The Majority Report with Sam Seder

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma break down some of the biggest headlines of another crazy week, and will maybe take some calls! First, they run through updates on Harris’ gains in the polls, Netanyahu’s complaints about Harris’ “shift in rhetoric” on Gaza, more domestic dissent over support for Israel, Trump’s scramble, the Supreme Court, Gavin Newsome’s war on the homeless, dropping homicide rates, starvation in Sudan, the cop that killed Sonya Massey, Elon Musk, and Biden’s new nomination to the US Postal Service Board, before diving deeper into Harris’ response to Netanyahu’s Congressional address, and the Biden Administration’s continued genocide denial. They also watch as Dem Donors run to mainstream media to ask for Harris to please please pleeeaaaase replace Lina Khan, before talking with Rin from Tennessee about Harris’ foreign policy bona fides and pushing her candidacy/presidency to the left. Nick from Ohio also discusses Harris’ social media campaign and her connection with young voters. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma unpack the trickle of news about Kamala Harris’ VP pick, watch as the GOP’s struggle to discuss Kamala Harris continues, and admire JD Vance’s daring fusion of insane takes with an utter dearth of charisma. Matt from North Carolina discusses Judaism, Zionism and Joe Biden, Donald Trump Jr. tries to make life with JD Vance a little more exciting, and Giancarlo calls in to chat about pressuring Kamala Harris. Donald Trump denies knowledge about this Project 2025 he keeps talking about, and Sam and Emma have an expansive conversation around voting and Kamala Harris’ candidacy, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Zachary Foster, historian of Palestine and proprietor of the website Palestine Nexus, to discuss Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's address to a joint session of Congress yesterday. First, Emma runs through updates on Biden’s passing of the torch, the mass crackdown on pro-Palestine protesters in DC yesterday, Netanyahu’s joint congressional address, falling inflation rates, labor action, Trump’s assassin, Trump’s bigotry, the destruction in the wake of southeast Asia’s Super Typhoon, and early polling on Harris, before giving a quick cheat sheet for Harris’ VP picks, and the insane “family-first” policy that JD Vance and his tech bro funders have backed in the past. Zachary Foster then joins, as he and Emma jump right into the complete shame of yesterday’s joint Congressional address by Netanyahu, before touching on some of the biggest updates on Israel’s continuing genocide of Gaza from the last few weeks as it has been pushed to the side in the news cycle. After an expansive conversation on Netanyahu’s commitment to this offensive, and the devastating impact it is having on the country’s economy and workforce, Foster explores the ongoing attempt to create a unity government between Fatah and Hamas. Zachary also gives a background on Israel’s manufactured conflict with Iran, wrapping up the interview by parsing through the highlights (or lowlights, really) from Netanyahu’s Congressional address, and his love for manipulating real issues for the Zionist cause. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder, as they parse through the different stances on Israel between Obama, Biden, and Harris, unpack the whiplash in the shift from Biden’s dropout to Netanyahu’s joint congressional address and Harris’ denouncement of protesters, and parse through the right wing’s struggle to stay away from weird and obviously-misogynistic critiques of Kamala Harris. They also expand on Netanyahu’s visit to Congress and photo op with Biden, and watch Peter Thiel show why he’s better as a shadowy oligarch (less public speaking), plus, your IMs!

