire to make sure the federal government is rid of Elon Musk by May. After that, Emma is joined by Some More News' Cody Johnston, to talk about what is happening (or not happening) to counter the Trump administration's full-court blitz. David Hogg and Chris Cuomo take shots at Bernie, AOC and DNC co-chair David Hogg for "taking a page from the MAGA playbook." Carvel even suggests that he might try to sue Hogg for saying that he's going to support primary campaigns against incumbent Democrats. They also marvel at Jair Bolsonaro's latest edition of shirtless hospital selfies. Check out Some More News' YouTube channel here: In the Fun Half, we watch the interview that Mohhsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student at Columbia who is now in ICE custody, gave before the day of his arrest. His story may be chilling but his words and spirit are an inspiration and beacon of hope in an otherwise dark time.

2478 - MAGA’s End-Times Fascism; RFK Jr’s War On Public Health w/ Naomi Klein, MarkAlain Déry
It's a busy Thursday here at MR HQ, and Emma dives right into the significance Judge James Boasberg's finding cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for not adhering to his previous order on deportations. Meanwhile, Senator Chris Van Hollen is in El Salvador where he's been prevented from visiting his Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Then, Emma is joined by writer, activist and professor Naomi Klein about her new essay The rise of end times fascism. Naomi points out the new form that right wing authoritarianism has taken in finding ways to exit society and Earth itself. Naomi co-wrote the essay with Astra Taylor, which you can read here in The Guardian: After that, infectious disease doctor MarkAlain Déry joins Emma in the studio to discuss the challenges facing public health under the Trump regime, especially from Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. who continues to spread misinformation about any number of things, including about autism and vaccines. MarkAlain expresses his concern that essential programs that receive federal funding could now be in jeopardy, especially those that cater to marginalized communities, especially undocumented people. In the Fun Half, Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton are here to break down the video of Republican senator Chuck Grassley getting yelled at by his constituents at a town hall over the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The group talks about how entrenched some of the support for Trump is among his base, even when his policies cost them their jobs. They also discuss how the attention on the Abrego Garcia is a moment when Democrats need to keep their foot on the gas and show voters that they are willing and able to fight for justice.

2477 - Trump vs Kilmar Abrego Garcia; Alamo Workers Win Big w/ Anna Bower, NYC Alamo United
Halfway through Emma-jority week and we're still just getting started. We check in on a Chuck Grassley town hall where he's confronted by angry constituents in a small town in Iowa.

2476 - Constitutional Crisis Intensifies; How Weapons Sales Drive US Policy w/ Annelle Sheline
It's a Newsday Tuesday with Emma on the mic. She recaps the chilling spectacle that was the Bukele-Trump Oval Office meeting / press availability, including the Kafkaesque exchange over the wrongfully deported Maryland father Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. As Emma explains, despite the Supreme Court's ruling that the administration must make an effort to bring Abrego Garcia home, the Trump administration and and El Salvador's crypto-strong man both claim to be unable to abide by the ruling out of deference to one another. Emma then talks to Annelle Sheline, a research fellow in the Quincy Institute’s Middle East program who's latest paper focuses on the U.S.'s prioritization of weapons sales over human rights. Annelle gets into some of the thinking of her state department colleagues over this issue, which she finds to be rooted in outdated American exceptionalism. The hypocrisy is particularly noteworthy when it comes to Israel, despite growing public sentiment against Israel's destruction of Gaza and perpetual subjugation of the Palestinian people. Read Annelle's paper "Under Primacy, Weapons Sales Will Always Supersede Human Rights" here: In the Fun Half, Emma further peels the onion of Stephen Miller's lies about the Abrego Garcia case, citing the administration's own court filings. She then delves into the debate between Megyn Kelly and Matt Walsh over trad wives and whether women should only tend to the needs of their husbands and children. Ben Shapiro and Some More News also get in on the action. And a caller asks how he might talk to members of his family who have gone down the conservative rabbit hole.

