2521 - Trump Goes Full NeoCon & Massive Public Land Sell Off w/ Michael Carroll
It’s Emancipation Thursday. On today’s show we watch archival news footage covering the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and discuss the deterioration of that landmark legislation. Meanwhile, the Iran war drums beat louder. Trump does a 180 on his supposed “anti-war” position as the same old Military Industrial Complex arguments used for Iraq are recycled. We chat with Michael Carroll from the Wilderness Foundation about the proposed massive sell of public lands in the SENR Bill. For info on how to contact your Senator regarding this check out ICE arrests a Spanish language journalist in Atlanta for “being in the road”. In the Fun Half, Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton join us as we watch Tucker Carlson, doing his best William F. Buckley impression as he sasses the sleazy, feline Ted Cruz over American policy on Israel Continuing with the creeps, Charlie Kirk hosts a Young Women’s Leadership Summit where he chats with a 14 year old girl about going to college to find a husband.

2520 - Israel's West Bank Annexation; Trump's ICE Gestapo w/ Jasper Nathaniel, Brad Lander
Another busy day in the derailed circus train that is Trump's administration. On today's show, Tucker Carlson humiliates Ted Cruz into admitting that the US is involved in Israel’s war in Iran. Broken clock, etc. We talk to Jasper Nathanial about his piece for The Baffler titled “The Annexation of the West Bank is Complete”. Check his other work at ,com We are also joined by New York City Comptroller Brad Lander and discuss his detainment by ICE agents at an immigration court in Lower Manhattan. Here's a link to learn more about In the (not so) fun half, we check in with a cadre of psychos. Mark Levin screams about Trump's legacy as a peacemaker. Border Czar, Tom Holman goes on a psycho-sexual rant about AOC and her work with immigrants. Sean Hannity spews the Iraq playbook but for Iran. We also watch NYC Mayoral candidate, Zohran Momdani, deliver a powerful statement on his anti-semitism accusations and the racism he has encountered as a prominent Muslim figure.

2519 - Trump's Military Parade, Protests & Political Violence + Israel's Attack On Iran w/ Stephen Wertheim
06/16/2025
2519 - Trump's Military Parade, Protests & Political Violence + Israel's Attack On Iran w/ Stephen Wertheim
Veeeeery busy day for us at the Majority Report today, with a new front of Israel's military rampage opening up with Iran, Donald Trump holding what turned out to be a rinky dinky military parade, political assassinations in Minnesota, No Kings protests across the country, and AOC and Zohran holding a joint rally in NYC. We get to all of that today, plus a great interview with Stephen Wertheim from the American Statecraft Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace on Israel's provocations against Iran and how to parse out Trump's strategy (if we can even call it that). Follow Stephen on X here: In the Fun Half, AOC takes the stage to a huge crowd at her joint rally with Zohran Mamdani and points out that many of the establishment Dems who called for Cuomo's resignation as governor are now lining up behind his run for mayor. She says this is just one more reason why the country needs to turn the page on the gerontocracy currently at the helm of both major parties. Republican Senator Mike Lee irresponsibly tweets out that the Minnesota gunman who shot four people killing two of them, including a Democratic state lawmaker of being a Marxist, while his roommate says he was a regular listener of Alex Jones' Infowars who was a Trump supporter. Tim Pool weighs in to the new war Israel has launched against Iran and what Donald Trump's role might have been. But boy does it seem like he has stacked his panel with a bunch of people who will make points on his behalf so he can avoid going on the record during such a sensitive matter. Netanyahu on the other hand is trying to justify why he's provoked a war with Iran by telling Americans that he's doing it for our safety. CNN for it's part points out that Iran has targeted Mossad's HQ, which is right in the middle of a highly populated part of Tel Aviv. Does that sound familiar?