It’s Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with Jennifer Berkshire, freelance journalist and co-host of the Have You Heard podcast, to discuss her recent book The Education Wars: A Citizen's Guide And Defense Manual, co-authored with Jack Schneider. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the dissent to Netanyahu’s congressional address, the Harris campaign, the GOP’s bigotry problem, climate change, Joe Biden, union dissent to US support for Israel, Elon Musk’s supposed multi-hundred dollar pledge to Trump, Bob Menendez, major FTC action, and the Chevron Doctrine, before examining the subtle and stark differences between Biden’s and Harris’ policy toward Gaza and Israel. Jennifer Berkshire then joins, diving right into the major gap in the Democratic Party’s education policy over the last few years, with no major legislative or agenda items to speak of, while the GOP maintains its steady fight against teachers, people of color, and queer people under the guise of “parents’ rights.” Stepping back, Berkshire walks Sam and Emma through the last few decades of US public education policy, with Obama picking up on Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” disaster to start the 21st Century, and expanding on the neoliberal education model that emphasized testing outcomes and teacher reports, tackling how this era of bipartisan consensus was defined by a focus on the institution’s “return on investment” rather than its role in building citizens and community. Expanding on this, Berkshire explores how the GOP’s shift under Trump saw a disintegration of this consensus, with the Right pushing instead to redefine public education as something that did not require public schooling, working to fully dismantle the physical institutions but using the funds to pick up the tab on private education. After unpacking the philosophy behind this GOP shift, and the complete dearth of a response from the Democratic Party, Jennifer, Sam, and Emma tackle the particular failure of voucher programs and charter schooling, and wrap up the interview by exploring the incredible organizing going on to save public schooling, why pro-public schools is a winning electoral stance, and what to look for from Kamala Harris’ candidacy. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Rep. Ramirez denounce Netanyahu’s impending congressional address, Palestinian journalist Rula Jebreal’s notes for Kamala Harris’ campaign, and Physician Mark Perlmutter’s harrowing reflections on his time caring for civilians in Gaza. A Squared expands the conversation on Harris’ campaign, Dave Rubin, Brett Weinstein, and Tim Pool compete for dumbest commentary on Biden’s dropout, and the GOP begins to regret Trump’s pick of JD Vance for Vice President. The MR Team reflects on the deep divide in reactions to Netanyahu’s congressional address, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with Elizabeth Pancotti, director of special initiatives at Roosevelt Forward and contributor the Fireside Stacks newsletter on SubStack, to discuss the Kamala Harris's potential economic policy as a presidential candidate. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the Secret Service post-assassination attempt, Harris’ nomination, Netanyahu’s upcoming congressional address, Israel’s offensive on Gaza, Palestinian unity, US policy towards Sudan, labor action, environmental news, and video footage of another brutal police murder, before unpacking the GOP’s attempt to spin Harris’ nomination as a “DEI Hire” and her as a welfare queen. Elizabeth Pancotti then joins, diving right into her take on Biden’s successful domestic record as president, and what Kamala Harris can do to present a vision that picks up on that momentum. Expanding on this, Pancotti walks Sam and Emma through some of the major pieces of Harris’ agenda, presenting progressive policies and ideas for making the wealthy (and corporations) pay their fair share, an earned income tax credit that expands on the now-expired Child Tax Credit, major pro-family policy, housing infrastructure, labor relations, and anti-trust. They also expand on her record in politics, what to make of her potential administration choices, and wrap up with her stance on Medicare for All and the public option. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma show off the winners of our “Vergogna” contest, listen to JD Vance perfectly exemplify what he’s lacking as a VP (charisma, relatability, sense of humor, etc), and unpack some of Kamala Harris’ VP choices, highlighting Rep. Beshear’s comments on Vance in particular. Elon Musk walks Jordan Peterson through exactly how horrible of a father he is, and the MR Crew watches Crowder, Tim Pool, and Ben Shapiro struggle to come to terms with a Kamala Harris candidacy, plus, your calls and IMs!

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Dave Weigel, author of the "Americana" newsletter at Semafor, to discuss the groundbreaking news from yesterday that President Biden will be dropping out of the presidential race, and endorsing Vice President Harris. First Sam and Emma run through updates on Biden’s candidacy, Trump’s nomination, Harris’ rapid fundraising efforts and endorsements, the Trump assassination attempt, Netanyahu’s upcoming address to Congress, Israel’s offensive on Yemen, and the NLRB, before diving into the supposed plan for an “open convention” come the DNC, watching Kamala Harris’ first speech since this weekend’s news, and unpacking some of Harris’ major pitfalls. Dave Weigel then joins, as he looks to the GOP side of things, walking Sam and Emma through the last few weeks of Republican whiplash, from the post-debate euphoria from Biden’s failure, through the supposed electoral boost that was the assassination attempt, and to the seeming state of panic around Biden’s dropout and the fact they now have to pivot to Harris. After expanding on the surprisingly minimal impact of the Trump assassination on the race, Dave explores what a Kamala Harris nomination could do to change the narrative of the Democrats’ gerontocracy, what to expect from the convention come August, and how to make sense of the small-D democracy of it all. Weigel, Sam, and Emma also discuss reactions from the press and major media players, how Biden’s move will shape down-ballot elections going forward, and why most of the GOP talking points against Harris are winning issues for Democrats. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch the conservative establishment from Fox News to Donald Trump to Elon Musk all come together to scream “coup” and “fraud” over Biden’s decision to step down, despite their supposed opinion on his senility. Morning Joe unpacks the turn in the Biden campaign’s approach to dropping out, another Dave Rubin prediction comes back to haunt him, and figures from the UAW to the VP reject Netanyahu’s upcoming address to Congress, plus, your calls and IMs!

