• 2453 - Trump’s McKinley Fixation; Free Mahmoud Khalil w/ David McWilliams, Lily Greenberg-Call

  It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with David McWilliams, Irish economist and writer, to discuss Trump's interest in the presidency of William McKinley. Then, she speaks with Lily Greenberg Call, former political appointee in the Biden administration, to discuss the recent developments in the detention of Mahmoud Khalil. First, Emma runs through updates on the Senate’s vote on cloture and the Continuing Resolution, Trump’s mass layoffs, the gutting of the DOE, Trump’s trade war with Europe, the falling stock market, Trump’s failed nomination for CDC director, Tim Walz’s political tour, the UN’s independent inquiry into Israel’s genocide, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Mayor of Miami’s crackdown on free speech, and the attack on the IRS, before expanding on the ongoing fight within the US Senate to block the GOP’s partisan Continuing Resolution which would effectively neuter Congress amid Trump’s reign, and watching Markwayne Mullin accidentally give away the game on Trump’s tariff war. David McWilliams then dives right into the historical context for Trump’s obsession with William McKinley – 25th President of the United States – highlighting how the election of McKinley in 1896 served as a major turning point in the evolution of the Gilded Age, as a culmination of a populist push against growing economic consolidation amid increasing culture war and a rapidly growing (and changing) working class with an influx of European immigration, and the very clear parallels with how Trump is handling the similarities in this moment, from his alignment with the monopolists and oligarchs of the time, to his obsession with small territorial acquisitions while pushing an isolaitonist economic agenda. After touching on the end to McKinley with his assassination in 1901 and the major role his Vice President Teddy Roosevelt would play in pushing back against the political takeover of robber barons and monopolists, putting a bit of a damper on potential parallels to the Big Tech-backed JD Vance, McWilliams walks Emma through McKinley’s expansive project to bolster the pockets of his wealthy donors, from cementing the shift to a gold standard (crypto reserve anyone?!) and bolstering rail monopoly at the expense of America’s farming majority, to the inception of lobbying with the backing of his 1896 campaign by notorious businessman Mark Hanna (Musk), who would rally the wealthy elite behind McKinley to change the facts on the ground. Having briefly expanded on McKinley’s imperial agenda, and the particular role it plays in creating an atmosphere of chaos to mask the kleptocracy at work, David looks to the extreme lengths Trump has taken McKinley tariff regime, applying them to quite literally every close ally the US has in such a drastic manner it offers little explanation outside of in-group speculation while the economy as a whole collapses. They wrap up the interview by touching on the role McKinleyism and the Gilded Age played in spurring the emergence of the US labor movement under FDR. Lily Greenberg-Call then joins as she and Emma parse through the abduction and detainment of Columbia University activist and Greencard holder/permanent US resident Mahmoud Khalil over his speech in support of a free Palestine, reflecting on the vast distance between the response Chuck Schumer gave – largely defending Israel and denouncing Khalil’s speech – and that of Chris Murphy – who cites the criminalization of speech that goes against Trump’s agenda in contrast with the happy embrace of explicitly Nazi speech. Next, they dissect the particularly disgusting way in which antisemitism has been abused over this fight, from the White House’s explicit references to judaism in their flaunting of this authoritarian overstep, to the fact that the statute they’re using to defend their action is grounded in the antisemitic McCarthyist movement, and the value of seeing Jewish Americans stand up and fight for Mahmoud Khalil’s rights, wrapping up the interview by emphasizing the need to keep that momentum going, showing up in the streets to fight for Khalil and any other victims of the Trump regime. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they unpack dweebs Tim Pool and Russell Brand’s fear of a real punk rock lifestyle (shoutout Against Me!), before talking to Rob from DC about calling our Senators. They also do some side-by-side comparisons of NYC candidates for Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo in their response to the abduction of New Yorker Mahmoud Khalil at the hands of the Trump administration, before listening to Tommy Tuberville explain why its fine to treat protesters this way, actually, and watching economists struggle with explaining Trump’s tariff agenda. They also reflect a little more on Against Me! and trans identity with Ramona Frankenstein, before Mimi from Colorado delivers a plea to save our federal land, plus, your calls and IMs!

