3625 - Shut Down Ends, Epstein Barrage Begins; Republican Dummymander w/ Heather 'Digby' Parton
It's Casual Friday on the Majority Report On today's program: More Epstein emails continue to surface, and they're becoming a growing problem for Donald Trump. Pundits are working overtime to run interference. In 2018, Megyn Kelly said on NBC that there's no such thing as consent for anyone under 18. But now that this standard is inconvenient for Trump, she's trying to reframe his reported attraction to 15-year-olds as "barely legal" in a grim segment on her podcast. Columnist at salon.com and publisher of the Hullabaloo blog, Heather 'Digby' Parton joins Sam to wrap up the week's news. They discuss the ending of the government shutdown, the Epstein Files, the failure of the Texas gerrymander attempt and more. In the Fun Half: John Fetterman blames TikTok as the reason that young people have turned on Israel and not maybe the genocide. We get an update from the Gaza Bakery Family. Support their Go Fund Me here. Donald Trump says that the 50-year mortgage isn't a big deal, who cares about a being indebted to a bank for 50 years and paying infinite more in interest. Ben Shapiro thinks that if you can't afford to live somewhere than you should move. JD Vance blames the affordability crisis on immigrants. Good to see the GOP taking on the economic crisis in this country so seriously. Comedian Ian Edwards does a great bit about ICE in the age of slavery. Check out the whole joke here. New details emerge around Matt Gaetz's alleged predatory behavior towards a 17-year-old girl. The Dave Rubin archive made a wonderful compilation video showing highlights of his coverage of the New York mayoral election. All that and more The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

3623 - Trump's Epstein Email Problem; Anti-Trust Import to Socialists w/ Ryan Cooper
The House Oversight Committee releases three email threads from the Epstein estate that make Donald Trump look as he would put it, not so great. The emails show Michael Wolff advising Epstein on how to use his association with Trump to curry favor with him. Managing editor of the American Prospect, Ryan Cooper joins the show to discuss how antitrust policy is important to Socialism, the money-sucking failure of Ai and why Chuck Schumer has to go. In the Fun Half: Donald Trump has reversed his stance on H‑1B visas, now arguing that the U.S. needs to import talent from other countries and pundits who spent years criticizing these visas are following his flip‑flop. Stephen Crowder almost has a panic attack as he begs the relevant right-wing voices to appear on his show so he can get views and end the civil war between the Nazis and Zionists. Jim Breuer weighs-in with his take on the Nick Fuentes drama John Fetterman claims that his "devotion to Israel" has become incompatible with being a Democrat.

3622 - Challenging Ritchie Torres; Supreme Court Tariff Tap Dance w/ Michael Blake, Jay Willis
It's News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report On today's program: Chuck Schumer is officially persona non grata within the Democratic party. It is unclear whether the 7 Democrats and Angus King caved on the shut down at the behest of Schumer or in defiance of him but what is clear is his ineffectiveness as Senate Minority Leader. Former New York assemblyman and current primary challenger to Ritchie Torres for the 15-Congressional district of New York, Michael Blake joins the program to discuss his campaign. For more information on Michael's platform check out Michael Blake for Congress. Editor-in-chief of Balls and Strike, Jay Willis joins Sam to discuss the Supreme Court's case on the legality of Trump's tariffs. For more on this, check out Jay's piece in Balls and Strikes. In the Fun Half: Bernie Sanders has choice words for Angus King's claims that "standing up to Trump didn't work" Donald Trump promises to give air traffic controllers who kept working amidst the shut down a 10k bonus. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that bonus if I were an ATC. In the same interview Trump opines on turning healthcare into market-based accounts that will make people feel like entrepreneurs. Nothing takes the anxiety away from a health concern like having to negotiate a deal for your care. Patrick Bet-David and his crew react to Zohran Mamdani's proposal to enforce existing laws requiring slumlords to repair their buildings or risk having their properties seized by the city. Bill Maher and Cheryl Hines have a real deep conversation about Trump's hatred for war. Even though he has bombed Yemen and Iran, killed almost a 100 people in the Caribbean, threatened regime change in Venezuela, to annex Greenland and Canada, etc. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

3621 - The Democrats Olds Problem w/ Rebecca Traister
It's Fun Day Monday on the Majority Report On today's program: The courts have denied the Trump administration's attempt to block federal funding for SNAP. Despite that victory, seven Democrats and Senator Angus King joined Republicans to reopen the government. Angus King (I-ME) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) defended their votes—King arguing that "standing up to Trump didn't work," and Shaheen claiming the move would allow Democrats to draft another bill... that Republicans will certainly vote against. Rebecca Traister, writer at New York magazine joins the program to discuss the gerontocracy (both in age and philosophy) that has hijacked our political system. In the Fun Half: ICE agents arrest a father and drive off with his one-year-old child. When the child is later picked up by her grandmother, she has a bruise on her face, a dirty diaper, and a rash. Palantir CEO Alex Karp cannot answer a simple question regarding Nick Fuentes. It's pretty incredible to watch him reveal himself as an absolute idiot. Dave Rubin has a new pod with a bunch of his actual friends, and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you all. All that and more. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.