It’s Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Jeet Heer, national affairs correspondent for The Nation, to round up yet another crazy week in news. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the FLOP that was Night 3 of the RNC, Biden’s candidacy, the ICJ’s stunning advisory opinion on Israel, spreading Polio in Gaza, presidential polling, Delta unions, the DNC, Biden’s student debt plans, Israel’s offensives, the major Windows outage, and the UK’s crackdown on peaceful protest, before highlighting the speech that easily won the most emotional reaction from Donald Trump throughout the entire RNC, Hulk Hogan’s. Jeet Heer then dives right into the wild Newsweek that saw a literal presidential assassination get somewhat overshadowed, first unpacking the RNC’s focus on the celebration of one man (Donald Trump), before shifting to Trump’s VP pick of J.D. Vance, and his backing of the biggest threats to democracy in Big Tech’s billionaires. Heer, Sam, and Emma then walk through the myriad major developments in Biden’s 2024 candidacy that occurred this week, and have an extensive conversation on Biden’s evident resentment of the establishment and the role of AOC and progressives in backing him, before wrapping up the interview by assessing the Kamala Harris of it all, from her likelihood to win the Presidency to the possibility of her losing the nomination. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma unpack Trump’s cold shoulder to Tiffany, with a stark side-by-side with his passionate kiss blown to Hulk Hogan, cringe in the power of Van Jones’ nonstop lauding of the GOP’s momentum, and ponder the dangers of an open convention (and AOC’s recent IG Story session) with Chris from Philly. Kowalski from Nebraska talks coconuts and agriculture, Speaker Mike Johnson struggles to define the GOP position on abortion, Piers Morgan can’t figure out whether making a Hitler comparison is more of a call to violence than LITERAL calls for violence, and Javi from Miami calls in to discuss the state and future of the Democratic party, plus, your calls and IMs!

It’s an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Margaret Power, professor of history at the Illinois Institute of Technology, to discuss her recent book Solidarity across the Americas: The Puerto Rican Nationalist Party and Anti-imperialism. Then, she's joined by journalist Erin Reed, author of the Erin In The Morning newsletter on SubStack, to discuss how speakers at the RNC have been employing transphobic rhetoric. First, Sam runs through updates on Day 2 of the RNC, Biden’s candidacy, Biden’s recent policy developments, the would-be Trump assassin, Bob Menendez’s legal woes, Trump’s campaign, Elon and X, Israel’s assault on Gaza, and Russia’s assault on Kyiv, before diving a little deeper into the confounding behavior of the Democratic party as Biden’s candidacy hangs in the balance and Trump’s campaign makes major moves. Sarah Jones then joins, diving right into the rise of JD Vance with his 2016 work “Hillbilly Elegy,” a book that made sense of the severe wealth inequality found in middle America by pathologizing poverty, faulting cultural issues, and ignoring the actual economics of it all, perfectly repackaging age-old conservative values as revelatory. After briefly walking through why this book took off so much among Liberals and Conservatives alike, Jones walks Sam through Vance’s journey from summering in Appalachia to Yale Law School student and Venture Capitalist (with major help from Peter Thiel along the way), exploring how these elements shaped his reactionary illiberal ideology and facilitated his unsurprising evolution from Never-Trumper to Trump’s VP pick. Sarah and Sam then expand on the financial and ideological connections between Thiel and Vance, highlighting some telling comments on the roles of Democracy and “women,” before wrapping up the show with what his selection tells us about Donald Trump’s second term. And in the Fun Half: Sam basks in the glory of the everybody’s-a-loser beef between Matt Gaetz and Kevin McCarthy, Josh from Arizona tackles the future of the Democratic Party (and its base), and Haley from Arizona airs some grievances and asks advice from her elders. Morning Joe addresses their one-day cancellation in the wake of the Trump assassination attempt, Jack Black addresses the cancellation of comedy, and Ronald Raygun addresses presidential immunity and the plan for Biden, plus, your calls and IMs!

