A blast of artic air now blanketing tens of millions from the Midwest to the Northeast. Also, a suspected Chinese balloon spotted over the U.S. Plus, Brian Cheung shares the latest state of the U.S. economy as the newest job report is set to be released today. And, House Republicans vote to remove representative Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee.

Sam and Emma host Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota's 5th District, whose recent book, This Is What America Looks Like: My Journey from Refugee to Congresswoman, is out in paperback now! Representative Omar, Sam, and Emma take on a variety of issues central to the progressive cause as the Biden administration has begun to falter. They begin with key issues on immigration and refugees, as Ilhan Omar touches on the shameful continuation of Trump policies under Biden, particularly exploring the treatments of Afghan and Haitian refugees and the Biden administration's reliance on Title 42, taking on also why he has failed to stick to this campaign promise. Next, they move to the topic of student debt relief, as Congresswoman Omar dives into the mysterious missing memo that stands as the only thing preventing Biden from putting pen to paper with an executive order, and what could be behind the delay, before they jump to the topic of the reconciliation platform and how debt relief may or may not fit in. She, Emma, and Sam also dive into the discussion around reconciliation spending, why a shorter span on funding is easily okay by progressives if Sinema and Manchin will just clarify what they would like, and explore the developing role of the progressive caucus. Then Sam and Emma are joined by comedian Ben Gleib to discuss his recent dust up with Charlie Kirk! They run through the highlights of his very calm discussion with Charlie Kirk, including Kirk's anger and confusion regarding human anatomy, American citizenship, and what his role is within the right.

Sam and Emma host Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota's 5th District, whose recent book, This Is What America Looks Like: My Journey from Refugee to Congresswoman, is out in paperback now!

