It's Casual Friday on the Majority Report On today's program: Dr. Oz lies about ACA premiums and claims the 114% average increase reported by KFF News had been retracted. It has not been retracted, in fact that projection is featured prominently on the front page of their website. National affairs correspondent at The Nation, Jeet Heer joins the show to wrap the week's news. Emma, Sam and Jeet discuss Venezuela, the shutdown, the Heritage Foundation and more. In the Fun Half: At a NYC Democratic Power and Unity Gala, a video of Chuck Schumer addressing the attendees is played as everyone ignores it and swarms Zohran Mamdani. A retired cop and known liberal poster in middle Tennessee was jailed for over 35 days for posting a meme on Facebook. Mike Johnson claims that Democrats are busy campaigning instead of trying to save critical SNAP benefits. The projection is almost unbelievable. We take a look at a compilation of ICE / CBP agents harassing people for simply filming their activities. A legendary patriot intervenes in an ICE stop and helps the terrorized citizens get home safely. Check out the full video here.

In this episode, Tara unpacks Donald Trump's latest Truth Social post urging Republicans to “initiate the nuclear option” and scrap the filibuster — a move that could reshape the balance of power in Washington. She explores whether Trump means a full repeal or a targeted approach for continuing resolutions and how this strategy plays into the GOP's struggle to pass a new budget amid mounting pressure from Democrats. With holiday travel chaos looming and a $200 billion demand for illegal immigrant health care at stake, Tara highlights the high-risk political chess game unfolding in D.C. The episode closes on a festive note as listeners call in with eerie Halloween tales — proving that even in politics, there's room for a good scare.

Last week, the province released an ad featuring former U.S. President Ronald Reagan decrying the use of tariffs. At first, Donald Trump liked the ad, saying he would have put out the same if he was in Canada's position. Then he had a hissy fit and announced retaliatory tariffs on Canada if the ad wasn't taken down immediately. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath discuss the fallout of the ad and whether this will ultimately benefit Ontario's push toward a tariff-free future. The province has backtracked on a controversial plan to effectively end rent control. Steve and John Michael dig into why the government reversed its decision and who would have benefitted from a policy like this. Doug Ford is putting a stop to fixed election dates in Ontario. It's a big change and runs contrary to fixed-election laws in most other provinces and territories in Canada. Steve and JMM discuss why the government wanted to get rid of it and whether the law was effective in the first place.

This is episode 4, which covers what happened after the play closed, with readings of letters from the time, official records, and discussion with our expert panel.

Jon Herold unpacks a historic week in global politics, starting with Trump's high-stakes G2 Summit with Xi Jinping in South Korea. From nuclear submarine deals and shipbuilding contracts to China's agreement to buy U.S. oil, gas, and soybeans, Jon connects the dots between trade, tariffs, and Trump's bold announcement to resume nuclear testing for the first time in 30 years. He highlights the geopolitical chess game behind Trump's “12 out of 10” meeting and the new U.S.–China energy partnership that could reshape global power. Back home, Jon digs into Chuck Grassley's bombshell revelations about “Operation Arctic Frost,” where the FBI subpoenaed over 400 Republicans and conservative organizations, exposing the DOJ's weaponized political targeting. Between live chat chaos, jokes about Fort Knox, and a few nuclear memes, Jon ties it all together with signature Badlands wit and insight, proving that in a world this explosive, sometimes you just have to laugh.

BT & Sal aggressively argue that being a College Football Head Coach is the absolute best job in sports, not because of the coaching, but because of the contracts. They highlight Brian Kelly's $50+ million buyout from LSU after a failure, calling the position the "Golden Ticket" and the "ultimate parachute." The hosts contrast the low-pressure, high-reward CFB job with the rigorous, results-based NFL (asking if you'd rather be Daboll or Kelly), concluding that college coaches are financially set even if they fail spectacularly. The discussion then pivots to the NFL, where they debate whether the struggling Giants should call Bill Belichick, who they believe is "ruining his legacy" at UNC.

Esta quincena, presentamos ‘Gambit', el último episodio doble de TNG antes del esperado final de ‘All good things…'. Nuestra conclusión es que hubiera destacado entre los episodios simples pero no destaca entre los episodios dobles. Aún así, tenemos a los protagonistas en papeles diferentes a los habituales, con un Picard capturado por unos piratas y ejerciendo de arqueólogo mercenario, y a Riker, también capturado por los mismos piratas, jugando a ser un rebelde de la Flota Estelar. Pero lo más estelar del episodio son los invitados, con Robin Curtis, aka Teniente Saavik en Star Trek III, y James Worthy, el mítico #42 de Los Angeles Lakers de Magic Johnson. A pesar de la falta de voz de Jesús, nos explayamos en una entrada que se alarga hasta el minuto 41.