2518 - Trump Administration Thuggery & The Coopting of the Military w/ Jeet Heer
It's Casual Friday, and it is so casual that we have pre-taped today's show Thursday evening in order to attend Emma's wedding. Sam starts off by discussing the implications of Senator Alex Padilla being man-handled and handcuffed by federal agents while trying to ask DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. He gets further into that and Donald Trump's propensity to politicizing the military with The Nation's Jeet Heer. Check out Jeet's writing and podcasting here: After that, we take a look at Donald Trump's changing tune on immigration enforcement. Apparently famers and business owners in the "leisure industry" have managed to get Trump's ear, because he's suddenly concerned that rounding up and deporting vital workers in those industries is bad for business. Who'da thought?!?! Donald Trump is having a big bad birthday party on Saturday featuring tanks and planes and all sorts of military toys for the birthday boy, but he has an ominous warning for anyone planning to protest that day.

2517 - Trump's Showdown With SCOTUS And Protesters w/ Mark Joseph Stern
It's a Matt-jority top of the show today, with Sam joining a little later with an interview with Slate's Mark Joseph Stern about the goings on at the Supreme Court. The Trump administration is taking it's assault on democracy to the court, and there are several important cases we all need to be keeping an eye on. Check out Mark's reporting here: After that in the Fun Half, it's Matt, Brandon and Russ, and honestly Zohran might as well be here as well because we soak in a few of his hot clips from his appearance on the Breakfast Club. After that, Jim Cramer is stroking it to AI and Sam Altman and their dystopian and dishonest vision for the future. Yucky.

2516 - How Gaza Exposed The West’s Moral Rot; NYC’s Left-Wing Uprising w/ Omar El Akkad, Chi Ossé
It's an Emmajority Wednesday (I know, we're as confused as you are) and we have two great guests for you today. First, we cover Donald Trump's ominous threats to protesters who are upset about ICE raids in Los Angeles and around the country. After that, Emma talks to journalist and author Omar El Akkad about his new book "One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This" which reckons with the failure and refusal of the West to stop the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Get Omar's book here: And later we're joined by New York City Council member Chi Ossé about Zohran Mamdani's exciting political campaign, the left's momentum in America's biggest city and the how we can fight for affordable housing while protecting vulnerable communities. Follow him on social media, he's always putting out great stuff, and learn more about Zohran Mamdani's campaign and how you can get involved here: In the Fun Half, we check in on the ruptured bromance between Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Musk is trying to play cute but Trump doesn't seem like he wants to get back together at this point. The White House Press Secretary said they acknowledge Elon's recent statement but that's about it. Lol. Greta Thunberg has been released from Israeli detention, though two of her fellow activists from the flotilla, Thiago Avila and Rema Hassan have apparently been transferred to Israeli prisons where they are in solitary confinement. Greta tells reporters that the very least countries like hers can do now is advocate for an end to the genocide and to recognize Palestine as a state. We're glad she's safe, but Dave Portnoy certainly isn't. He joked about wanting to blow up her ship with a missile, though he's also gotten very touchy about jokes that target Jewish people, while he himself continues to make antisemitic jokes.

2515 - Marines Deployed to LA to Defend Trump's Immigration Crackdown
It's Newsday Tuesday™ with the MR crew and we'll be digging into the Trump administration's deployment of federal troops to Los Angeles amid protests over ICE raids there. Pete Hegseth tries to justify why federal troops are in LA during a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing by pushing falsehoods about both the situation on the ground, the state and local response and federal policies involving the deployment of troops. Meanwhile, National Guardsmen are sleeping on the floor in their uniforms because the hap-hazard nature of this whole operation. California's governor Gavin Newsom for his part says he's going to be suing the Trump administration over it's actions and points out that because of these deployments other important efforts like fire safety are being compromised. Donald Trump says that Greta Thunberg should take anger management classes after her peaceful humanitarian flotilla to Gaza was detained in international waters by the Israeli military. Russell Brand, who is looking more ridiculous with each passing day, mocks Greta and is seemingly upset that unlike him she actually acts based on her convictions. In the Fun Half, Chuck Todd talks to Steve Bannon, who is openly questioning whether Elon Musk ever should have had classified clearances that aren't even granted to weapons contractors like Boeing and Lockheed Martin. Scott Galloway also gets in on the beat down on Musk, though he sort of misses the key point which is that Musk (or any individual for that matter) should hold that much power. And we check in on Ezra Klein, who's taken to the pages of his local paper the New York Times to further make the case for the Abundance Agenda. We also take some calls from listeners. Tune in!

