It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day.&nbsp;&nbsp;First, they run through updates on election polling, Trump’s claims of “dangerous rhetoric” from the left, the complete shutdown of Springfield, Ohio in the wake of Trump/Vance’s anti-migrant fear-mongering, RFK’s continuing ballot struggles, major labor action with UAW, NYC Amazon Delivery Drivers, Seattle Starbucks, and Boeing, the devastating results of Georgia’s abortion ban, Israel’s expanding offensives, Twitter’s major revenue drop, and increasing attacks on the NLRB, also expanding on the hypocrisy of Trump and Vance’s recent statements on “dangerous rhetoric” after using their platforms to advance nazi conspiracies and lies about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio. Next, Sam and Emma dive deep into polling with six weeks to election day, tackling Harris’ inklings of a lead, Democrats’ decision to target sleeper seats in the house, races in Nebraska and Iowa, and her focus on speaking to immigrant communities. They also look into increasing lawfare against the NLRB, including both a Trump-appointed judge’s decision to find the Bureau unconstitutional over their case against Findhelp and their ongoing battles with Starbucks, and parse through growing corporate attacks on Lina Khan as Harris begins to outline her potential administration. Wrapping up, they discuss the disturbing – and predictable –&nbsp;story coming out of Georgia as their abortion ban puts more and more people in danger. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch JD Vance deftly pivot from addressing Trump’s relationship to Laura Loomer to blunt bigotry, Megyn Kelly guest Rich Lowrie has a telling slip-up, and a Libertarian Party of NH member finds out that in Biden’s America, you can’t encourage the assassination of presidential candidates. Tim Pool has some questions about foreign money in domestic operations, Wayne from Iowa tackles the Right’s perversion of masculinity, and Jesse Raspberry from Springfield, Ohio dives deep into the disastrous economic situation in Springfield – and how the influx of migrants has been a boon in its revitalization. Brad from PA touches on some positives and negatives for the Harris campaign, and Sam and Emma parse through the Green Party’s long-term problem of lack of party infrastructure (or any plan to build it up), plus, your calls and IMs!

2328 - Harris’ Debate Bump & Trump/Vance’s Immigrant Assault Continues

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! Emma speaks with&nbsp;, assistant&nbsp;professor in labor studies at SUNY Empire State University, to discuss his recent book  Then, she speaks with , freelance writer and journalist, proprietor of the Seamus Malekafzali  on SubStack, to discuss the recent Israeli offensive into Lebanon.&nbsp;First, Emma runs through updates on the indictment of Eric Adams, Netanyahu’s visit to the UN, Israel’s devastating offensives in Lebanon and Gaza, election spending, the GOP’s anti-Haitian attacks, US-Israel aid, Harris’ cozying up to crypto, Lina Khan vs. AI, Mark Robinson, and Hurricane Helene, before parsing a little deeper through the beautifully idiotic actions outlined in the fed’s Adams indictment. Professor Jeff Schuhrke then joins, diving right into the history of the AFL-CIO’s internal cold war and the havoc it wreaked on the institution’s organizing capacities, stepping back to outline the start difference in organizing of the then-separate AFL and CIO during the union boom at the peak of the Great Depression in the 1930s, with the Congress of Industrial Organizations taking on a grassroots approach, organizing across the spectrum of the working class to improve class consciousness, including among the growing communist factions in the US, and thus rapidly and drastically expanding their base, unionizing massive corporations, and establishing many openly-communist-led unions, all nationwide, a strategy directly contrasted by the American Federation of Labor’s establishment and anti-communist tact of this era. Moving into the 1940s, Professor Schuhrke explores how the post-war period, between the overwhelming backlash to a wave of strikes in 1945, the growth of an anti-communist government-backed military industry, and the onset of the McCarthyist Red Scare, saw a complete inversion of the growing labor power of the last decade, with full-scale communist purges and the GOP’s takeover of Congress crippling both the numbers and the rights that had so bolstered labor, resulting in a decimated CIO limping to join the AFL in 1955. From here, Jeff walks Emma through the rapid expansion of the AFL-CIO’s anti-communist aims, as funding poured in from the State Department to sponsor an international effort by the labor federation fundamentally conflating anti-communist fear-mongering with labor organizing, be it through worker training or illegal, mafia-backed intimidation practices, putting any attempt to unify the working class to the side as labor took a back seat to US empire, with union rates reflecting exactly that. They wrap up the interview by tackling what we can learn from this period of corruption and degradation as the US finds itself amid a labor renaissance. Séamus Malekafzali then walks Emma through the past few weeks of Israel’s terror campaign on Lebanon, first tackling the brief retaliatory attacks from Hezbollah in late August following Israel’s assassination of commander Fuad Shukr that preceded Israel’s escalation, before diving deep into the material impact of this offensive, between the wide-scale terrorism of Israel’s rigged pagers and communications devices, to their following record-setting bombardments in South Lebanon. After stepping back to explore how Israel’s offensives in Lebanon and against Hezbollah have been central to the IDF developing their tactics of collective punishment, Séamus wraps up with how these tactics have devastated South Lebanon over the last week, pushed the population into a complete crisis, and what it means for the future of the Lebanese people and Zionist expansion. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they unpack the absurd controversy developing around Chappelle Roan’s statement critiquing the Democratic Party (while still saying she’ll vote Harris), and the predictably disgusting (and unsuccessful) backlash to Bisan Owda’s Emmy nomination. Mike in Denver has some...