2475 - Trump’s Tariff Thrashing; Bukele Goes To Washington w/ Roberto Lovato
It's Monday, the first day of an Emma-jority week, so buckle up! First, Emma breaks down the latest tariff chaos, with Howard Lutnik and Peter Navarro singing different tunes in explaining why goods like computers, cell phones and the much coveted chips are being exempted from the tariffs. But Navarro doesn't want you tall them exemptions though just FYI. After that, Salvadoran-American author, activist and educator Roberto Lovato joins Emma here to give us some context to Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele's visit to Washington. During his meeting with Trump, Bukele makes it clear that he doesn't plan to return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, despite that the Trump administration has already admitted he was sent to a prison in El Salvador due to an administrative error and that SCOTUS already ordered the Trump administration to make an effort to bring him Abrego Garcia home. Roberto helps contextualize this horrifying new dystopia in history of U.S. - Salvadoran relations. As Roberto points out, Bukele's rise and relationship with Trump is a sign not just of the U.S.'s impact on the Central American country but also visa versa. Check out Roberto's book "Unforgetting: A Memoir of Family, Migration, Gangs, and Revolution": In the Fun Half, Emma checks in on David Rubin and his attempts to understand U.S. - China relations. Emma also breaks the news of the arrest of Palestinian Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi, who was at an appointment where he was set to become a U.S. citizen. We also learn about all the countries Russ has lived in (Chile, Argentina, Colombia & Brazil, kind of).

2474 - Trump Escalates Immigration Crackdown As SCOTUS Rules Against Him w/ Jeet Heer
04/11/2025
2474 - Trump Escalates Immigration Crackdown As SCOTUS Rules Against Him w/ Jeet Heer
It's Casual Friday (relatively speaking), and Sam and Emma start the show with some glimmers of good news on the immigration front, following the Supreme Court's ruling that the Trump administration must make an attempt to bring home Kilmar Armando Ábrego García. The government already admitted they deported Garcia to a maximum security prison in El Salvador because of an administrative error. Sean McGarvey, the president of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers where Garcia is a member, has demanded he be brought home. Sam and Emma are then joined by The Nation's national affairs correspondent Jeet Heer to break down the implications of Trump's chaotic tariff policy, which is accelerating de-dollarization, including among the U.S.'s most (normally) steadfast allies. They also break down the warped logic of Trump's immigration crackdown, including the weaponization of the immigration system for the sake of Israel. Jeet makes the point that both Democrats and Republicans have participated in the weaponization of faux concerns about antisemitism which has brought us to this moment. Jeet also gives his opinion of the much-discussed Abundance Agenda. Check out Jeet's writing here: In the fun half, Sam and Emma react to billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya complaining that Democrats never gave him access to the Oval Office despite the fact that he donated millions of dollars to their campaigns. They also take in Jesse Waters' breakdown of Trump's bizarre cabinet meeting, an all-star sycophantic ceremony with highlights from Elon Musk, RFK Jr. Pam Bondi & Pete Hegseth, each one trying to out-headline the other.

2469 - Trump's Tariffs Melt The Stock Market w/ David Dayen
04/04/2025
2469 - Trump's Tariffs Melt The Stock Market w/ David Dayen
Happy Friday! Sam welcome David Dayen from The American Prospect and Organized Money podcast about Trump's tariff-pocalypse. First, Sam runs through updates on Trump’s global trade war, Congress’ attempt to regain authority over tariffs, South Korea’s impeachment of now-former President Yoon, Trump’s firing of national security officials, the Trump Administration’s public health whoopsie, the Senate’s budget reconciliation, the confirmation of Dr. Oz, Schumer’s polling, Trump’s attack on Brown University, DOGE vs. Social Security, and US aid to Israel, before watching Scott Bessent explain why good markets are bad and bad markets are good. David Dayen then joins to tackle the myriad insanities that led to Trump’s imposition of these tumultuous tariffs, walking through the nonsensical (and potentially AI-generated) formula Trump used to calculate them and the utter dearth of any complementary incentive structure or strategic targeting to go the tariffs, all suggesting that they’re perhaps more grounded in an attempt to bully and punish the rest of the world economically while working-class Americans pay the cost. After expanding on the Bessent “box” theory of Trump’s tariff agenda, Sam and David get in some solid digs at Schumer as they touch on Congress’ ongoing attempt to take back tariff power and ponder the future of a GOP turn on Trump’s economic sabotage, before unpacking what to expect from to the GOP’s ongoing budget reconciliation push. Wrapping up Dayen posits a strong theory on a Conservative push to use rising prices amid tariffs to justify tax cuts, before watching some open criticisms of Trump from Ron Johson and Ted Cruz. And in the Fun Half: Sam tackles the return of Laura Loomer to Trump’s inner circle, now in the capacity as some form of National Security advisor, parses through some highlights from his appearance on PBD, including an attempt to address some Social Security misinformation, and watches Judge Jeanine make some blatantly incorrect statements about the future of the US economy.