It’s Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with Sarah Jones, senior writer for New York Magazine's Intelligencer, to discuss former President Trump selecting Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his running mate. First, Sam runs through updates on Day 2 of the RNC, Biden’s candidacy, Biden’s recent policy developments, the would-be Trump assassin, Bob Menendez’s legal woes, Trump’s campaign, Elon and X, Israel’s assault on Gaza, and Russia’s assault on Kyiv, before diving a little deeper into the confounding behavior of the Democratic party as Biden’s candidacy hangs in the balance and Trump’s campaign makes major moves.

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, they run through updates on Day 1 of the RNC, Trump’s VP pick, Elon’s $45m/month pledge to Trump, the background of Trump’s would-be assassin, Trump’s legal woes, Biden’s sinking polling, the US economy, immigration and the border, and RFK and Cornel West’s ballot access, also parsing through Trump’s pick of JD Vance as his VP, why it’s a financial (rather than electoral) choice, and what to make of Vance’s unsurprising 180º on Trump since 2016. Next, they shift focus back to the RNC as the GOP puts the assassination attempt (but notably not the victims) at the forefront of the conference and watch the Teamsters’ Sean O’Brien immediately lose his audience as he shifts from the “both sides” lauding of GOP Representatives to discussing actual working-class issues. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Shawn Fain show why he’s the better union-Shawn with a call to action for May Day 2028, react to the breaking news of Bob Menendez’ guilty charge(s), and Sam unpacks his feelings on the increasingly-obvious right-wing rat-fuck campaign of RFK Jr. as a call between him and Trump leaks. GOP Leadership has a tough Johnson showing from both Mike and Ron, and the MR Team tackles Biden’s recent interview with Lester Holt and the increasingly frustrating future of his candidacy, plus, your calls and IMs!

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines from an eventful weekend. First, they run through updates on the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Trump’s stolen documents case, Israel’s continuing slaughter of Gaza in the face of supposed ceasefire negotiations, Trump’s polling, the RNC, Biden’s candidacy, Giuliani’s legal (and now financial) woes, Houston’s devastating (and ongoing) power outage, and the DOJ vs. RealPage, before beginning their deep dive into the stunning security failures that led the Trump assassination attempt, parsing through multiple videos and first-hand accounts that demonstrate awareness of the shooter by both citizens and security officials in the leadup to the first shots. Continuing with the coverage, Sam and Emma walk through the developing background information on the shooter, the history of presidential assassination attempts and their various motives, and the evolving narrative around the shooting, with accusations against Biden, arguments for unity, and good ol’ fashioned DEI-dog whistling all coming from just the GOP. Next, they look to the news cycle of yesteryear as they tackle the growing resignation amid the Democratic establishment over the losing battle that is Biden’s candidacy, Biden’s (likely empty) promises of a progressive second term, and what we can make of the influence of progressives like Bernie and AOC amid this mess. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma parse through the story around another major military resignation, this time by Mohammed Abu Hashem of the US Air Force, over the continuing slaughter in Gaza, before diving into the recent response by RFK Jr. to the exposé about him in Vanity Fair – and his telling refusal to deny the sexual assault allegations. The MR Team also unpacks the future of the US electoral system and outsider parties, expands on the US support for Israel with Brandon from Rochester, and speaks with a few longtime callers, including A Squared, about the comparative horror of this moment in recent US history, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Ryan Grim, reporter at the newly founded venture Drop Site News and co-host of Counter Points, to talk about Drop Site and break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the NATO conference, Biden’s candidacy, Netanyahu’s ceasefire sabotage, Biden’s EV subsidies, the EU v. X, AT&T’s data breach, the devastating heat waves across the US, Texas’ senate race, IRA funds, and VT floods, before watching Biden respond to questions about Kamala Harris’ theoretical candidacy with more poll-denial. Ryan Grim then joins, first giving a preview of Drop Site News’ debut projects, diving into their recent reporting on Neil Barofsky – the US government’s monitor for the UAW in the wake of the corruption scandals that led to the rank-and-file election of Shawn Fain – and his recent string of demands to the UAW over their support for a ceasefire in Gaza, demands (and an issue) well outside of his purview. Next, Grim, Sam, and Emma look to the topic dominating the 24-hour media cycle in the US: Biden’s candidacy. Ryan provides his insight into the squad’s apparent choice to stand by Joe Biden even as the Democratic Establishment increasingly calls for him to step aside, and how it works to undermine the constant complaint of their “disloyalty” to the party, before diving deep into his take on the future of the Democratic nominee for President and what vaguely democratic options to replace Biden remain. Wrapping up, Grim tackles his amicable departure from the Intercept, and the future of Drop Site News. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma unpack the tension in the studio in the wake of Emma’s controversial appearance on Tim Heidecker’s Office Hours Live, Donald Trump Jr. and Jesse Watters launch the pro-Biden offensive as his nomination comes into question, and AOC officially files articles of impeachment for Justices Thomas and Alito. Bernie Moreno traps himself in another lie, and PBD and the “whatever” pod fall for the classic mistake of “having a nazi on the Podcast,” plus, your calls and IMs!

