Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Mike Elk, founder of the Payday Report, to discuss the recent news out of Brazil that former President Bolsonaro has been indicted. Then, they speak with Jacob Silverman, co-author of his latest book Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud, and writer at the AM Quickie newsletter, to discuss Trump's nomination of Howard Lutnick to be Commerce Secretary, and his associations with crypto. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Israelâs destruction of Lebanon, Israelâs sanctioning of Haaretz, the Biden-Trump transition, Trumpâs developing cabinet, Trumpâs attacks on trans people, and Trumpâs plan of attack on Jack Smith, before diving a little deeper into the growing tension between the US-Israel alliance and the international order upholding the ICCâs warrant for the arrest of Netanyahu. Mike Elk then joins, diving right into the major developments in Brazilâs criminal case over the far-right (and Bolsonaro-administration-) backed coup and recently-revealed assassination in the wake of Lula da Silvaâs reelection in 2022, with the indicting of a massive portion of Bolsonaroâs military advisors occurring last week in the leadup to the indictment of Bolsonaro himself this week, all at the hands of the Brazilian Supreme Court. Elk then walks Sam and Emma through the development of the investigation, with incredibly poor criminal operations UNRELATED to the coup allowing the Court to easily swing snitches over to their side, before stepping back to unpack the evolution of the fascist attacks on Lula and the Brazilian left, from the corrupt imprisonment of Lula and his successor, through the backlash to said political imprisonment, and into Bolsonaroâs coup attempt in 2023. Mike expands on Bolsonaroâs clear connection to the 2018 assassination of Rio de Janeiro city council member Marielle Franco, before wrapping up by noting the stunning impact this entire affair (and, more importantly, the Court's willingness to act on it) has had on completely decapitating the threat of the Brazilian far-right. Jacob Silverman then walks Sam and Emma through the major influx in crypto spending in the 2024 election cycle, despite the industryâs recent stutters, and touches on the potential issue of an industry dominated by criminal conspiracy and transactions shaping US politics, before zeroing in on the particular role of one Tether, perhaps the largest cryptocurrency on the international level and a central investment of incoming Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. After expanding on the incredibly shady, and fully not evidence-backed dealings of Tether, Jacob wraps up by unpacking the ultimate goal of the crypto industry in completely liberating the movement of money, freeing it from the shackles of absurd concepts like âfraudâ and government regulations, and the role the Trump administration can play in making this goal a reality.
And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Milo Yiannopoulos talk gay sex, not having sex, Laura Loomer, straight sex, abstinence, and definitely not being gay with Tim Pool, before chatting with Guy from Massachusetts and Carrie from New York about certain similarities between Milo and one Nick Fuentes. BRB Forever presses Sam and Emma on the language around Israelâs genocide in Gaza, Walt from Wyoming unpacks Progressivesâ major wins in Wisconsin, and Jordan Peterson teases out the conservative ideology behind the notoriously anti-fascist Lord of the Rings, plus, your calls and IMs!

Itâs Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Heather Digby Parton, contributing writer at Salon.com and proprietor of the blog Hullabaloo, to round up the week in news. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the indefinite cancellation of Trumpâs hush money sentencing, Trumpâs cabinet of rapists and fraudsters, the MTG-Musk-Ramaswamy connection, the Houseâs passage of the non-profit killer bill, Schumerâs weak politics, the divide between US-Israel and the rest of the international order over the ICCâs charges, Bolsonaroâs criminal charges, and UAW action in Kentucky, before parsing a little deeper through the vastly different responses to the ICCâs charges against Netanyahu, Gallant, and others, with an adamant defense of genocide from the Biden administration rebuked both internationally and domestically. Digby then joins, as she, Sam, and Emma first reflect on their gut reactions to Trumpâs second presidential victory, the distinctions between their responses to 2016 and 2024, and the particular feeling of defeat for the feminist movement as an anti-abortion candidate begins to name his overwhelmingly predatory cabinet. Shifting more toward the policy impact of a second Trump term, Digby dives into the major threat of a âcompetentâ Trump administration, backed by four years of drafting the blueprint for Project 2025, and what to make of growing tensions between Trump and the Senate, be it over leadership or cabinet appointments, expanding on that latter element by assessing the major (and controversial) roles to be played by potential cabinet members Pete Hegseth and Russ Vought. The three of them also touch on the major backing Trump has in the financial power of Elon Musk, and the evolution of the GOPâs clamor for power, before Sam and Emma wrap up the free half with some ancient (as in a mere 8 years ago) comments from RFK about one Donald Trump.
And in the Fun Half: Emma dives deep into the impressive progressive representation coming out of Georgia, from the Senate to local politics, with some help from DSA Aaron from Atlanta, before briefly touching on the evolution of the Biden-Netanyahu relationship and what the future of a Trump-Netanyahu alliance will mean for the fight for a free Palestine. The MR Team also highlights Stavros Halkias' strong appearance with Theo Von, talks with Jake the Teacher about New Yorkâs conservative shift and the future of the governorâs race, and unpacks the rampant bigotry of Nancy Mace and the rightâs desire to put queer people back in the closet, plus, your calls and IMs!