2514 - How The US Weaponized Global Economics w/ Eddie Fishman
It's Monday! At the top of the show we discuss the Trump administration's deployment of the national guard to LA amid protests over ICE raids there. After that, Sam and Emma welcome Eddie Fishman to discuss his book author Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare. Get your copy of his book here: In the Fun Half, the Israeli military has detained the 12 activists from the Gaza freedom flotilla and is forcing them to watch videos from October 7th for some reason. We hear part of an interview Abby Martin did with one of the Madleen's crew members Thiago Da Vila. In Tel Aviv, thousands turned out for a protest holding pictures of kids who have been killed in Gaza since October 7th. After that, White House Jack-of-all-trade Stephen Miller is now doing economic analysis of the Big Beautiful Bill.

2513 - Trump & Elon Musk's Big Beautiful Breakup w/ Heather 'Digby' Parton
It's Casual Friday my friends, and boy do we have a lot to celebrate. Elon Musk and Donald Trump are having an ugly public break up and we are here for it. Bit what does all this mean for Trump's Big Beautiful Bill? Heather "Digby" Parton is here to help us break it all down. Check out Digby's column at Salon: As well as her blog Digby's Hullabaloo: In the Fun Half, Republican Senator James Lankford says that that the Big Beautiful Bill will move millions of people from Medicare to employee-funded health care. Hmm, we weren't aware that this huge tax cut for rich people that guts the social safety net is also a job creator. It's a head scratcher. After that, Donald Trump seems to suggest that the Nazis are still in power in Germany. He tells the German chancellor that D-Day must be a bad day for Germany, because, you know, it was huge turning point in the defeat of Hitler's dictatorship. And a former denouncer of Andrew Cuomo who is also running against him in the NYC mayor's race has had a change of heart and is now endorsing him. Don't rank Jessica Ramos NYC folks! And James Carville has a strange bit of commentary on Jewish donors to political campaigns.

2512 - AOC Endorses Zohran; Neocons Disrupt Trump's Iran Talks w/ Trita Parsi
Happy Emmajority Report Thursday to all who celebrate! As if that wasn't enough, it's also AOC endorses Zohran Day, which comes the day after Zohran wipes the floor with Andrew Cuomo Day. We needed to bask in the glory at the top of the show and damn it felt good. After that, Emma talks to Trita Parsi, the executive vice president of the Quincy Institute. He’s also the author of four books on US foreign policy in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Iran and Israel and him and Emma go over the latest on the Gaza and U.S. - Iran negotiations. We're joined as always by Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton in the Fun Half, where we check in on the relationship between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Looks like it's on the rocks at the moment. Ro Khanna says it's an opportunity to ally with Musk (but he's wrong). The centrists have gathered for their answer to burning man, WelcomeFest, which featured a lot of discussion about the Abundance Agenda™ and wouldn't you know it, Josh Barro tells Richie Torres that when you look at the impediments to progress you usually find a labor union. Kind of illuminating for once to hear an Abundance Bro admit they are on the side of capital. We also take some calls. Tune in!