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: Multiple crises are unfolding with China as the country engages in a border standoff with India and cracks down on protests in the streets of Hong Kong. And Donald Trump’s government seems determined to make the most of the situation. Meanwhile, one-hundred thousand Americans, per the official figures, have now died from COVID-19. As cases climb, why are Democratic governors reopening their states? And lastly, demands for accountability grew in what Congresswoman Ilhan Omar called a police murder in Minneapolis. Protesters there took over a police station last night in a show of outrage over the killing by suffocation of an unarmed black man, George Floyd. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: As of yesterday at least three-hundred and sixty people had been arrested in resurgent protests in Hong Kong. The central government in Beijing passed a new law restricting speech, assembly, and political autonomy for the former British colony. Beijing says the law is necessary to counter foreign interference. And however the US was already mixed up in the Hong Kong protests, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo yesterday threw gas on the fire. Pompeo sent a notice to Congress saying Hong Kong should no longer be considered autonomous. This is a prelude to diplomatic escalation. We could see more trade restrictions like higher tariffs and sanctions on Chinese officials. We could see visa restrictions. We could see more than that, depending. Pompeo’s counterpart, Chinese foreign minister Zhao Lijian, said the country would QUOTE take necessary measures to fight back ENDQUOTE against the US. However the diplomacy plays out, it’s not a good time for the people of Hong Kong. Beijing has ordered thousands of armed police into the streets. They’ve shot pepper spray into crowds and are rounding up and detaining dissidents and students – again. At the same time, China is engaged in a simultaneous border dispute with India. Both countries are sending large numbers of troops to a contested area in the Himalayas. Each has claims about why the other made them do it. Yesterday Trump said he would be willing to mediate the border dispute. As though anyone asked. China certainly wouldn’t see him as an honest broker. America’s relations with its largest trading partner keep getting worse under Trump. And this is no accident. He needs a great big scapegoat to distract from his failure to protect Americans from the coronavirus. And what bigger scapegoat could there be than the world’s most populous country? 100,000 US Coronavirus Deaths The official pandemic death toll in the US passed one-hundred thousand yesterday. More people have died in this country from COVID-19 than any other in the world. And that’s entirely because of the failures of our government, mainly in the White House but to some degree at every level. Experts have reminded the public that those numbers are too low for a variety of reasons, from statistical manipulations to lack of testing and reliability problems with the tests themselves. Cases continue to rise as states reopen. California has become one of four states – after New York, New Jersey, and Illinois – to report a hundred-thousand corona cases. And state health officials there took the opportunity to deliver a grim warning: we are reopening too quickly. As public health officer for Santa Clara County, Doctor Sara Cody led the campaign for a shelter-in-place order in the San Francisco Bay Area. That March 16 decision was one of the earliest lockdown orders in the country, and became the model for similar orders elsewhere. But now Governor Gavin Newsom is letting some counties reopen, and Cody says this will lead to a surge in cases. She says politicians need to wait for at least fourteen days after lifting restrictions to see if new cases subside. But American politicians aren’t heeding this advice. Instead they’re listening to business owners who want their workers to ignore the risk and don’t want to pay taxes to subsidize their wages during the pandemic. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Bay Area has a coronavirus death rate of six per one hundred thousand residents. In New York, by contrast, the virus has killed one-hundred and forty nine people for every hundred-thousand residents. That’s because Newsom listened to Cody before. Government action matters. And what good work has been done to save lives in spite of Donald Trump could be undone because Democratic governors got scared about keeping campaign donors happy. Rioters Occupy Minneapolis Precinct The chorus demanding accountability in the police killing of George Floyd is getting louder. Yesterday the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey; Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar; and Governor Tim Walz all added their voices. Mayor Frey said the county attorney should bring charges against the arresting officer, Derek Chauvin. Videos showed Chauvin suffocating Floyd with his knee on Floyd’s neck for nine minutes as other officers look on. Representative Omar said the officer who killed Floyd, a forty-six-year-old black man recently laid off from his job at a restaurant, should be charged with murder. Someone had called the police on Floyd, claiming he passed a counterfit $20 bill. Yesterday the Minneapolis police department fired four officers involved in Floyd’s killing. And the Federal Bureau of Investigation was reportedly investigating. But none of this was enough to quell growing public disgust with police violence against black and brown people. Protests continued for a second night in Minneapolis. With riots ongoing, Governor Walz said QUOTE our feelings of anger, anguish, and disillusionment are justified ENDQUOTE. Police once again shot tear gas and rubber bullets into crowds indiscriminately. Angry locals took over a Target, an Arby’s, and a Dollar Tree. They also took over a police station, which is not something you see every day. A diverse assemblage of rioters threw bricks and broke windows at the city’s Third Precinct station, where the officers who killed Floyd were based. As night began to fall some got inside and took over the building. At last report, police were still dealing with that situation and with arsons in the immediate area. In Los Angeles, Black Lives Matters protesters demanding for justice for Floyd’s murder shut down the one-oh-one freeway. A California Highway Patrol car drove through a crowd. Video shows a crowd surrounded the state police vehicle on the freeway. It then accelerated after several people were already on the hood. At least one person was injured. It’s hard to miss the contrast in the police response, compared to the recent armed takeovers of multiple state capitols by white, Trump-supporting organized fascist groups. There was no official count of arrests, so you can credit the Chinese Communist Party with more transparency than some American police departments. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: Anthony Fauci is now the first Trump official to clearly say that the president’s favorite miracle cure does not work. The federal infectious diseases director went on CNN last night and said the evidence against hydroxy as a COVID treatment was becoming clear. France this week banned the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19. The World Health Organization also paused trials. Now it’s going to be a big scandal that an American official dared tell the truth. Just because one corrupt idiot took has a personal interest in the matter. A new book by two young conservative journalists claims Bill Clinton was having an affair with Ghislaine Maxwell, alleged accomplice to the sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The book, A Convenient Death, will be published by Penguin Random House, so a libel lawyer at least looked at the claim. The source was reported to be someone who QUOTE witnessed the relationship ENDQUOTE. This was all reported by the New York Post yesterday and the book comes out on June 2, so expect a Trump tweet around then. Police in Brazil raided more than two dozen key online boosters of the president, Jair Bolsonaro. The president’s son Carlos is reported to be a key figure in a well-funded propaganda ring being used to attack political opponents and intimidate dissidents. Opposition politicians praised the move but the regime said it was the victim of a leftwing attack. Several pro-Bolsonaro lawmakers were targeted in the police raids, along with political operatives, at least one far-right blogger and a real-estate tycoon. Trump’s new campaign chief of staff had one big qualification, it turns out: in 2016, she was arrested and charged with conspiracy to violate state election laws. Business Insider broke the story last night. The campaign official, Stephanie Alexander, got promoted on Tuesday from her previous job . The charges were dropped without explanation in 2017, to the dismay of investigators. Alexander allegedly participated in a scheme to conceal dark- money donations. The crime was discovered through text messages after her Republcian operative boyfriend got busted for cocaine.