• 2452 - DOE Slashed, Building A New Gaza Policy, & Demise Of Public Health w/ Tariq Habash; Dr. MarkAlain Dery

  It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Tariq Habash, former senior official at the Dept. of Education under President Biden, founder & director of the organization A New Policy, to discuss the Trump administration's actions taken regarding student loans. Then, he speaks with Dr. MarkAlain Dery, infectious disease specialist, founder of community radio station 102.3 WHIV-FM, and creator of the NoiseFilter podcast, to discuss the recent measles outbreaks in Texas & New Mexico. First, Sam runs through updates on Europe’s retaliatory tariffs, public backlash to Trump’s handling of the economy, the House’s passage of a Continuing Resolution as the fight moves to the Senate, Trump’s slashing of the DOE, Trump’s $100m Tesla deal, Trump’s disappearing of Columbia student and permanent US resident Mahmoud Khalil, Ukraine’s support for a ceasefire, the DOJ’s public corruption unit, and cuts to NOAA and the EPA, before expanding on the insane debate over the GOP’s “clean” Continuing Resolution, and why Senate Democrats are so willing to hand over the US government to Elon Musk. Tariq Habash then joins, first stepping back to walk through his experience working in Biden’s DOE before leaving in protest at the start of last year over the President’s support of Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Gaza, and unpack why the internal barriers to policy work so pushed him to establishing “A New Policy.” Moving forward, Habash explores why, despite Democrats’ desires, the issue of the ethnic cleansing of Gaza will not go away under Trump, with his dreams to fully redevelop the Gaza strip in his own immaged backed by his revamping of Israel’s assault and a domestic crackdown (including full-on dissappearings) of pro-Palestinian activism, with the recent abduction of Mahmoud Khalil working as Trump’s perfect crime to wage war on the rights of Black and Brown permanant residents – capitalizing on Democratic Leadership’s commitment to genocide to minimize dissent from the opposition. Shifting to the domestic policy side of things, Tariq brings Sam through Trump’s attack on the DOE, walking through the department’s long history as a Civil Rights agency, before diving deep into Trump’s attack on the student loan and debt relief programs, which explicitly seek to target public service workers, and folks that work with trans folks, immigrants, or Palestinians. Wrapping up, Habash looks to the devastating impact Trump’s DOE cuts will have on special education in the US, and what to make of our major educational institutions fully acquiesing to the regime. Dr. MarkAlain Dery then jumps right into a clear assessment of RFK’s myriad destructive actions since being named HHS Secretary, from his lack of awareness about the ongoing measles crisis, to his cancelling of ACIP, and his backing of the all-around shutdown of any federal public health communications and much of its funding. After expanding on the fundamental problem with focusing on mitigating rather than preventative care, Dr. Dery walks Sam through the importance of a public health regime when it comes to addressing large-scale health issues facing the American public, pulling from his own recent work in New Orleans, before looking toward the biggest threats he sees facing the US’ weakened public health infrastructure, including the threat of an ever-mutating bird flu, and the recent bubblings of hantavirus. Wrapping up, Dr. MarkAlain Dery reemphasizes that we have the capacity to fight against these threats, despite doubts about the current administration. And in the Fun Half: Sam dives into the outcome of the Democratic Party and mainstream media’s complete acquiesence to the right wing’s transphobic fearmongering, with Trump’s regime implementing a full scale erasure and attack on trans identity and community, looking to Rep. Keating’s complete takedown of Rep. Keith Self’s blantant and direct misgendering of Rep. Sarah McBride. After expanding on Trump’s recent $100m commercial deal with Tesla, and diving deep into Krystal Ball’s coverage of Tesla’s fraud allegations out of Canada, Sam and the MR Team dive deep into Sam’s debate over social security on Jubilee. Tabatha from Central Mass calls in to unpack what trans care for your child actually looks like, plus, your calls and IMs!

