3550 - The Immigration-Incarceration Pipeline; Neoliberalism in Crisis w/ Silky Shah, Tim Sahay
It’s Emmajority Report Thursday! On today’s show: After facing significant backlash, Scott Bessent makes a half-hearted attempt to walk back his comments about using Trump "accounts" as a backdoor to privatize Social Security. Silky Shah, author of Unbuild Walls: Why Immigrant Justice Needs Abolition, joins us to discuss how immigration policy fuels mass incarceration. Then, Tim Sahay, co-editor of the Polycrisis newsletter, stops by to talk about the crumbling foundations of neoliberalism and what comes next. In the Fun Half: Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder join us as we kick things off with Cory Booker’s passionate floor speech—no, not about Gaza, Epstein, or austerity—but about a procedural technicality in a bill he supported twice. We break down the Senate vote on Bernie Sanders’ failed proposal to block additional arms shipments to Israel—and Bernie’s ongoing refusal to say the word “genocide.” Plus: a deep-pocketed centrist enters the race for Jerry Nadler’s seat, borrowing stylistic cues from Zohran Mamdani, minus the actual policy platform. All that and more, plus your calls and IMs! The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. You can use this number to connect with either the U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives.

3549 - Can Minneapolis Elect A Socialist Mayor & Gaza Doctor Returns w/ Omar Fateh, Dr. Ambereen Sleemi (M)
It’s Hump Day at the Majority Report! On today’s show: Donald Trump freely admits that he was aware that young girls trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell were "taken" from the spa at Mar-a-Lago—and even claims to remember their names. We’re joined by Minnesota State Senator Omar Fateh, the DFL-endorsed candidate for Mayor of Minneapolis, to discuss the city’s political challenges and what’s at stake in the upcoming election. Later, Dr. Ambereen Sleemi—a Brooklyn-based urogynecologist and Director of International Medical Response—joins us to share her experience volunteering for four weeks at Nasser Hospital in Gaza. In the Fun Half: Krystal Ball holds Sen Elissa Slotnick's feet to the fire on Breaking Points Andrew Cuomo sort of backs off his decision to defend war criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu from ICC charges. Tim Pool melts down over receiving backlash for clutching his pearls over a South Park episode.

3548 - GOP Pushes Child Labor Fantasy; Israeli Refusenik Movement Grows w/ Iddo Elam
It’s News Day Tuesday… or Tuesday News Day. Either way, it’s Tuesday. On today’s show: Charlie Hurt and Charlie Kirk join Fox & Friends Weekend to argue that deporting migrant workers would create job opportunities for American children—like picking blueberries or working construction. Jewish-Israeli refusenik Iddo Elam joins us to discuss his recent imprisonment for refusing to serve in the IDF. We also explore how Israeli children are indoctrinated from a young age to view military service as sacred, and how the average Israeli perceives American media coverage of the conflict. In the Fun Half: Laura Loomer stops by the Patrick Bet-David Podcast to settle her beef with Nazi influencer Nick Fuentes—and shockingly, her issues with him aren’t related to him being a NAZI. A Republican Senate candidate in Georiga (yes, spelled like that) has trouble spelling the state he hopes to represent. Meanwhile, Senator Jon Ossoff understands that a more progressive platform is what works with purple state voters. And finally, RFK Jr. claims a Harvard doctor is curing schizophrenia with… dietary changes. Seed oils make the brain boil. All that and more, plus your calls and IMs. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. You can use this number to connect with either the U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives.

3547 - Blinken Blames Protesters for Gaza Genocide; America’s Homelessness Hits Historic High w/ Brian Goldstone
It’s a Fun Day Monday on the Majority Report! Former Secretary of State and garage rocker, Antony Blinken puts down his guitar to make a podcast appearance where he blames the genocide in Gaza on protestors for not condemning Hamas enough. Author Brian Goldstone joins the us to discuss his new book There is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America , exploring the roots and rise of historic homelessness in the U.S. In the Fun Half—where fun is never guaranteed but sometimes sneaks in—we examine how Benjamin Netanyahu’s English-language messaging doesn’t quite match what he’s saying in Hebrew. Trump lands in Scotland, offering incoherent ramblings while UK PM Keir Starmer cleans the sod off his golf cleats with his tongue. Jeremy Corbyn launches a new party in the UK—and it's off to a strong start. It's almost as if people are not happy with milquetoast centrists that do f*** all. In masculine news, brawny broadcasters Charlie Kirk and Tucker Carlson mourn the supposed "hyper-feminization" of corporate America. All that, plus your IMs. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. You can use this number to connect with either the U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives.

3546 - Tennessee Clinic Denies Unmarried Pregnant Woman Care; Israel Confiscates Baby Formula w/ Mehdi Hasan
It's Casual Friday on the Majority Report: A pregnant woman in Tennessee is denied medical care under the state’s Medical Ethics Defense Act—because she was unmarried, which conflicted with the clinic’s so-called “Christian values.” We’re joined by Zeteo News Editor-in-Chief Mehdi Hasan to discuss the mass starvation in Gaza, the ongoing Epstein cover-up, and his recent appearance on Jubilee’s Surrounded. In the Fun Half: Andrew Cuomo appears on CNBC to reflect on losing the primary—and lays out a firm policy agenda focused on fearmongering, from anti-Semitism panic to Red Scare tactics. The chairman of the FCC openly calls for a media “course correction”—a not-so-subtle threat to align with the Trump agenda or risk cancellation. South Park takes a big swing at Trump's little thing as Tim Pool clutches his pearls. All that and more plus IMs. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. You can use this number to connect with either the U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives.