2468 - Trump's Terrible Tariffs; Israel Seizes Gaza Land; Tesla Sales Plummet w/ Omar Baddar, Paris Marx
04/03/2025
2468 - Trump's Terrible Tariffs; Israel Seizes Gaza Land; Tesla Sales Plummet w/ Omar Baddar, Paris Marx
It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! The guests will be political analyst Omar Baddar on Israel's renewed attacks in Gaza, and Paris Marx, host of the podcast "Tech Won't Save Us," about how Elon Musk is running Tesla into the ground. First, Emma runs through updates on Trump’s tariff turmoil and responses in both the Senate and House, Mike Waltz’s security issues, Laura Loomer’s return to the White House, Israel’s seizure of land in Gaza, a joint US-Israel attack on Syria, Netanyahu’s visit to Hungary, and Eric Adams’ announcement that he’s running as an independent, before diving deeper into Trump’s tariff announcement, including the bunk equation they used to calculate this policy, and the obvious, extensive impact it will have on everyday Americans. Omar Baddar then joins, jumping right into Israel’s major escalations to their ongoing ethnic cleansing of Gaza, with Netanyahu’s recent announcement that Israel would be going ahead with a full-scale land seizure in North Gaza, adding a “second Philadelphi Corridor” south of Gaza City amid their revamped military barrage, all under the dishonest pretense of saving the hostages. Baddar and Emma then look to Israel’s expansion of hostilities even outside of the genocide of Palestinians, with repeated bombardments against Lebanon – including occasional strikes on Beirut – ongoing despite an alleged ceasefire, unpacking the country’s (and Netanyahu’s) extensive history of pushing an agenda of regional chaos to bolster their position as Middle East watchdogs for the West, with Israel serving major roles in spurring the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and in gutting the Iran Nuclear deal under Trump 1.0. Omar wraps up by touching on the growing backlash to Israel’s belligerency on the international stage, and whether there is hope to be found in both regional and global actors turning away from the US-Israel imperial coalition. Paris Marx then gets right into the wonderful revelations in Tesla’s quarterly earnings report, walking through the devastating drop in sales amid mass recalls, a diversifying EV market, and overwhelming global backlash to the fascist politics of Elon Musk. Marx then tackles the particular failures of Tesla’s *ONLY* new major model release in recent years with the Cybertruck, and how it represents the greater issue of allowing a deranged billionaire to make outrageous promises completely detached from the material reality of both his company and modern technology, before shifting to the explosive impact Chinese products are currently having on the EV market, with BYD proving clear affordability and profitability even in European markets, developments that are all in line with America’s dwindling role as a global economic leader. Paris and Emma wrap up by examining the growing existential threat facing Elon Musk and his companies as backlash to his corrupt business practices and corrupt politics hits back at Tesla and Starlink profits in Europe and Canada, all while he continues to tie his billionaire lifestyle to the worth of those stocks. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton as they watch Trump Cabinet members come out of the woodwork to plead with the public not to panic or get upset over their complete decimation of the global economy and mass inflation it will cause. They also talk with Cassie from Indiana about state-based pushback to the Trump Administration, and listen to Senator Jim Banks’ wild victim blaming as our public health apparatus faces massive job cuts, plus, your calls and IMs!