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

Itâs Hump Day! Sam speaks with Matt Duss, executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, to discuss what may to be come in terms of foreign policy in Trump's 2nd term. Then, he speaks with Gregg Gonsalves, associate professor of epidemiology at Yale University, to discuss his recent piece in The Nation entitled "The Future of Public Healthâor Lack ThereofâUnder Trump." First, Sam runs through updates on escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine, US support for Israelâs genocide, the growing impact of climate change, Trumpâs newest cabinet names, Nancy Maceâs TERF pivot, the Senateâs judicial confirmations, and the Stop Terror Financing Act, also briefly expanding on Trumpâs cabinet appointments and the absurd lengths he will go to push them through confirmation. Matt Duss then joins, as first tackles the USâ recent vetoing of a 14-1 (the US being the 1) vote in the UN Security Council for an unconditional ceasefire in Gaza, unpacking the facade of Bidenâs supposed goal of a ceasefire â something contradicted by every action and inaction regarding Israel â and the deeply personal ideological roots of his support for the Zionist project. After expanding on the impact of Israelâs genocide on evolving tensions in the Middle East and the changing role of US Hegemony, Duss and Sam look east as they unpack the US pivot to the Pacific and what a second Trump regime would mean for growing tensions with China, wrapping up by diving into the signals sent by Trumpâs exceedingly neo-con cabinet, and why the ultimate factor might just be his ego. Professor Gregg Gonsalves joins, briefly reflecting on broader reactions to Trumpâs developing public health regime led by Dr. Oz and RFK Jr., before diving deeper into some of the problems with the wider goals of an RFK-led public health project, including his misinformation around fluoridation and the US governmentâs balanced and hyper-vigilant approach to its presence in tap water. He and Sam wrap up the interview by unpacking the relationship between public health and wide-spread vaccinations, the concept of âriskâ when it comes to vaccines, on both a personal and community level, and the limited threat of a Bird Flu outbreak.
And in the Fun Half: Sam dives deep into an election post-mortem with Mike from PA, and the long-term failures of the Democratic Party, before watching Bernieâs call for the US to *actually* follow their own laws when it comes to arming Israel, and Oklahomaâs Superintendent sends out a message of prayer to all his stateâs students. Alt-right freaks freak over male birth control, Marjorie Taylor Greene issues an empty (tho entertaining) threat over the Gaetz report, and Retro Robot explores the idea of (and problem with) post-inauguration protests. Nancy Mace forgets to disguise her transphobia with substantive critique of sexual predators, plus, your calls and IMs!

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

The Majority Report with Sam Seder - https://majorityreportradio.com/

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

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

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

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

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

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

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with Daniel Nichanian, editor-in-chief of Bolts Magazine, to discuss the state of the rest of the downballot races after Tuesday's results. Then, she speaks with Usamah Andrabi, communications director & spokesperson for Justice Democrats, to discuss what's next for Democrats heading into 2025. First, Emma runs through updates on Harrisâ election concession, the DNC blame game, exit polling, abortionâs performance, the lingering House fight, Netanyahuâs Trump bootlicking, the Trump Administration, and major wildfires in California, before watching Astead Herndonâs astute reflections on Demsâ failure to run on anything but the status-quo and abortion. Daniel Nichanian then joins, diving right into the overwhelming rejection of Harris, particularly as an extension of a deeply unpopular Biden Administration, and the major defeats seen by Dem Senate candidates, before walking through the stark contrast between that electoral apathy and the genuine success of progressive referendum and state-level progressive campaigns, briefly touching on the lingering (though unlikely) possibility of Democratsâ winning a slim majority in the House. After expanding on the stratification of voting on the Presidency versus down-ballot, Daniel and Emma tackle the major state legislature losses handed to Democrats in Michigan, and Minnesota, and why the future of Congressional campaign fights may lie in the northeast. Usamah Andrabi and Emma then parse through the ongoing failure of Democratsâ evident disassociation from the working-class identity that had carried their coalition for decades, refusing to run campaigns that arenât geared around unifying a mythical centrist coalition (that also includes Republicans and Progressives) driven by celebrities and billionaires and grounded in diet-right-wing politics, and emphasizing abstract economic conditions over the material, lived reality with which everyday Americans struggle. They also touch on the major drag of Harrisâ commitment to the overwhelmingly unpopular status quo under Biden, and unpack the future of a fight for a Democratic party that actually fights for and with the working class.
And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they unpack their election reflections, tackle how Biden set up Harris to fail, and highlight some major distinctions between Obamaâs winning campaign and Demsâ last few major failures. Joe Scarborough blames cancel culture and identity politics for Harris losing, and the MR Team dives deep into Democratsâ persistent failure to set the narrative in mainstream media, plus, your calls and IMs!