2511 - Palantir's Role in Government Surveillance & Activists Disrupting ICE w/ Makena Kelly & Roberto Camacho
It's an Sam Solo Wednesday, and we have the latest on the Big Beautiful Bill inching its way through Congress. Some of the cuts will impact federally-backed science institutions, including weather monitoring. Florida meteorologist John Morales tells his viewers on air that he doesn't think he'll be able to predict the paths of hurricanes this season as he has in previous years because of the defunding of vital monitoring institutions. Scary. After that we have two great guests. First, Sam speaks to Wired senior writer Makena Kelly about Doge and Elon Musk's lingering impact on the government, as well as Palantir and it's role in government surveillance. Check out her reporting here: After that Sam spoke to San Diego journalist Roberto Camacho to discuss his reporting in Bolts on a grass root organization dedicated to monitoring ICE and protecting immigrant communities. Check out his his piece here: Follow Roberto on social media here: Twitter/IG/Threads: @rob_camacho_sd Bluesky: @robcamachosd.bsky.social In the Fun Half™, Elon Musk is now publicly poo poo-ing the Big Beautiful Bill which he thinks is bloated. Takes one to know one bud. As Sam points out, maybe it has something to do with how the bill would effect his bottom line. Patrick Bet-David and crew however are defending Trump, and Musk's drug use. They're in a tough spot these days. Alex Jones is going out of his way to defend Palantir. Gee, I wonder why? And for his part, Richie Torres is defending the Abundance Agenda. Go figure.

2510 - Senate Rushes to Meet TACO Trump's Big Beautiful Bill Deadline
It's Newsday Tuesday™ folks. We've got the latest Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, as well as Chuck Schumer's efforts to fight it. Wait, no, Chuck Schumer seems instead focused on goading Trump into a war with Iran. Go figure. He also opposed the Obama nuclear deal when it was being negotiated back in 2015, despite that it was arguably the Democratic president's most important foreign policy achievement. The Anti Defamation League's Jonathan Greenblatt is once again going after Hasan Piker for criticizing Israel's genocide in Gaza. And Fox News is waging a war on Miss Rachel with a horrible song, saying that Mr. Rodgers would never opine on politics, despite that he very famously advocated for de-segregation and nuclear disarmament. In the Fun Half, Steven Miller is trashing Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society over some of their judge's rulings on immigration. The UAW puts out an anti-Cuomo ad that promotes their endorsement of Zohran Mamdani as well as progressive Brad Lander. And we also take in some more of Charlie Kirk humiliating himself at Cambridge University, where he was repeatedly dunked on by multiple college students.

2509 - The Dystopian Future Being Pushed by Right-Wing Tech Oligarchs w/ Adam Becker
Welcome to the week people. Republican leaders are still trying to jam major cuts to Medicare, food stamps and other vital programs down our throats in the form of the Big Beautiful Bill, some GOP members have had to face tough questions from their constituents about how those cuts will effect them. But after being called out last week for making cuts that will ultimately kill many of her constituents, Republican Senator Joni Earnst says that we'll all die one day. Now she's released a cynical non-apology in response to the controversy. After that, Science journalist and astrophysicist Adam Becker is here to discuss his new book More Everything Forever. Check it out here: As well as Adam's piece in the Guardian on the same subject: In the Fun Half, Elon Musk sits down for an interview with CBS News but only wants to talk about rocket ships and seems upset that he's being asked about the Trump administration. Hakeem Jeffries gives the most limp nothing of an answer when asked what he's planning to do in response to federal agents entering the offices of Congressman Jerry Nadler and cuffing one of his aids, which came weeks after federal agents arrested Democratic Congresswoman LaMonica McIver. And people in San Diego spontaneously protest ICE agents as they raid local establishments.

2508 - Trump's Fortunate Failures w/ David Dayen
We've made it to Casual Friday folks, so loosen that collar and tune in. First up, Trump is continuing to melt down after being confronted with the acronym T.A.C.O. (Trump Always Chickens Out) and insists that he's a big strong man who is doing the best trade negotiations the world has ever seen. Meanwhile, Commerce Secretary Scott Bessent admits that talks with China have stalled and that he's not really sure when they might restart. Then David Dayen from the American Prospect joins us to talk about Trump's failures and what they mean for trade and the global economy. Check out his work on the golden age of scams: And check out David's other pieces and podcasts at The American Prospect here: In the Fun Half, Karoline Leavitt has a real wackadoodle justification for the legality of Trump's tariffs. A hero on Martha's Vinyard has been following around ICE agents with a camera, hounding them with questions and justified hectoring. Zohran Mamdani has some positive polling numbers with less than a month left to go before the New York mayoral primary. And Charlie Kirk embarrasses himself at a at a Cambridge University debate about feminism. Also: The Bitchuation Room is doing a live podcast TONIGHT in Los Angeles.