2467 - Fighting Trump’s Power Grab w/ Robert Weissman, Rohan Grey
04/02/2025
2467 - Fighting Trump’s Power Grab w/ Robert Weissman, Rohan Grey
It's Wednesday! Sam and Emma are joined by Robert Weissman, co-president of the non-profit advocacy organization Public Citizen, which has filed 8 lawsuits against the Trump administration and says they have more coming. Later, Rohan Grey, Assistant Professor of Law at Willamette University, discusses his latest research on the Trump administration’s attempt to seize direct political control over the core payments software of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which handles spending for most of the federal government, to block funds to politically disfavored agencies and programs. First, they run through updates on the victory by liberal Susan Crawford in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, Democrats’ growing margins in deep-red regions, Trump’s tariff fears, the GOP’s anger at proxy voting for new parents, Mike Waltz Gmail whoopsie, Senator Cory Booker’s marathon filibuster, the closure of free measles vaccine clinics in Texas amid a breakout, Ed Martin nomination for D.C. U.S. Attorney, Tesla’s tanking earnings, and the Senate GOP’s budget reconciliation, before expanding on the beautiful revelations around the toxicity of Elon Musk in US politics as seen in the incredible leftward swing amid his intense campaigning for conservative Brad Schimel Wisconsin. Robert Weissman then joins, first previewing the typical work of Public Citizen including advocacy, litigation, and organizing on behalf of the public against corporations, touching on everything from trade and consumer financial protection to drug pricing and campaign finance laws. Weissman then unpacks Public Citizens tactical shift under Trump 2.0, walking through the various legal battles they have taken on against Trump’s attempt to dismantle the federal U.S. government through executive reform, with a particular focus on their case to save the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – an agency birthed from the 2008 Financial Crisis’ overwhelming impact on consumers – also touching on their effort to protect USAID and the Department of Education. Robert, Sam, and Emma expand on these lawsuits' ultimate goal of preventing the full-scale deletion of these agencies, understanding that, even with success, the Trump Administration will constantly be searching for (and finding) new ways to obstruct any accountability or pushback from this project, and focusing instead on ensuring the potential of rebuilding under future leadership, before wrapping up by looking to the upcoming fights over Trump’s insistence on using his executive power to fire any and everybody, and the role of “national emergencies” in bolstering executive power. Rohan Grey then joins, diving right into Elon Musk’s outrageous (and obviously untrustworthy) agenda of digitizing America’s fiscal regime, stepping back to walk through the process by which US fiscal policy operates, with said policy – be it spending, taxation, issuing debt, etc – originating in Congressional legislation, moving through the Office of Management and Budget under the President to manage the allocated spending over the allotted time, to the Treasury’s instructions with the Federal Reserve as the ultimate entity in charge of the dollars. After expanding on the utter absurdity of Elon’s plan – outside of if, perhaps, you wanted to completely rid the system of accountability or pushback – Rohan, Sam, and Emma parse through DOGE’s opaque takeover of the Bureau of Financial Services amid their project to indiscriminately cut funds, including Elon setting up an obvious assault on Social Security, wrapping up by expanding on what a botched system shift for the federal payment systems would look like, and assessing a more realistic idea for bringing our systems into the modern era. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma listen to Wisconsin Justice Susan Crawford celebrate winning an election against tens of millions of Elon Musk’s money, unpack Elon’s very-related copium, and watch Fox try to justify the extensive negative impact Trump’s tariffs will have on the American people. The MR Crew also touches on Cory Booker’s marathon filibuster (and the tactics underneath it), admires Lauren Boebert’s self-assured idiocy, and dissects the blatant inhumanity on display with the Trump Administration’s justification for their indiscriminate renditioning of migrants – legal or not – to a Salvadoran gulag, plus, your IMs!

2466 - Trump's Big Law Vendetta w/ Rachel Cohen

2466 - Trump's Big Law Vendetta w/ Rachel Cohen
Sam and Emma are joined by Rachel Cohen, lawyer formerly of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, to discuss the country’s largest law firms bending the knee to Donald Trump. First, they run through updates on today’s elections in Wisconsin and Florida, Trump’s attack on the US public health regime, tomorrow’s tariff deadline, the Senate GOP’s budgetary sleight of hand, legal pushback to Trump over voting restrictions and his reclassification of protected Venezuelan migrants, Trump’s ongoing renditioning of Latin Americans to an El Salvadorian gulag, the mobilization of far-right militia’s to protect Musk’s businesses, Trump’s targeting of Harvard, Cory Booker’s filibuster, and dwindling Canadian tourism to the US, also watching Jesse Watters explain exactly why he (and the rest of the right) doesn’t care about due process. Rachel Cohen then dives Trump’s successful effort to cow some of the biggest law firms in the US – including her former firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom – unpacking precisely what makes these law firms so “important” to Trump (wealthy clients, billions in profits), and the intimate relationship they have with the political elite, before walking through the actual contents of Trump’s threats to these firms’ contracts and access to federal buildings (e.g. courts), and why, unlike others, Skadden seemed to capitulate without even facing an Executive Order, including handing over $100m in pro-bono work to the administration. Expanding on this latter element, Cohen tackles the Trump Administration’s underlying aims for this authoritarian push against these attorneys elite, with the push against DEI policies, the takeover of pro-bono work, and the Executive Orders chilling pushback to Trump’s anti-migrant and anti-trans agenda coming at a time where he and his goons are undercutting due process for migrants and criminalizing trans identity. After touching on the mix of hubris and cowardice driving the executive capitulation in the world of corporate law, and what the internal pushback looks like among Cohen’s peers, Rachel, Sam, and Emma wrap up by reemphasizing the real goal of Trump’s project – a fascist takeover – and the importance of organized dissent. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma talk with Ronald Raygun about the precarious state of immigration law, dissect Elon Musk’s blatant and manipulative lies about Social Security fraud, and watch as Sen. Bill Cassidy accidentally gets blunt about the GOP’s plan to gut Medicare. Mike Lindell teases a run for the Governorship of Minnesota, and the MR Team dives deep into Ezra Klein’s poor response to anti-Oligarchical critiques of his “Abundance” doctrine, plus, your calls and IMs!