We met up with Kathleen Vohs, PhD at our Behavioral Grooves Meetup in Minneapolis on the evening that her op-ed article appeared in the Washington Post on July 18, 2019. She had been asked by the newspaper to write a piece explaining how supporters of President Donald Trump could continue backing him in light of his, “send them back” comment in a tweet. The tweet referred to 4 first-term congresswomen of color. All of them are US citizens and only one of them was born outside the United States: Representative Ilhan Omar from Minnesota. Representative Omar is from Kurt and Tim’s district and we were motivated by the situation to groove on the cognitive dissonance that Dr. Vohs wrote about. In this short grooving session, we talk about politics, politicians and cognitive dissonance. We also explore the age-old philosophical question about whether or not a piece of art can be viewed (and appreciated) without the context of the artist.

As someone who grew up in New Jersey, 9/11 was not "just something some people did." Representative Omar's remarks are disgusting and insulting to millions of Americans who remember it, and thousands who were directly affected by it. It's becoming more and more clear this Justice Democrat is working to tear down American institutions. President Trump makes a brilliant move to show the hypocrisy of Leftists regarding Sanctuary Cities. They used to say how Sanctuary Cities were much safer, the economy was better, yada yada yada. Basically they were heaven on earth. But now with the threat of (in their words) the federal government "dumping" illegal immigrants into their cities, they are calling foul and worried it will cause problems. A recent study shows that California citizens are starting to approach "taxuration" where citizens can no longer stand anymore taxes. What does this mean for Gavin Newsom's ambitious plans going forward? That and much more in this episode.

