It’s Hump Day! Sam, Emma, and the MR Crew are breaking down some of the biggest news stories of the day and taking your calls in the show’s first hour! First, they run through updates on ceasefire in Lebanon, Trump’s developing cabinet, Mexico’s President Sheinbaum’s retaliatory tariff plan, the Trump transition team, Democrats’ growing number in the House, Amazon workers’ international Black Friday strike, the battle between North Carolina’s governor and supermajority legislature, Maine’s lawsuit against ExxonMobil, Shell and Chevron, Pakistan’s crackdown on Imran Khan supporters, Ukrainian support for ending the war, and Trump’s plan to further defund IRS enforcement on wealthy people, before expanding on the great politics behind the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire, why it’s a major win for Israel – especially in winning over France’s rejection of the ICC warrants. After watching notorious ghoul Matthew Miller explain why it’s actually totally okay to hold Israel to a different standard for war crimes, they chat with Bree from New York about the relationship between Trump and the GOP, and dive deep into the major failings of the Biden-Harris campaigns, parsing through reflections from campaign leaders like David Plouffe and Stephanie Cutter as they dissect Democrats’ inability to run a campaign in an era of disillusionment where low-propensity voters are key. Phillip from New York has some updates on the threat of Bird Flu heading into influenza season. And in the Fun Half, the MR Crew check in with Rudy Giuliani, who (according to him) is flat broke and who (according to a courtroom sketch artist) is going insane in court and refusing to listen to legal counsel or the judge presiding over him. They then check out Marc Andreessen lying about the CFPB to Joe Rogan, as well as Vivek Ramaswamy’s “DOGE” committee, which Fareed Zakaria is apparently super pumped about. Plus, your calls & IM’s!   For Sam’s upcoming birthday donate to friend of the show Mohammed Aldaghma’s Gaza Bakery GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/gaza-bakery-feeding-displaced-families Follow us on TikTok here!: https://www.tiktok.com/@majorityreportfm Check us out on Twitch here!: https://www.twitch.tv/themajorityreport Find our Rumble stream here!: https://rumble.com/user/majorityreport Check out our alt YouTube channel here!: https://www.youtube.com/majorityreportlive Join Sam on the Nation Magazine Cruise! 7 days in December 2024!!: https://nationcruise.com/mr/ Check out StrikeAid here!; https://strikeaid.com/ Gift a Majority Report subscription here: https://fans.fm/majority/gift Subscribe to the ESVN YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/esvnshow Subscribe to the AMQuickie newsletter here: https://am-quickie.ghost.io/ Join the Majority Report Discord! http://majoritydiscord.com/ Get all your MR merch at our store: https://shop.majorityreportradio.com/ Get the free Majority Report App!: http://majority.fm/app Go to https://JustCoffee.coop and use coupon code majority to get 20% off your purchase!

It’s News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with Richard Beck, senior writer at n + 1 Magazine, to discuss his recent book Homeland: The War on Terror in American Life. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Trump’s tariffs, Trump’s cabinet drama, Trump’s legal woes, Biden’s gift to Trump, deaths under Texas’ abortion ban, Missouri’s ban on trans care for minors, Charlotte’s airport workers’ strike, bird flu, and Mississippi’s runoff election, before diving a little deeper into Biden’s plan to expand Medicare and Medicaid to include weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Trump’s tariff plan, and problems in the Trump cabinet. Richard Beck then joins, jumping right into his particular perspective for the war on terror as a teenager at the time of 9/11, unpacking the bipartisan normalization of the shift to a domestic surveillance state backing a globalized project of enforced American hegemony, and looking at how the Democratic Party (under Obama), in particular, worked to simultaneously present the Bush administration as an aberration, while bureaucratizing, rationalizing, and, ultimately, reinforcing the exact project that was supposedly so absurd. After briefly touching on the window Occupy provided to the Obama administration’s blatant rejection of a progressive movement outside of the political establishment, Beck steps back, diving into the overwhelming media backlash to any sort of critical lens on US hegemony, with a direct line between the “owning the libs” politics of today and the Limbaughian obsession with making fun of the progressive identifiers of the nineties and aughts, alongside a direct tie-in to the bipartisan militarization of American society, be it tanks in police departments, an influx of Humvees on the street, or the catapulting of “SpecOps”-esque comic movies to the forefront of US culture, and how those elements worked to further legitimize the amoral (and often actively immoral) maintenance of US hegemony across the globe. Wrapping up, Richard, Sam, and Emma briefly touch on the particular role of oil in the War on Terror, and why it fails to actually explain the quest for American hegemony in an age of dwindling capitalist expansion, tackling the major role of the US plays well outside of petroleum reserves in an effort, more than anything else, to simply protect its impunity at the top of the global liberal order. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma touch on future coverage of the Longshoremen’s strike, before diving into the continuing death and devastation coming from Texas’ abortion ban, and reflecting on Tim Pool’s desire to make every victim of rape a subject of public criticism if they want an abortion. They also tackle some backlash to Trump naming a pro-vaccination doctor to the position of Surgeon General, plus, you IMs!