2465 - Elon And Republicans Are Panicked Over Special Elections w/ Dave Weigel
It’s Monday! Sam and Emma are joined by Dave Weigel, politics writer at Semafor, author of the "Americana" newsletter to preview the first round of major elections after the Trump/Musk regime’s DOGE overhaul. First, they run through updates on Trump’s tariffs, a return of stagflation, the rejection of Mike Waltz, the conviction of Marine Le Pen, DOGE’s Social Security crash, RFK’s gutting of infection disease and HIV/AIDS policy, Tesla protests, Tesla fires, Iran’s response to Trump, and the Senate GOP’s budget push, before expanding on Trump’s authoritarian crackdown on migrants and watching Elon attempt to rally a Wisconsin crowd of sycophants. Dave Weigel then joins, reflecting on the rapid radicalization of the race for the last seat Wisconsin Supreme Court since the injection of over $20 million of Elon Musk’s money, going from the culmination of a decade-long battle by Wisconsin Democrats to break down the GOP gerrymander to a full-scale (in Elon’s words) battle for the “future of civilization.” After expanding on the more personal stakes Elon Musk has in the makeup of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and why, despite that, the messaging has almost entirely centered on supporting Trump’s agenda, Weigel, Sam, and Emma shift to the upcoming special elections in Florida, as they unpack the fear the GOP is facing over their dwindling margins over the last few months, highlighting some particularly brutal campaigning from Democrat Josh Weil against “unhinged,” “anti-American” Randy Fine, and the importance of tying the Right to Musk’s anti-Medicaid, anti-Social Security agenda. Wrapping up, Dave touches on the potential GOP response if these margins continue to shrink, and how DOGE has allowed them to change their messaging. And in the Fun Half: Emma tackles the Trump/Musk agenda of boosting the immigration of *white* South Africans to the US, unpacks the Working Family Party’s endorsement of four candidates for New York City Mayor, and watches Zohran Mamdani continue to absolutely nail his messaging campaign. The MR Team also touches on Vivian Wilson's appearance with Hasan, growing regret from MAGA-voting federal workers, before taking a few calls to unpack Trump’s Greenland push, the devastating impact of Trump’s authoritarian crackdown on DACA Dreamers, and Canada’s Mark Carney, plus, your IMs!

2464 - Stephen Miller's Admin & Society Folding to Fascism w/ Heather 'Digby' Parton

2464 - Stephen Miller's Admin & Society Folding to Fascism w/ Heather 'Digby' Parton
It's Friday! Sam and Emma welcome Heather 'Digby' Parton back to the program for a look at another very busy week in news. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on HHS’ mass firings, Dem lawmakers’ demand for the release of the abducted Tufts student, Trump’s tariffs, Trump’s targeting of Smithsonian over “ideology”, the Senate GOP’s love for overdraft fees, HUD’s wage theft, Judge Boasberg’s disciplining of the Trump Administration, the scrapping of Elise Stefanik’s UN role, Elon Musk’s attempt to buy out the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, and Trump’s executive order to cancel union contracts, also touching on Schumer’s absurd messaging campaign in the wake of his budget capitulation, and watching Elise Stefanik grapple with her scrapped promotion live. Digby then joins, as she, Sam, and Emma dive right into the genuine danger between the lines of absurdity in the Trump Administration’s Signal scandal, from the clear sign that they’re moving away from official (documented) channels to the executive role being played by psycho-White nationalist Stephen Miller. After expanding on the horrifying aesthetic role Donald Trump is playing in the administration, and the tightening of the inner circle in Trump 2.0, Parton reflects on the genuine shock over how quickly US institutions folded to the threat of fascism, from Columbia to corporations to major law firms, and tackles the deliberate nature of the Trump Administration’s agenda of economic chaos, before wrapping up by touching on the few remaining levers of power Democrats have to push back against fascism. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch as the Trump Cabinet take various unique paths to avoid any questions about the ongoing Signal Scandal, Marco Rubio unpacks exactly why due process doesn’t matter, and Josh Hawley goes insane over the right to disappear student activists. They also dive into some recent controversy on the left and why playing Dave Rubin’s games with you Dave Rubin’s prizes, and talk with Vitor from Framingham about political conversations with right-wingers, plus, your calls and IMs!