Carl-Edwin Michel rencontre Pascal Nataf, cofondateur de l'Indie Asylum, pour parler de la création de Gambit Digital, le tout premier éditeur de jeux vidéo fondé au Québec. Un projet né d'un constat : les studios d'ici savent créer des jeux exceptionnels, mais manquent souvent de leviers pour les commercialiser et conserver leurs retombées économiques. Avec Gambit, l'objectif est clair : redonner le pouvoir aux créateurs québécois, renforcer la filière locale et faire du Québec un acteur international du publishing. Un tournant stratégique pour une industrie qui veut désormais garder ses succès… chez elle.

In today's Daily Fix:Disney's Tron: Ares is glitching at the box office. The Jared Leto-led movie pulled in $33.5 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend, lower than Leto's 2022 flop Morbius, which earned $39 million domestic in its opening weekend. Globally, Tron: Ares sits at just over $60 million, and faces a steep climb to earn back its $180 million production budget. In other movie news, Channing Tatum says his solo Gambit movie was a little too much for Disney. The movie was going to be an R-rated rom-com andwould've featured "mutants having sex." Gambit was stuck in development hell and eventually dropped, but Tatum was able to finally put on the Cajun accent for Deadpool & Wolverine. Tatum is also featured in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. And take a peek into a four-park family vacation at Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, Universal Volcano Bay, and the newest park, Universal Epic Universe.Presented by Universal Orlando Resort.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul take a sharp, unscripted dive into the chaos of current geopolitics, unpacking Trump's fiery exchange with China over rare earths, the suspicious Nobel Peace Prize for Venezuela's Maria Corina Machado, and the deeper symbolism behind the global decoupling movement. They tackle everything from fake narratives about Maduro and democracy to the CIA shake-up involving Michael Ellis and the shocking sale of Dominion Voting Systems to “Liberty Vote.” With wit, skepticism, and a dash of humor, Jon and Chris connect the dots between global power plays, information ops, and America's unraveling media facade. It's a dense, unfiltered breakdown of who's really running the show, and how the Devolution theory continues to prove itself in real time.

The X-Men '97 season 2 trailer is here! Let's discuss in DETAIL! Adventures of Cyclops & Phoenix! Rise of Apocalypse! Polaris! Kid Omega! Lady Deathstrike! X-Factor! There is SO MUCH to discuss!