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Dr. Genevieve Guenther, founding director of the organization End Climate Silence, affiliate faculty at the Tishman Environment & Design Center at the New School, to discuss her recent book The Language of Climate Politics: Fossil-Fuel Propaganda and How to Fight It. Then, she speaks with blogger Ettingermentum of the "Ettingermentum Newsletter" on SubStack, to discuss what comes next for Biden, the Democratic Party, and the presidential ticket. First, Emma runs through updates on the US economy, Biden’s candidacy, Israel’s continuing devastation of Gaza (amid supposed ceasefire talks), US foreign military aid, SCOTUS corruption, Project 2025, the anti-abortion GOP, and Texas’ environmental disaster, before diving deeper into developing reports of Israel’s (and Benjamin Netanyahu’s) active and months-long sabotage of supposed peace negotiations between Israel and Hamas. Dr. Genevieve Guenther then joins, first tackling the development of a new type of climate denial – one that embraces climate change as a concept, but rejects any urgency or action to restructure our economies as alarmist and unrealistic – and touching on the major role financiers play in keeping the fossil fuel industry alive. Diving deeper into the lies of this form of climate denial, Dr. Guether walks Emma through some highlights of this failing attitude, with supposed technological advancements like bioenergy and carbon capture further contributing to the destruction of our atmosphere. Wrapping up, Genevieve and Emma explore the demobilizing impact of this mainstream climate denial, an issue exacerbated by neoliberalism’s hollowing out of the institutions and structures of political advocacy and activism, and what we can do to activate around this issue. Ettingermentum joins, taking a moment to contextualize his thinking on the electoral popularity of Biden and both the Democratic and Republican parties writ large, allowing him to more accurately predict the results of the 2022 elections than the typical economic fundamentals model. He and Emma then dive into the trenches of the ongoing fiasco of Biden’s candidacy, the questions of its viability and whether or not it will even continue, what to make of the various (and generally absurd) arguments against replacing him, and the theoretical candidacy of Kamala Harris, before wrapping up with a greater assessment of polling and how to understand it. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they unpack the developing drama around Biden’s candidacy, including George Clooney’s recent OpEd (and the Biden team’s telling response), the absurd and tokenizing arguments behind keeping him in the race, and the argument behind a Harris candidacy (ft. Rep. Adam Smith). They also talk with Marcos from Baytown and Aaron from Houston about the harrowing conditions of Texas’ heatwave power outage and the utter failure of the Texas conservative establishment, plus, your calls and IMs!

