#440 - The Toronto International Film Festival 2025, Ft. A Serious Rock

In today’s two-parter, we start off with more coverage of the assassination of Charlie Kirk: what it means, possible motives, and the tidal wave of right-wing cancel culture it has wrought. Will then interviews journalist Pablo Torre of Pablo Torre Finds Out about recently unearthed collusion in the NFL, with a story that starts with Deshaun Watson and goes all the way up to the Carlyle Group and Hollywood pedophilia. What can a conflict between millionaire jocks and billionaire owners tell us about American labor relations? And why is Kawhi Leonard getting paid $28 million to plant trees?

Charlie Kirk & Israel’s Losing War Noura Erakat, Mouin Rabbani, & Due Dissidence

It's Casual Friday on the Majority Report On Today's Show: Trump's authoritarianism is here and there is no denying it at this point. Meanwhile, the stats on spending show that the economy is benefiting only the top 20%. Unemployment and prices are both rising, and when a Fox News reporter pressed him on this, Trump dismissed their polling as “trash” and said the pollster should be fired. Columnist at The Nation, David Klion joins us to discuss Bari Weiss' new role as top advisor at CBS News. In the Fun Half: Ezra Klein and Ross Douthat smell their farts in a faux intellectual conversation about the state of the Democratic party. Trump goes on a confusing rant where he claims he will lower medication prices 1000% but also claims prices will double. ICE officers in Van Nuys, California brutally beat-up an 80-year-old American citizen car wash owner, breaking his ribs and hospitalizing him. Kat Abughazaleh also gets brutally thrown on the street by an ICE agent. Andrew Schulz's co-hosts debate how far the attacks on free speech from the Trump administration will go. All that and more.