History rarely repeats itself, especially speculative bubbles. As it becomes increasingly obvious that today's AI bubble will dramatically burst, the real question is not when but how.What makes this boom profoundly different from the DotCom crash of the nineties is OpenAI's attempt to create an AI private monopoly by positioning itself at the center of trillions of dollars worth of self-serving “deals”. Sam Altman wants to simultaneously be the gambler, the slot machine owner, and the house. It's a gamble that is, of course, brazenly rigged: he's trying to simultaneously make OpenAI too important to fail and too well-financed to go public.That Was The Week's Keith Teare cutely describes this imperial play as “Come To Daddy.” But it's more complicated—and more dangerous. By weaving OpenAI into the heart of America's AI economy, Altman isn't just building a company; he's constructing a systemic chokepoint not just for Silicon Valley and Wall Street, but possibly for an entire global economy dependent on AI exuberance for growth. If there's a historical analogy, it's the banking crisis of 2008. The US government bailed out the banks because they were supposedly too big to fail. The same will likely happen with the coming AI crash, especially given bipartisan American hysteria over the China threat —only this time, the crisis will center on OpenAI as both the dominant cause and the primary casualty of the crash. Here history might, indeed repeat itself: privatized gains during the boom, socialized losses during the bust.Sam is dealing. Heads he wins, tails we all lose. Yes, the house always wins, especially when it is powered by OpenAI chips and wearing a ChatGPT hoodie.1. OpenAI's Platform Play Is Eliminating StartupsOpenAI's developer day introduced an agent development platform, embedded ChatGPT applications, and Sora video generation—directly competing with dozens of startups. Keith Teare observed that over half of the 58 AI companies showcased at Andreessen Horowitz the next day had lost their competitive positioning overnight. OpenAI is no longer just a product company; it's becoming a comprehensive platform that absorbs innovation opportunities across the AI landscape.2. Potential Market Dominance Raises Competition QuestionsStatistics from SQ Magazine claim OpenAI controls 88% of global AI interactions, with Anthropic at 8% and Google under 3%. While these figures require verification, such concentration would represent one of technology's most rapid consolidations and raise fundamental questions about competition and innovation in the AI sector.3. “Industrial Policy by Private Contract” Signals New State-Corporate PartnershipOpenAI's relationship with the Trump administration suggests an emerging model of state capitalism without direct government funding. The state facilitates deals between major players and benefits through future taxation and ownership stakes in certain projects. OpenAI has become strategically essential for U.S. economic competitiveness against China—suggesting that no future administration, Republican or Democrat, could allow the company to fail. This creates an implicit government backstop without traditional public investment.4. Infrastructure Funding Remains the Critical ChallengeAI requires approximately 10 gigawatts of power annually for the next decade—translating to trillions in data centers, chips, and energy costs. Recent deals involving Nvidia, AMD, and Oracle's $500 billion Stargate project are down payments, not solutions. Energy costs remain a key constraint, with nuclear and solar options still expensive relative to demand.5. The Speculative Age Concentrates WealthAndreessen Horowitz's Alec Danco describes our current “speculative age” as defined by timing and short-term positioning. Unlike previous tech booms where retail investors could buy stock, OpenAI equity remains inaccessible to most, concentrating wealth among institutional investors and insiders while speculative energy redirects into prediction markets and gambling.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Avengers: Doomsday Trailer Release Date & Cryptic Photo, DCU Batman Casting Wars, AI Actress INSANE Controversy — Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau go LIVE to break down the latest Marvel & DC news! The Russo Brothers just shared a mysterious “Look Hard…” photo from the Avengers: Doomsday (2026) set, teasing fans with hidden details while a major leak from SFX artist Gi Ponci revealed new suits for the X-Men (Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Gambit), Fantastic Four (Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, Ben Grimm), Namor, Thor, Silver Surfer, and even Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom. On top of that, reports say the Avengers: Doomsday trailer is coming this December, and Channing Tatum is hyping it up as the wildest Marvel movie yet — bigger than Blade's Deadpool & Wolverine cameo! Plus, Ryan Reynolds is reportedly developing his own mutants team-up movie for the MCU's next saga. Meanwhile in the DCU, everyone wants to be Batman — but who has actually gone on record? We'll run down the names fans are buzzing about, while James Gunn teased two unannounced movie scripts, one mystery TV project, and updates on Supergirl. In Marvel TV, Daredevil: Born Again writer Jesse Wigutow revealed a scrapped “bottle episode” pairing Punisher & Echo — would that have worked? Over on Max, Peacemaker Season 2 keeps building toward Superman: Man of Tomorrow and Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor, while fans still debate the AI actress Tilly Norwood controversy. And for other wild news: Universal is developing The Mummy 4 with hopes for Brendan Fraser's return (but will audiences embrace it or reject another “old man sequel”?), and Lionsgate is scripting a Samurai Western spin-off in the John Wick Universe. Should Wick expand or bow out gracefully? We're covering it all tonight. Join the Reject Nation as we react, speculate, and debate across the MCU, DCU, and beyond — from Avengers: Doomsday and Spider-Man: Brand New Day to Gunn's DC plans, The Mummy 4, John Wick, and the future of comic book movies!

We review X-Men of Apocalypse and Batman Deadpool. Two comics from September of 2025

For a quarter century, Washington policymakers made a strategic bet on India premised on the belief that shared values, shared interests, and a shared strategic convergence in Asia would bind these two countries together as ‘natural allies' in the twenty-first century. All of this optimistic talk came crashing down to Earth a few months ago with the Trump administration's decision to slap 25 percent tariffs on Indian exports. This was exacerbated by a second decision to add an additional 25 percent tariff on India for its import of Russia oil. Taken together, these policy measures plunged U.S.-India relations into their most significant crisis since the late 1990s and the era of U.S. sanctions on India in the wake of the latter's nuclear tests.How did we get here? Where are we now? And where might we be going? These are the questions Milan takes up on this week's show with guest Ashley J. Tellis. Tellis is the Tata Chair for Strategic Affairs at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and is well-known to Grand Tamasha listeners as one of the sanest, wisest voices on South Asia and U.S.-India relations, more specifically. Milan and Ashley discuss the policy of U.S. “strategic altruism” toward India, the ongoing trade negotiations between the United States and India, and Modi's recent visit to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) meeting in China. Plus, the two discuss the latest turn in U.S.-Pakistan relations and whether the thaw in China-India relations is sustainable. Episode notes:1. Robert D. Blackwill and Ashley J.

Armed American Radio's Mark Walters joins Cam to discuss Sen. Chris Murphy's recent admission that a gun control "litmus test" isn't good for Democrats, as well as why Murphy's call for a bigger tent on 2A issues won't play well in Democrat circles.