It’s Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with political commentator Owen Jones to discuss the outcomes of the recent UK elections. First, they run through updates on the increasing problem for Democrats that is Biden’s white-knuckled-hold on his candidacy, Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the corruption of Clarence Thomas, environmental emergency in the US, NATO’s summit, the FTC, and the US’ green transition, before touching on Nancy Pelosi’s telling take on Biden’s future. Owen Jones then joins, first contextualizing the (predictable) implosion of the Tories in the UK’s recent elections within the long string of constant Conservative controversy (be it policy or personal) that has defined the British Prime Ministership during the post-Brexit Tory reign, before expanding on the expectations for this year’s elections, with Labour’s political strategy winning them a landslide majority despite just under 34% of the vote, a result somewhat overshadowed by the major success of Left alternatives (like the Green Party) and independents (like Jeremy Corbyn), as well as the takeoff of Nigel Farage of the hardline right Reform UK. Next, Jones steps back and parses through the role that the UK’s first-past-the-post election system played in bolstering Labour’s electoral win, and why the success of independent challengers is such an astonishing result, before expanding on the tension between Labour and the British left following the anti-Corbynist purge, as well as the role incoming PM Keir Starmer plays within that context. After unpacking the future of a ruling coalition in the UK, they wrap up the interview by unpacking the major disappointment of Brexit and the precarious nature of liberals’ desire to return to “normalcy.” And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma discuss the Biden-Kamala ticket, unpack some hot takes from the media elite on Biden’s candidacy, with additional (and somewhat less illuminating) commentary from Dave Rubin and Dennis Prager. The MR team also discusses the RNC’s ongoing attempt to moderate Trump, Josh from Chicago and TLW from Pakistan touch on the British elections, Matt Miller tries to get the Biden Administration back on track (spreading lies about Gaza), and Bryce from Alabama on the immediate future of Biden’s presidency, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with Trita Parsi, executive vice president at the Quincy Institute, to discuss the recent results of the Iranian elections. Then, they speak with Daniel Nichanian, editor-in-chief of Bolts Magazine, to discuss the surprising results of the 2nd round of French elections that took place this past weekend. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Biden’s tenuous candidacy, Miriam Edelson’s $70m for Trump, NATO, major Russian war crimes, the prosecution of Sen. Menendez, deadly heat across the US, the resignation of a Trump-appointed judge in Alaska, and recreational marijuana law in a certain Matt Lech’s home state of North Dakota, before parsing through the complex role congressional progressives like the Squad have been playing in the debate on Biden’s candidacy. Trita Parsi then joins, diving right into the recent election of Masoud Pezeshkian, the context for this snap election (the death of Ebrahim Raisi), and Pezeshkian’s image coming in as a somewhat uninspiring reformist candidate, touching on the meager turnout for the first round of elections before unpacking the central role that that the threat of his ultra-hardline conservative opponent played in pulling out the necessary participation for a second round victory. Next, Parsi walks Sam and Emma through what made Pezeshkian’s candidacy so “reformist,” particularly as a much less anti-establishment candidate that Iranian reformists have put forward in the past, including his loyalty to the Iranian political system, and his primary agenda of creating a direct dialogue with the West. After outlining the structure of the Iranian regime, the role the President plays within it, and what the “reformist” agenda for the future of the system entails, Trita, Sam, and Emma wrap up the interview by unpacking the Biden Administration’s fear of the JCPOA (Iranian Nuclear Deal), Bibi Netanyahu’s role in undermining any return of the deal, and the return of Neocon logic in US foreign policy. Daniel Nichanian then joins, examining the context for France’s recent snap elections, the rapid turnaround in Macron’s plan, and the role parliament plays in France’s political structure. Expanding on this, Nichanian explores the political strategy employed by the French left, successfully putting their differences to the side with the looming threat of the far right and pulling out an astonishing victory, and what the lack of a true majority means for the future of French governance over the next few months, wrapping up with the tension between the platforms of the left-wing and Emmanuel Macron’s coalition. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma dive deep into their takes on the ongoing fiasco that is Biden’s presidential candidacy, from the recent meeting among Dem Senate and House members to the unruly press that keeps asking Karine Jean-Pierre questions about Joe Biden (for some reason). They also dive into the recently released RNC platform and Donald Trump’s commitment to lying for the Lord, before talking with Brian from New Mexico and Christian from Pennsylvania about their problems with the debate around Joe Biden’s candidacy. The MR Team basks in the schadenfreude of GOP candidate Hovde and Democratic Rep. Torres’ recent embarrassments, plus, your calls and IMs!