2463 - Protesting For Palestine Under Trump; Mega Marcha 2025 w/ Noah Kulwin, Domingo Garcia
It's Thursday! Emma welcomes Noah Kulwin to discuss the ongoing protests against Israel. First, Emma runs through updates on the Trump Administration’s designation of Mike Waltz as fall guy, Der Spiegel’s expose on Trump’s Cabinets’ security issues, GOP infighting, Kristi Noam’s fascist photo op, the disappearing of a Tufts student, Trump’s frozen funding freeze, the Trump Administration’s attack on public health, Trump’s tariffs, Musk’s political bribes, and Israel’s ongoing slaughter in Gaza, before watching Hegseth (with Trump’s “help”) try to clear his name in the Signal scandal. Noah Kulwin then joins, first touching on his experience taking part in the JVP protest at Trump Tower in New York over the Trump Administration’s disappearing of Columbia student activist Mahmoud Khalil, before diving deeper into the clear and thorough connection between the US’ support for fascism abroad and the descent into fascism at home, as we watch Israel resume its genocide on the Palestinian people while legal residents are picked up off the street by plain-clothes officers over pro-Palestinian speech – a Tufts student the most recent. Expanding on the global context for our current moment, Kulwin also touches on the particular role of the War on Terror in bolstering the rapid expansion of our surveillance state amid xenophobic, nationalist fervor. After expanding on the role of Jewish organizing in standing up to this fascist crackdown, Noah wraps up by emphasizing the need to Get Organized! what that means, and how to go about it at this moment. After briefly touching on the Mega Marcha, a demonstration against the Trump administration’s immigration policies, being held in Dallas this Saturday – which our planned second guest, Domingo García, chairman of the political arm of the League of United Latin American Citizens, helped organize – they wrap up the free half by highlighting Kristi Noam’s insane fascist photo-op outside of a migrant cell in El Salvador. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they watch Crowder and Co. breakdown over Mike Waltz giving the left an “easy own” by… accidentally leaking national security details to a journalist. They also talk with NotNick Fuentes from North Texas about the Atlantic’s connection to the right, Henry from NC has a pitch for the minimum wage, and the MR Crew dives deep into the insane backlash to Rachel Zegler speaking up for Palestine at this moment, from Ben Shapiro to the nepo-baby son of a mega-producer. Al from Mass also calls in about organizing, and James Comer – get this – has a problem with NPR, plus, your calls and IMs!

2462 - Tesla Takedown Protests; Whole Foods Union Fight w/ Mase Veney, Joel Lava
03/26/2025
2462 - Tesla Takedown Protests; Whole Foods Union Fight w/ Mase Veney, Joel Lava
It's Wednesday! Sam welcomes Joel Lava from Tesla Takedown and Mase Veney, an organizer from the Philly Whole Foods Union. First, Sam runs through updates on the Trump Administration’s Signal scandal over their accidental leaking of war plans, the Supreme Court’s affirmation of Biden’s ghost gun regulations, Pennsylvania’s special election, the HHS’s anti-vaxxer-headed study on autism, trickling details about the legal status of certain Venezuelans renditioned to El Salvador, Trump/Musk’s plan to lay off thousands from the Treasury, the Senate GOP’s budget, JD Vance’s visit to Greenland, SpaceX’s secret Chinese backers, and Trump’s nomination for Social Security head, before diving into some of the biggest updates to the Trump team’s Signal scandal with the full release of messages after Tusli Gabbard’s claim that there was “no classified” information in the chat. Joel Lava then joins, diving right into the idea behind the wildly successful “Tesla Takedown” protests in attempting to undercut the overwhelming political power by hitting at its root: his massive wealth tied up in Tesla stocks. After expanding on the greater anti-Trump roots of this, Lava and Sam unpack the protests' goals and how far the stock would have to fall to really screw over Elon’s business ventures, wrapping up with how you can join a protest near you – or even start your own! Mase Veney then dives into his personal history working at Whole Foods in Philadelphia, the initial bonding between coworkers over their shared experiences of mistreatment and the company’s exploitation of the power imbalance, and the rapid evolution of the organizing process once he and his coworkers realized the overwhelming support the idea of unionization already had, quickly moving to work with United Food & Commercial Workers International to capitalize on their institutional knowledge of organizing within the grocery industry. After expanding on the important role UFCW played in helping them win the union vote with a strong majority, Veney and Sam shift into the Trump era, as they unpack how the company’s refusal to recognize the union is bolstered by a neutered NLRB and a hostile Trump Administration, before wrapping up the interview by emphasizing the continuing campaign to keep the all coworkers invested in the fight, and how those of us outside can support the effort! And in the Fun Half: Sam watches MIke Walz try to sidestep questions about his Signal scandal from an incredulous Laura Ingraham, Senator Elizabeth Warren evicerates Trump’s Social Security nominee and their relationship to DOGE, and Donald Trump shouts out the real one Chuck Schumer. Lis from California shares his perspective as a DACA recipient, and Kowalski from Nebraska unpacks Trump's terrible tariffs. Sam also watches Tim Pool and Co. go insane at the morally consistent belief in due process for all, and jumps off some criticism from the Pod Save guys as he espouses the need to unite pro-democracy and economic populist messaging. Tammy from Montreal explores a major win for Canada’s indigenous communities, Nathan from Illinois talks organized religion and authoritarianism, and the MR Team dissects early results out of PA’s special election, plus, your calls and IMs!