Itâs Hump Day! Emma speaks with Ettingermentum of the "Ettingermentum Newsletter" on SubStack to discuss the results of the 2024 election. First, Emma runs through the big updates on Trumpâs victory in the Presidential election, the GOPâs taking of the Senate (and likely keeping the House), exit polls, the success and failure of various abortion referendums, and Californiaâs tough-on-crime referendum, before expanding on their personal reflections on the GOPâs overwhelming victory yesterday. Ettingermentum then joins, as he and Emma where their polling predictions went wrong, also unpacking why Dems learned all of the wrong lessons from their success in the 2022 midterms â particularly in terms of interpreting it as an explicit endorsement of the Biden Administration â and the complete failure of Democrats and Kamala Harris to set forth an alternative vision to the GOPâs demagogic fascism and Bidenâs lethargic liberalism. After briefly touching on the legitimacy of the âShyâ Trump voter, and parsing through the lessons on campaign ground game, Josh and Emma look at the parallels between Obama and Trumpâs victories â particularly in terms of turning out disengaged voters â and dive deep into what the future of the progressive project will look like under Trump.
And in the Fun Half: After expanding on the Rightâs sweeping victory in yesterdayâs elections, Emma and the MR Team talk with Kimmy from Kentucky about moving forward as a red-state single mother and the importance of community organizing â both materially and spiritually â and Ronald Raygun shares his reflections on Trumpâs victory. They also unpack the âlessonsâ that could be learned, Valerie from Arizona shares some personal messages and a hypothesis, and Blake from Nashville tackles party politics. Ben from Columbus explores Bernie Morenoâs victory over Sherrod Brown, plus, your calls and IMs!

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Dave Weigel, politics writer at Semafor, author of the "Americana" newsletter just one day out from the 2024 election. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on final-day swing state polling, the lingering impact of Trumpâs fascist rally at MSG, the electoral drag of Harrisâ support for genocide, RFKâs fluoride attack, Israelâs banning of UNRWA and enforced starvation in Gaza, and the NYT Tech Guild strike, before touching on Trumpâs ongoing deterioration and Mike Johnsonâs wild slip-up over the CHIPs Act. Dave Weigel then joins, diving right into the major Selzer poll out of Iowa, what it shows us regarding Harrisâ overwhelming support from women, and what this poll (and others) can tell us about the success of Harris' voter outreach across swing states. Weigel, Sam, and Emma also parse through the numbers behind early voting, why Democrats arenât particularly pressed about them, and the evolving constituency of independent voters, before touching on the GOPâs GOTV fiasco â led by Elon Musk and Charlie Kirk. After briefly reflecting on the lingering impact of Trumpâs Bund rally at MSG, they get into a preview of the Senate fight, what the best/worst case scenarios are for Dems and Republicans across the Presidency, House, and Senate, and what particular races might act as bellwethers for the greater election. Sam also highlights a John Oliver segment on Georgia Rep. Ruwa Rommanâs comments on voting for Harris.
And in the Fun Half: Emma talks with Greg from Massachusetts about down-ballot voting and the secret men for Harris vote, dives deep into the context for and meaning behind Selzerâs Iowa poll (with some added commentary from Trump and, later on, Jeff from Iowa), and Tim from Chicago asks about the election night timeline. Tucker reflects on wrestling with his demons (and losing), RFK Jr. sets his sights on fluoride, and Steve Doocy canât quite put his finger on why women donât like Trump, plus, your calls and IMs!