• 2451 - Cuomo’s Disgrace & Senate Dems Moment of Truth w/ Lindsey Boylan

  It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with Lindsey Boylan, former government official, to discuss Andrew Cuomo's recent announcement that he'll be running for Mayor of New York. First, they run through updates on Trump’s trade war and the related economic turmoil, the GOP’s impending government shutdown, the attempted deportation of Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil, Ukraine’s offensive on Moscow, Rubio’s small ask to Ukraine (give up your land to Russia), the NIH’s anti-vax pivot as RFK blames measles on nutrition, Trump’s attacks on the ACA, SCOTUS’ approach to conversion therapy bans, legal pushback to DOGE and OPM, and the dropping net work of Trump’s billionaire backers, before expanding on the incredible showing in support of Mahmoud Khalil at Foley Square in NYC yesterday, contrasted with Long Island politician Bruce Blakeman attempt to push blatantly false, islamophobic conspiracy, with no evidence to back himself up. Lindsey Boylan then joins, first walking through her own background working former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, beginning in 2016 and making her way up to a senior member of his team and special advisor, all while Cuomo consistently exercised his station to maintain a culture of sexual harrassment and exploitation, tackling her own experiences with Cuomo’s sexual misconduct. After briefly jumping back to today to unpack the astonishing embrace of (or, at least, acquiesence to) Andrew Cuomo by New York politicians in the wake of his announced campaign for Mayor, Boylan, Sam, and Emma dive deep into the extensive investigations into Cuomo’s administration by the city, state, and federal government, all of which confirmed a minimum of a dozen victims of Cuomo’s abuses, and how the following suits from his victims – including both a woman younger than his daughters and the state trooper charged with taking a bullet for him – has resulted in Cuomo leveling $60 million of taxpayer money to harrass, demean, and discredit his accusers and their families. Lindsey ealso xplores Cuomo’s still-existent path to victory in his fight against accountability, with Cuomo using America’s refusal to address sexual harrassment beyond civil charges to further discredit these cases, while the campaign of lawfare and public harrassment continues with little-to-no pushback from the Democratic establishment, wrapping up by touching on the importance of leaving the former governor off of your fully-ranked ballot in the NYC primary this year. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma struggle to empathize with Elon Musk’s multi-billion dollar losses and ongoing business struggles amid his attempted takeover of the US government, before watching Newsmax host Rob Schmitt attempt to defend Trump’s economic turmoil. They also dive deep into Sam’s appearance on Jubilee and the absurd attempts by the online right to reconcile the idiocracy of their movement, before watching RFK cuck himself to the Trump Administration hazing ritual as he digs into fast food and makes fun of dying turtles, plus, your calls and IMs!

• 2450 - Is Racism Over? Science Has The Answer w/ Dr. Keon West

  Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Dr. Keon West, visiting professor of political science at the London School of Economics, to discuss his recent book The Science of Racism: Everything You Need To Know But Probably Don't-Yet. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the Canadian prime ministership, the GOP’s impending government shutdown, Trump’s attack on Columbia University, Columbia University’s wilful aiding of Trump’s disappearing of a student activist, Israel’s cutting of electricity o Gaza, Canadian tariffs, Trump’s egg problem, Trump’s recession problem, the Trump administration’s legal woes, DOGE’s unsurprising attack on Child Support, and the continuing spread of measles, also highlighting the Trump Administration’s attempts to preemptively defend the recession and economic chaos they are about to reign on the US (and the world). Dr. Keon West then joins, diving right into his data-driven approach to highlighting the existence of racism, and how we can (and have) run experiments to test for differential treatment on the grounds of race (and nothing but race), highlighting various experiments displaying blantant racial descrimination in hiring practices, pre-elementary child education, and the medical industry, as he, Sam, and Emma walk through the minimal role the race of the descriminator plays in these situations, and why, despite mainstream narratives, many of the biases being displayed are concious and active. After expanding the conversation to include the extensive data behind the racial descrimination in contemporary American policing, and unpacking the lie of the “Black on Black crime” narrative, Dr. West steps back to tackle the ebb and flow of racial descrimination over time, with the last four hundred years seeing a drastic evolution in racial biases, tracing periods of particularly extreme racism to both economic straing and the platforming and normalization of this bigotry by sociopolitical leaders. Dr. Keon West, Sam, and Emma also discuss the importance of centering on society’s overwhelming discomfort with racism (even when exercising it), what it means to do something about racism, and what to make of the fraudulant attacks on the admittedly problematic policy of DEI, before wrapping up by highlighting the role of clear data analysis – rather than vague appeals to authority – in helping push people away from bigotry. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch the Right-wing media apparatus explain exactly why skyrocketing egg prices aren’t Trump’s fault – unfortunately contradicting much of their coverage over the last few years – also tackling Trump’s attack on the law firms attempting to challenge him, and the GOP’s ongoing push to pass a continuing resolution that would allow them to make cuts to the budget without negotiation. They also parse through Democratic leadership’s ongoing struggle to act like an opposition party, contrasting the likes of Schumer and Jeffries with Bernie’s astoundingly successful tour campaigning against the Trump Administration, before highlighting the Trump Adminstration’s disappearing of a permanent US resident (with some help from Columbia University) and Gov Newsome’s recent bigoted-bridge-building session with Charlie Kirk, with some help from Emma’s apperance on MSNBC over this weekend. After briefly fact-checking Jimmy Dore’s recent climate-denial musings, they wrap up by touching on the potential hacking of Twitter by activist group Anonymous, plus, your IMs!