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Brad Onishi, writer, co-host of the Straight White American Jesus podcast, and founder of Axis Mundi Media, to discuss his recent book Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism – And What Comes Next. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Biden’s tight grasp on his candidacy, major defeats for the right wing in the UK and France, Iran’s presidential election, the Lancet report on Gaza’s 180k+ death toll, ceasefire negotiations, Project 2025, anti-administrative attacks on trans care, Boeing’s plea deal, and the passing of Jane McAlevey, before diving a little deeper into the ongoing conversation about the future of Biden’s candidacy. Brad Onishi then joins, diving right into the pivotal moment of the 1960s-70s social and electoral movements – from Civil Rights to the ERA – that brought the aggrievement of the “religious right” in the US back to the fore, and saw the return of a true Christian Nationalist movement in US politics. Stepping back, Onishi looks at his roots in the birthplace of this US Conservative Christian movement – Orange County, California – and the major role this county played in offering an escape for southern and midwestern “implants” from “urban diversity” (Black people), as myriad conservative-driven industries boomed in post-WWII SoCal. Expanding on this era’s particular distillation of Christian Nationalism, Brad walks Sam and Emma through the proliferation of America-first rhetoric in the burgeoning Mega Church and Evangelical communities, with hyper-Americanism and theocratic rule fusing in a cogenerative movement to reclaim the country from “fake” Americans that could not be trusted with socio-political power, a perspective deeply ingrained in the modern day conservative movement. After expanding on the contemporary manifestation of this movement’s proliferation (Donald Trump, Jan 6th, the overturn of Roe v. Wade, etc), Onishi wraps up by expanding on his connection to this movement, what we can learn from much of his community’s escape-from-evangelism, how to organize the left against this threat, and the role traditional catholicism plays as a guiding force for this movement. And in the Fun Half: Emma and Sam watch NC Gubernatorial Candidate Mark Robinson speak in front of the cross about the innate American desire to kill some folks, parse through the unsurprising yet wildly devastating Lancet report on the drastic undercount of deaths in Gaza, and unpack Hamas’ acquiescence to a temporary ceasefire. They also expand on the conversation about Biden’s future, including CNN’s recent report on Biden’s underperforming polling, and where it leaves other electoral races, before watching Dave Rubin build up his expectations for the conservative contagion’s performance in Europe before it all comes crashing down in front of him, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Hump Day! And the MR Crew discuss the news of the day before the long weekend. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on calls for Biden to step aside, the White House’s PR blitz to overcome those calls, Trump’s various legal woes, new FDA regulations, more State Department resignations, Israel’s massive land theft in the West Bank, climate change, and the FTC takedown of a Mattress Firm merger, also parsing through recent calls from sitting Congresspeople for Biden to step aside as Democratic candidate for President and the White House’s reactions. After parsing through some additional context for the slew of Biden-related polling and discussions, including leaks from the New York Times, they dive deep into the idea of a Kamala Harris candidacy and why she might be the only real choice to pick up Biden’s failing campaign. They also look at the recent statement from en-masse Stat Department resignees over US culpability in Gaza, before wrapping up with the insane developments around Israel’s ongoing land theft in the West Bank under Smotrich. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma have expansive conversations with Joe from Florida and Jake from Georgia about replacing Joe Biden as Democratic candidate for president, parse through the new Times/Siena poll on Biden’s cratering support, and examine Oklahoma’s new educational overhaul (the introduction of Bible studies to public schooling). Kowalski from Nebraska and DSA Aaron from Atlanta give their takes on a Harris candidacy, Greg from Johnstown tackles his thoughts on Biden, and Dave Rubin eviscerates Bill Nye with facts and logic (by which I mean opinions about his fashion sense), plus, your calls and IMs!

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. But first they speak with Ian Millhiser, senior correspondent at Vox, to discuss the end of the Supreme Court term, including the blockbuster decision regarding presidential immunity. Sam and Emma begin with updates on Biden and Trump’s differing reactions to the recent Supreme Court decision, Biden’s campaign for president, AOC’s articles of impeachment for the Supreme Court, Biden’s environmental, workplace, and student debt policies, Israel’s continuing violence, the disbarring of Rudy Giuliani, and Hurricane Beryl, before highlighting the interesting change of perspective that Justices Roberts, Alito, and Kavanaugh all seemed to have undergone on that whole “holding Presidents to account” thing. Ian Millhiser then joins, diving right into the complicated task of reconciling the Supreme Court issuing to landmark – and wildly contradictory – decisions the last week, including the overturning of the Chevron Deference Doctrine – which drastically shackles the federal government – and the granting of presidential immunity for “official” acts – which (obviously) fully unleashes the president’s power to rule. Expanding on this, Millhiser, Emma, and Sam unpack the common thread of the self-empowerment of the judiciary, with the former decision essentially putting administrative choices in the hands of the Court and the latter presenting a central distinction (whether the act is “official” or not) that can only be decided by the Court. After tackling how the “immunity” decision changes the perspective on both former (e.g. Watergate) and ongoing attempts to hold presidents to account, and what these decisions tell us about the Courts fascist tendencies and general incompetence, Ian gives his take on how the Chevron decision might come back to bite the conservative Court in the ass, and wraps up with a brief assessment of the Supreme Court’s decision in Moody v. NetChoice. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma unpack some major stories developing behind the scenes of the Democratic machine as Carl Bernstein and Nancy Pelosi make telling comments about Joe Biden’s future as the Democratic presidential candidate. They also parse through Biden’s lackluster response to the Supreme Court’s Immunity decision, new polling (including internal Democratic Party numbers) on Biden’s failing candidacy, how Kamala Harris might perform as his replacement, and what that VP conversation could entail. Jimmy Dore and Candace Owens ponder why we care about Jewish trauma, plus, your IMs!