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

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

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Molly Redden, reporter covering national politics at ProPublica, and Andy Kroll, reporter covering voting, elections, & democracy at ProPublica, to discuss their piece of reporting entitled âPut Them in Traumaâ: Inside a Key MAGA Leaderâs Plans for a New Trump Agenda. First, Sam runs through updates on the final six days to the US election, early voting numbers, RFKâs ballot problems, Trumpâs threat to Police over mass deportations, the US economy, Israelâs en masse slaughter of civilians in Gaza and Lebanon, and Elon Musk v. the NLRB, before briefly touching on the role of Kamala Harrisâ identity in votersâ support of/aversion to her. Molly Redden and Andy Kroll then join, diving right into who Russell Vought is in the context of Trumpâs first administration (Director of the Office of Management and Budget), current campaign (policy director of the RNC platform committee), and the SUPPOSEDLY unrelated Project 2025 (co-author), before touching on the role he played in the evolution of the Trump teamâs knowledge of the administrative state, and â more importantly â how to dismantle it. Expanding on that latter element, Redden and Kroll parse through the first Trump administrationâs learning process in how to manage (and mismanage) the executive branch, forcing them to rely on career civil servants at the start who, annoyingly, cared about the work they were doing, before slowly pushing them out as Trump loyalists began to understand what they were doing, with a particular focus on the danger Trumpâs âSchedule Fâ poses to any remaining committed civil servants in the executive branch should he return to office. After tackling Russell Voughtâs outspoken support for the complete âtraumatizationâ of these workers on their way out, Sam, Molly, and Andy look to the extensive plan Trumpâs team (and their Project 2025 buddies) have for a radical executive intervention beginning day 1 (should he become President), including relevant regulations and legal justifications, before they wrap up the interview by tackling what we can do (electorally and otherwise) to stop a second Trump Administration.
And in the Fun Half: Sam reads Kowalskiâs reflections on a Nebraska Town Hall, JD Vance takes offense at people taking offense to being called âgarbageâ before going on to take offense to being called âgarbage,â and Sandy from Ontario touches on Canadaâs recent elections. Derrick from Virginia objects to how MR has painted his campaign, Bruce from North Carolina on local feelings heading into the election, and Donald Trump discusses why we donât all have to get along. Hannity runs cover for Trumpâs fascist rally, Elon Musk continues to be a tiny sniveling weasel, and Rich from Missouri dives into the GOPâs use of âballot candyâ to mislead and lure voters. Dave Rubin has some election theories, Charles from Virginia explores what an insurrection would look like without Trump in office, Jack from St. Louis on Missouriâs judges, and Mike Johnson says the GOP has a healthcare plan. The MR Crew also watches Robbie Roadsteamer beautifully take the piss out of Steve Bannon and Hulk Hogan, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with writer and editor Gareth Gore about his new book Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy inside the Catholic Church. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Trumpâs visit to Allentown in the wake of his fascist rally in New York, the Harris Campaign, polling, Floridaâs abortion amendment, attacks on ballot boxes in Washington, Nevadaâs election rules, Steve Bannonâs release from prison, fallout from Bezosâ rule over the Washington Post, and Israelâs banning of UNRWA, before expanding on the overwhelming backlash to Tony Hinchcliffeâs set at Trumpâs fascist rally in NYC, and a potential connection to one Joe Rogan. Gareth Gore then joins, diving right into the story of his research into the collapse of a Spanish bank that led him to uncover the outrageous and extensive financial connections between Opus Dei, said bank, and myriad âhospitalityâ schools across the globe that routinely trafficked women, before stepping back to unpack what Opus Dei is and its process of radicalization under Spanish Priest (and founder) JosemarĂa EscrivĂĄ in early 20th Century Spain to become the reactionary, militant, elite-connected, and Papal-doubting organization that we see today. After briefly expanding on the expansive state of Opus Deiâs connection to the contemporary US conservative movement, particularly in the Courts and Media, Gore steps back to analyze the rise of Opus Dei in the US, walking through its first few decades of struggle before its lingering presence around elite institutions finally took off, and exploring its central motive (from its roots in Spain) of pervading elite networks to grow its political power, with the ultimate goal of imposing their theocratic rule. Gareth also walks Sam through the story of Opus Deiâs âHospitality Schools,â as a central example of their emphasis on abusive and exploitative hierarchy, and the overwhelming backlash to his reporting from Opus Dei-affiliated groups and individuals, before wrapping up by assessing the role the organization is playing in the ongoing US elections, with tight ties to both GOP Mega-Donor Leonard Leo and Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance.
And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma dive a little deeper into the widespread reaction to Tony Hinchcliffeâs wildly racist speech at Trumpâs MSG rally, tackle the Supreme Courtâs newest âIndependent State Legislatureâ case out of Pennsylvania, and unpack the depths of bigotry behind Ryan James Girduskyâs astonishing threat to Mehdi Hasan on CNN. Kari Lake canât get past that whole ârefusing to concede an electionâ thing, Thomas from New Jersey discusses the ongoing attack against Hasan and co., and Cole from Little Rock explores an ongoing conversation with his Christian Zionism grandmother-in-law. John from San Antonio bums us out with his election predictions, plus, your calls and IMs!Follow Gareth on Twitter here: https://x.com/gareth_gore