2457 - Dems First Electoral Challenge & Schumer's Cratering Support w/ Ben Wikler & Ezra Levin
03/19/2025
2457 - Dems First Electoral Challenge & Schumer's Cratering Support w/ Ben Wikler & Ezra Levin
Ben Wikler, Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, joins to discuss the critical Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Then, Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible, examines the direction and leadership of the Democratic Party. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the shuttering of USAID, Russia-Ukraine ceasefire negotiations, Israel’s revamped assault on Gaza, the DOJ’s refusal to answer for its illegal deportations, Trump’s killing of FTC operations, the gutting of the SSA, the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil, Trump’s attempt to re-segregate, the Fed not to cut rates, the release of the JFK Files, GOP Sen. Eichorn’s confirmation of pedocon theory, and HHS’s gutting of HIV prevention, also highlighting Schumer’s ongoing shame tour and the ongoing backlash the GOP’s facing at their town halls. Ben Wikler then joins, diving right into the story of Wisconsin politics during the 2010s – and what it can foretell about this moment for our country – with a GOP trifecta coming into 2011 and using a supposed budget crisis to legitimize a complete crippling of the opposition as well as the progressive and worker movements, unleashing extensively gerrymandered maps, engaging in blatantly discriminatory voter suppression, and explicitly targeting language around progressive issues (e.g. banning the term “climate change”). After diving deep into the particular role the Conservative majority on the State Supreme Court played in bolstering the unparalleled executive power of Governor Scott Walker, and how a revamped focus on the Court helped begin the Democrats’ slow crawl back into control, Wikler zeroes in on the ongoing State Supreme Court race between Brad Schimel – dedicated MAGA-Musker – and Susan Crawford, exploring the insane multi-million dollar investment into Schimel by Elon Musk, including blatantly illegal propaganda misrepresenting both his own organization and the candidates, wrapping up by emphasizing the importance of tying the entire conservative movement to the MAGA/Musk agenda they support, and exploring what those of us on the outside can do to help. Ezra Levin then joins, first running through the inception of Indivisible in the wake of the 2016 elections to combat the heinous agenda of Donald Trump and address the vacuum in Democratic leadership, before diving deep into the culmination of this effort, with last week’s failure by Democratic Leadership in the Senate to stand up against the Trump/Musk budget seeing an unprecedented level of backlash, with their caucus, House Leadership, and the mainstream media all leveling blunt questions of Chuck Schumer. Levin, Sam, and Emma parse through a few of Schumer’s recent TV appearances, as they dissect his utter strategic failures in using leverage in their fight with the GOP or in working with fellow Democrats, before wrapping up by tackling the future of this fight as Democrats look to find other pathways for messaging, and what those of us at home can do to help Indivisible’s fight. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Chuck Schumer get slammed by Chris Hayes in the wake of his humiliating capitulation to Trump and the GOP, listen to Elon Musk’s plea to empathize with the automotive class, and unpack Tim Pool’s attempt to revamp his relevancy on the coattails of Sam’s Jubilee video. Tonya from Washington has some film comparisons for the modern-day conservative movement, and another caller has a thought experiment, plus, your calls and IMs!