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Melissa Jacoby, law professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, to discuss her recent book Unjust Debts: How Our Bankruptcy System Makes America More Unequal. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on SCOTUS’ affirmation of presidential immunity, Joe Biden’s Presidency, Boeing’s plea deal, Bannon’s prison time, Oklahoma and Texas Supreme Court decisions, the failure of the US aid pier in Gaza, Israel’s attempted annexation of the West Bank, the French snap elections, and the Bolivian coup attempt, before diving deep into the Supreme Court’s recent decision to officially place the President of the United States above the rule of law, and unpacking what exact acts might fall in the purview of this decision. Professor Melissa Jacoby then joins, briefly giving her own reactions to recent SCOTUS developments, before diving into the concept of bankruptcy in a society that runs on debts as a much-needed safety valve for the individual (or family), a need directly contrasted by the staunch moral stigma around the “personal-failing” of bankruptcy when it comes to people – a stigma that is not applied when it comes to corporations. Stepping back, Professor Jacoby walks through the major role the 2005 bankruptcy act (BAPCPA) played in making the bankruptcy system even more inaccessible for the individual, walking through various stories told in “Unjust Debts” that exemplify the problematic and unreliable role bankruptcy plays in practice, and why the contrasts between Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy (and who is filed into which) exacerbate these issues. After expanding on the particular role race plays in the bankruptcy system, Sam, Emma, and Melissa briefly touch on how corporations can take advantage of bankruptcy law – particularly when it comes to avoiding paying fair damages – and wrap up with hopes for the future of bankruptcy law and policy. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma unpack the developing conversation around Biden’s future as the Democratic candidate for president, with Rep. Jamie Raskin and Mika Brzezinski exemplifying the Democratic establishment’s worried (and worrying) response, and parse through the politics that got us to this point. They also touch on Donald Trump’s continued use of “Palestinian” as a derogatory term for Democrats, Biden’s leadership problems, and Bannon’s prison Tim, before wrapping up with some (satirical) ponderings about how SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision could play out in practice, and the Trump Campaign’s new tact for the Black vote (it’s a doozy!), plus, your IMs!

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Jamelle Bouie, opinion columnist at the New York Times and co-host of the Unclear and Present Danger podcast, to recap last night's presidential debate and discuss the other big headlines of the day. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on last night’s presidential debate, the Supreme Court’s attack on the administrative state (and accountability for January 6th), Oklahoma’s educational union of the church and state, Biden’s immigration and student debt plans, Illinois Amazon driver action, and Israel’s pivot to Lebanon, before watching Claire McCaskill encapsulate the panic of the Democratic establishment and pundit class in the wake of Biden’s alarmingly poor performance at the debate. Jamelle Bouie then joins, as he gives his take on various compounding issues that faced Biden – from his vocal performance to his all-around coherence – before they parse through and highlight some examples, including pivoting a Roe v. Wade conversation to a story about an immigrant rape and a ramble that ends with “we beat medicare.” Next, they unpack some initial reactions from the Democratic establishment and mainstream media (including Biden’s media bromance partner Joe Scarborough), the legitimacy of the call for Biden to step aside, and what the pros and cons of a Biden, Harris, or third-candidate nominee would be. Wrapping up, Bouie, Sam, and Emma briefly unpack the Supreme Court’s newest decision attacking the Chevron Deference Doctrine and the administrative state, how it culminates the conservative project started by Reagan, and what it means for US politics moving forward. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma dive a little deeper into their post-debate takes, watch CNN’s debate fact-checker show up an hour late, and unpack some of the more mechanical elements that didn’t go Biden’s way. They also watch Tim Pool deny the 2020 election… predictions he made, Dr. Michael Savage exposes the Jewish conspiracy behind the antisemitism of the Squad, and Saul Seder has his most polarizing appearance yet, plus, your calls and IMs!