2507 - How Covid Radicalized American Politics w/ Taylor Lorenz
Happy Emmajority Report Thursday to all who celebrate. Trump's tariffs are halted by a court ruling, and he is is big mad about that and the new term TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) that's been ascribed to his tariffs by a Financial Times columnist. After that, Taylor Lorenz is with us to talk about the persistent political impact of the COVID pandemic and the government's response to it. Check out her video we play a part of (and the rest of her YouTube page for that matter) here: In the Fun Half, we are joined by Thursday regulars Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton to try to decipher Eric Adams' comparison of Betsy Ross to Bitcoin. It's a head scratcher. A new poll shows the Abundance Agenda is not as popular as public policy that would fight corruption and get money out of politics. Pretty f-ing granular!

Also, contact Mass Memorial directly to tell them you support UFCW's members: And / or send them some love on their FB page: And tell the local paper in Worcester to cover this story: In the Fun Half, Piers Morgan finally uses the G word when describing what's happening in Gaza. Republicans are getting an assist of sorts from Senate Democrats to push through Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, though Schumer and co. certainly don't want you to see it that way. Here's David Dayen's reporting on how Senate Dems could do something to stop it should they want to: And finally, theoretical physicist Sean Carroll absolutely mops the floor with Eric Weinstein's physics musings.

2503 - Has Israel Already Lost?; Trump’s South Africa Obsession w/ David Hearst, Benjamin Fogel
It's a jam-packed Emma-jority Thursday folks. House Republicans have jammed through an abominable budget bill that will gut Medicaid and lots of other vital programs. But guess what? There's more money for the military and for border enforcement, and most importantly, a huge tax cut for the wealthy. We have two great guests today, first Emma will talk to the co-founder and editor in chief of Middle East Eye David Hearst about the worsening situation in Gaza and the diplomatic hole Israel has dug itself into. Check out his piece "Israel has already lost the Gaza war. It just doesn't know it yet" After that, Emma is joined by South African journalist and contributing editor at Jacobin Benjamin Fogel about the absolutely bonkers meeting yesterday between Donald Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. In the Fun Half, Harry Enten has the numbers that show Elon Musk's rating is in the toilet, and so so is his company Tesla.

2502 - UnitedHealth's Greed; Nurses On Strike w/ George Joseph, Singrid Steinmetz
It's hump day and as it so happens technical hiccup day. But don't worry, we got some scotch tape and paperclips and have McGyvered this thing for now. Republicans in Congress are doing what they can to push their massive tax cut through reconciliation, and you'll never get who's gonna benefit from that (it's rich people). To make it happen, Republicans are now trying to sneak in cuts to Medicare. We talk first to Singrid Steinmetz, an ICU nurse and a member of the California Nurses Association, which represents nearly 2,200 at Long Beach Medical Center who will be striking tomorrow. Here's the contact info for LBMC in case you want to tell management there to support it's nurses: After that, we hear from The Guardian U.S. investigative reporter George Joseph about his stunning new piece out today about how United Health Care has secretly paid nursing homes that helped it gain Medicare enrollees and reduced hospitalizations: In the Fun Half, Emma, Sam and Matt respond to Skelator look-alike Rick Scott trying to make the case for making cuts to Medicaid by arguing that if you want health care in America you should have to work for it. Steve Scalise is singing the same tune. Bernie went on Andrew Schulz's show and managed to get him and his bros to acknowledge the problem of inequality and the absurdity of being the only industrialized country in the world without guaranteed health care. Also, Andrew Cuomo talks to Bari Weiss about what's ailing Democratic-run cities and states (hint, he blames the left) and he seems to be pushing an Abundance™ style agenda.