It’s Hump Day! Sam and Emma break down the biggest moments from the Vice Presidential debate last night. First, they run through updates on post-VP Debate polling, Iran’s barrage on Israel, Israel’s decimation of a Gazan orphanage and barring of the UN Secretary-General, the rising death toll of Hurricane Helene, US labor action, and Eric Adams’ last refuge, also unpacking Rep Ruwa Romman’s recent thread on what it means to expand the Democratic coalition. After briefly touching on the lingering electoral impact of the Biden Administration’s State Department bloodlust, Sam and Emma dive deep into last night’s Vice Presidential debate, including Walz’s success in highlighting the importance of the Iran Nuclear Deal during a ridiculous opening portion on Iran, Vance’s failure to not dig even deeper into his absurd, shameful, and vitriolic lies about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio. They also touch on Walz’s ability to center the success of the ACA in attacking Trump’s “concept of a plan,” and his perfect setup of JD Vance during a conversation on January 6th. They wrap up by briefly expanding on the greater electoral impact (however minimal) of the debate, and what we can glean about the final month of the race. And in the Fun Half: Emma and the MR Team parse through the numbers on Walz’s and Vance’s debate performances, watch Walz’s new post-debate ad, and tackle the Dem’s choice to campaign for moderates rather than reach out to low-propensity partisans. A Caller from Vancouver Island on the low expectations for Kamala’s approach to Israel’s genocide, Ally from South Carolina on Harris swing state campaigning, and Miguel from Arkansas on the shortcomings of ranked-choice voting. Noted ghoul Donald Trump Jr reflects on the harrowing experience of having to tell his kids about their grandfather or something, and other noted ghoul Matthew Miller openly states that the Biden Administration “never wanted to see a diplomatic solution with Hamas.” Plus, your calls and IMs!

2339 - Vice Presidential Debate Recap!

&nbsp; It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with , development studies academic based in the UK, to discuss his recent book . Then, she speaks with&nbsp;, co-host of the Colonial Outcasts&nbsp;, to discuss Israel's recent offensive into Lebanon.&nbsp;First, Emma runs through updates on the release of Jack Smith’s new brief on Trump’s Jan 6th case, Elon’s secret funding of GOP PACs and candidates, Biden-Harris disaster response to Helene, climate change, Harris polling, Israel’s expanding offensives in the Middle East, the devastation of Gazan families by Israel, Facebook’s suppression, the Longshoremen strike, Jordan Neely’s killer, and the presidency of Claudia Sheinbaum, before parsing a little deeper through Jack Smith’s Jan 6th briefing, including his approach to SCOTUS’ ridiculous immunity qualifiers and some extra insights into the day of January 6th itself. Adam Hanieh then joins, briefly touching on his lived experience in the Middle East before diving deep into the central role that the evolution of fossil fuels has played in shaping Western hegemony over the past century and a half, from the rise of coal directly fueling the growth of the British Empire, and well through the “transition” to oil (really more of an addition than transition) and the rise of US Empire. Expanding on this latter point, Hanieh walks Emma through the rise of the oil industry in the mid-20th Century as a product of monopoly, with near-complete vertical integration in an industry dominated by seven companies (five of which were American), also touching on the major role oil reserves in the Persian Gulf played in the evolution of the Cold War, as the US stepped in for dwindling British and French colonial power in the Middle East, establishing a strong alliance with the Saudi regime before Israel’s success in the 1967 war added another major US proxy in the region, with even greater control over the Suez Canal – two relationships that remain central to US interests with the ongoing push for the Abraham Accords. After expanding on the role of the US in bolstering instability and insecurity in the region to secure their influence, Adam wraps up by unpacking the evolution of OPEC and its role as a supposedly decolonial institution headed by a major US-ally and authoritarian regime in Saudi Arabia. Greg Stoker and Emma tackle the rapid expansion of Israel’s ongoing military campaign into a full-scale regional conflict, with Israel launching a full-scale terror campaign across Lebanon before advancing a typically collectively punitive bombing campaign against Hezbollah personnel, as well this week’s Iran-launched barrage on Tel Aviv. Stoker continues, tackling the glaring parallels between Israel’s ongoing invasion of Lebanon and their complete failure in the 2006 war, parsing through the difficulties Israel faces in constantly warring with decentralized guerrilla factions, and exploring Israel’s potential responses to Iran’s controlled assault. Wrapping up, Greg and Emma tackle the U.S’ role as a behind-the-scenes broker between Iran and Israel, and assess the devastating impact Israel’s bloodthirst has had on its economy. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they talk with Brendon from San Diego about Harris’ attempt to appeal to the center-right, discuss Trump’s recent invocations of William McKinley, and watch the Longshoreman Union President vocalize support for Julie Su and call out Fox News… all live on Fox. Pamela from Puerto Rico unpacks PR’s shitshow of an election year, Chris Hayes and Ta-Nehisi Coates tackle the “moral abomination” of Israel, and one of Bari Weiss’ many conservative grifter networks does some conservative grifting, plus, your calls and IMs!