2456 - Israel Breaks Ceasefire, Trump's Illicit Deportations ft. Austin Kocher
03/18/2025
2456 - Israel Breaks Ceasefire, Trump's Illicit Deportations ft. Austin Kocher
It’s News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma are joined by Austin Kocher, political and legal geographer studying immigration enforcement, and Assistant Research Professor at Syracuse University. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Israel’s bombardment of Gaza – breaking another ceasefire and killing hundreds – Trump’s back-and-forth with the judicial system, DOGE’s assault on the US Government, Trump’s union-busting pick for NLRB General Counsel, Trump’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian speech, the FDA’s move to delapidated office spaces, an abortion arrest out of Texas, and Trump’s attack on the Social Security Administration, before expanding on Israel’s violation of a ceasefire in Gaza with strikes killing over 300, and setting the stage for a potential return to ground invasion. Professor Austin Kocher then joins, diving right into the Trump Administration’s recent deportation of hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvadorian “gulags” under the guise of association with militant gang “Tren de Aragua,” exploring the unsurprising revelations about the *lack* of association between many of these migrants and the gang, and why authoritarian President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele was so happy to bring these migrants into his expansive prison labor system ($6 million will help). Next, Professor Kocher steps back to assess the insane legal “strategy” grounding Trump’s agenda, with his blantant push for chaos allowing for his regime to carry out astonishingly inhumane actions amid countless injuctions and court orders, and why Judge Boasberg’s push to get attourney’s to sign onto their arguments might create some liability moving forward. After expanding on the regime’s obvious misrepresentation of who they are deporting, Austin, Sam, and Emma walk through the various layers of protection offered to immigrants in the US right now, including preemptive legal action, and knowing your rights, before wrapping up the interview by assessing exactly how absurd Trump’s claim of an “invasion” truly is. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch White House Spox. Karoline Leavitt attempt to claim verbal court orders don’t count, reflect on Trump’s growing friction with the courts, and unpack Steve Bannon’s and Fox News’ respective attempts to defend Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act. Tim Walz and Chris Murphy begin to turn the tide of how Democrats are talking about the neoliberal era, Brady from Kentucky discusses a potential run for office, and a bunch of Big Tech fraudsters lie about the “failure” of Social Security, Phil from Delaware tackles SB-21, plus, your calls and IMs! Also joining the program is Austin Kocher; political and legal geographer studying immigration enforcement, Assistant Research Professor at Syracuse University.

2455 - Rubio's Lawless Deportations, Dems Blast Schumer
03/17/2025
2455 - Rubio's Lawless Deportations, Dems Blast Schumer
Happy Monday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, they run through updates on the White House’s refusal to oblige court orders halting its deportation planes, Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, Trump’s brutal deportations, NIH’s scrubbing of mRNA research grants, Trump’s bombardment of Yemen, Schumer’s book tour, dropping Democratic popularity, DOGE cuts to Los Alamos, Trump’s reversal of Biden pardons, the Voice of America, and the court-ordered rehiring of federal employees, before diving a little deeper into Senator Schumer’s capitulation to Trump and the GOP’s budget push. Next, they highlight the immediate result of Schumer and Senate Democrats’ affirmation of the Trump/Musk agenda, as the Trump regime spent this weekend expanding their regime of brutal abductions and inhumane migrant abuses, looking to the illegal flight of migrants to El Salvador (and the corresponding Twitter promos), and the recently released video by the ACLU of ICE's abduction of Mahmoud Khalil. They also dissect Schumer’s reflections on voting “yes” to advance the Elon/Trump GOP budget, exploring his willing adoption of the Trump Administration’s framing of the “Continuing Resolution,” his eagerness to let GOP Congresspeople shirk any responsibility for the Trump/Musk agenda, and the damage the vote has wrought on the Democratic Party itself – including the Party’s record-low approval rating and the growing divide between Senate leadership and the Party caucus. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Chris Murphy blatantly refuse to state his confidence in Chuck Schumer’s leadership and unpack Batya Ungar-Sargon’s insane argument for “MAGA Leftism” on Bill Maher. Pete Thiel and Dave Rubin mock HBCUs for being “dumb,” Mimi from Colorado has a PSA for ICE operations in Colorado and the importance of trusting librarians. Craig from LA explores the defense of Social Security in Congress, and Ben from Memphis on Kyle Rittenhouse’s speaking appearance at the University of Memphis. Chuck Edwards explains his alignment with Trump's imperial goals, and Perry from Lexington touches on the GOP’s major roadblock to trans healthcare in Kentucky with HB-495, plus, your calls and IMs!