2501 - Trump Tries to Ram Though His 'Big Beautiful Bill'
It's Newsday Tuesday™ and Trump is on Capitol Hill trying to push his Big Beautiful Bill today. Sam and Emma will dig into what's in it and why. Suffice to say, when the dust settles, poor and working class people are sure to get the short end of the stick. Also, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem apparently has no idea what Habeas Corpus is, how it works or how it's invoked. In the Fun Half, we bask in the glow of Columbia University's president getting boo'ed and heckled during a graduation ceremony. John Stewart points out how Jake Tapper sat on some really important information about Joe Biden's mental acuity and the workings of his administration in order to sell it after the fact as a book. And finally, Sam has some more thoughts on Ezra Klein and the Abundance Agenda.

Netanyahu says that he's going to allow in some food aid, but it seems to be mostly a fig leaf to shield Israel from widening criticism over the starving children and looming famine in Gaza as the IDF begins it's new, horrifying phase of their genocidal campaign. Senator Chris Van Hollen is one of a very short list of U.S. lawmakers willing to call it out. After that, Sam and Emma talk to historian Quinn Slobodian about his new book "Hayek's Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ and the Capitalism of the Far Right." Check it out here: And check out Quinn's previous books as well: Crackup Capitalism: Market Civilizations: Neoliberals East and South: In the Fun Half, Jim Clyburn (D-SC) thinks that he STILL thinks that Biden could have served out a second term as president, which he said just hours before Biden's cancer diagnosis was made public. A remarkable position, though perhaps a defensive one for an 84 year old who's still serving in Congress. After that, Sam breaks the news that a court has effectively ended the pause on the Trump administration's move to end temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan immigrants. George Washington University's student graduation speaker Cecilia Culver is brave enough to say she's ashamed that her tuition money is going to funding the genocide in Gaza, despite what similar graduation speakers have faced after making similar statements during graduation speeches. Actor Zach Woods shares a satirical take on NYU withholding the diploma of their graduation speaker after he denounced his university's complicity in Israel's war crimes. Tim Pool doesn't think non-citizens should have free speech while they're in the United States, and he goes to great logical lengths to justify that position. And finally, Sam, Emma and Matt are joined by Majority Report Chief Middle School Correspondent for the latest on what 12-year-olds are up to these days.

2499 - Trump's Birthright Citizenship Run-Around w/ Jeet Heer
We've made it to casual Friday folks! The Supreme Court had a field day yesterday with the Trump administration's attorney over their executive order to revoke birthright citizenship. Several of the justices, including conservatives, seemed to reject the argument that circuit court injunctions should only apply to the specific case in question. After that, the Nation's Jeet Heer is here to break down all the week's highlights (and lowlights), including Trump's trip to the Middle East, the GOP spending bill and the Democratic Party's lack of willingness to address concerns over Biden's age when it counted. Check out Jeet's writing at The Nation: And his podcast The Time of Monsters: In the Fun Half, Sam and Emma go deeper into the Supreme Court case on birthright citizenship, mainly a question Bret Kavanaugh asked about how such a policy would even be implemented. Would expecting mothers have to pass a customs checkpoint to enter the maternity ward? Or maybe all maternity wards would have to be inside of detention centers so the government can adjudicate each baby's immigration status after they're born. Kid Rock says that liberal women are ugly. Ok dude. And towards the end of the show, Sam, Emma Kuwalski from Nebraska and a few other listeners do a bit of a post-mortem on Sam's conversation with Ezra Klein.

2498 - Latin America’s Hidden History; The AI Job Crisis Arrives w/ Greg Grandin, Brian Merchant
It's an Emma-jority Thursday and we got a great show for you. Emma talks to Historian and Author Greg Grandin about his new book America, América: A New History of the New World. After that, writer Brian Merchant discusses his reporting on AI and it's encroachment on human jobs on his blog Blood in the Machine: After that we'll have Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton on, as is Thursday tradition. NYU Gallitan student Logan Rozos bravely recognized the Gaza genocide during his graduation speech, which has prompted the school to now withhold his diploma. Joe Rogan defends X's decision to allow Ye to post his new blatantly antisemitic single, and Kristi Noem runs interference in Congress for Trump's child-like interpretation of a clearly photoshopped image of Kilmar Abrego Garcia's tattoos.