TWITTER URGED TO SUSPEND DONALD TRUMP AFTER PRESIDENT ACCUSED OF ‘SHARING PROPAGANDA VIDEOS TRAFFICKING IN HATE SPEECH’ OVER OMAR ATTACK #MAGAFirstNews with @PeterBoykin U.S. TWITTER URGED TO SUSPEND DONALD TRUMP AFTER PRESIDENT ACCUSED OF ‘SHARING PROPAGANDA VIDEOS TRAFFICKING IN HATE SPEECH’ OVER OMAR ATTACK By Christina Zhao On 4/14/19 at 6:05 PM EDT US President Donald Trump delivers remarks on 5G deployment in the United States on April 12, 2019 in Washington, DC. The Women's March launched a petition on Saturday to get Twitter to suspend President Donald Trump's account after the president posted a video attacking Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar.PHOTO: TOM BRENNER/GETTY IMAGES The Women’s March—a women-led rights advocacy group—urged Twitter to suspend President Donald Trump’s account for posting a video showing Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar intercut with footage of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Trump on Friday — and then again on Saturday — shared a clip of Omar speaking at a banquet in California hosted by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) last month, with the caption “WE WILL NEVER FORGET!” In the footage, Omar can be seen saying "CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something,” edited alongside footage of the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Omar’s out-of-context words were taken from a speech where she said: "Far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second-class citizen, and frankly, I’m tired of it, and every single Muslim in this country should be tired of it…CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties." CAIR was actually founded in 1994, but did grow significantly in prominence in the years after the 2001 attack. “@realDonaldTrump is sharing propaganda videos trafficking in hate speech and inciting real violence against @IlhanMN. We’re calling on @jack to suspend him from @Twitter. Seriously. Add your name here:” the Women’s March tweeted, alongside a link to a petition to “suspend Trump from Facebook and Twitter.” “Trump has launched a despicable and irresponsible attack on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, sharing a propaganda video questioning the Congresswoman's loyalty to the United States,” the petition’s description read. “This is as dangerous as it is unprecedented. Representative Omar is receiving countless death threats as the president of the United States is inciting violence against a Black Muslim sitting member of congress, putting her life at risk.” The petition, which urges Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to “take down Trump’s hateful video and permanently suspend his account,” has gathered over 9,000 signatures since it was launched on Saturday evening. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), and Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, were among several Democrats who have condemned the president’s controversial video. “Members of Congress have a duty to respond to the President’s explicit attack today.@IlhanMN’s life is in danger. For our colleagues to be silent is to be complicit in the outright, dangerous targeting of a member of Congress,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Saturday evening. “We must speak out. ‘First they came…’” Pelosi issued a statement on Sunday demanding Trump remove the “dangerous” post and announcing that she has taken measures to ensure Omar’s safety. “Following the President’s tweet, I spoke with the Sergeant-at-Arms to ensure that Capitol Police are conducting a security assessment to safeguard Congresswoman Omar, her family and her staff. They will continue to monitor and address the threats she faces,” Pelosi said. “The President’s words weigh a ton, and his hateful and inflammatory rhetoric creates real danger. President Trump must take down his disrespectful and dangerous video," she added. Trump, who pinned the video to the top of his Twitter feed on Saturday, re-tweeted his post a day later but appears to have removed the pin by Sunday evening The original video remains on his Twitter feed as of Sunday afternoon. The White House did not immediately respond to Newsweek’s request for comment. Despite repeated calls and petitions accusing Trump of violating Twitter policies, the social media platform has resisted taking any action against his account. In a January 2018 blog post, the company explained — without naming Trump — why it does not hold world leaders to the same standards it holds private citizens. "Blocking a world leader from Twitter or removing their controversial Tweets would hide important information people should be able to see and debate," wrote the company. "It would also not silence that leader, but it would certainly hamper necessary discussion around their words and actions." In an August 2018 interview with Buzzfeed, Dorsey made basically this same argument, though he did seem to indicate that the president could cross a line of accceptability if he attacked a private citizen. "I do believe private citizens versus public figures deserve more of our protection, but it has to be done in the context of how we’re actually seeing our global leaders," said the CEO.  In that same interview, Twitter’s Legal, Policy and Trust & Safety Lead Vijaya Gadde was not as forgiving about things a world leader could say on Twitter.  RELATED STORIES Nancy Pelosi Orders More Omar Security Over Trump Tweet How Pete Buttigieg Plans to Reach Rural Voters Trump Congratulates Tiger Woods On Masters Win Rick Scott: Trump 'Sanctuary City' Threat is Trolling "I think that if you asked me very directly, like, 'is everything the president says, part of public interest?' I would say no, but if you asked me what’s not, I think that it’s going to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis using the criteria we set forth," Gadde clarified to Buzzfeed. "I agree that it is subjective and nuanced and I would like to build more framework around that so we have a more consistent way to enforce going forward."

The gang is joined by lady lawyer, Emma Greenman this week. Sometimes in Minnesota, it piss snows in April. Saying goodbye to even more officials leaving us. It's Steve Miller time! The politicization of immigration, is just not right. The disheveled Julian Assange's arrest. Hands Free, welcome to Minnesota. Alexa is watching, and Amy doesn't care. Spank you and thank you, Representative Omar.

In today's episode, we're joined by Professor Deborah Lipstadt, an expert in Holocaust studies. Professor Lipstadt helps us understand the controversies surrounding the Women's March and Representative Omar, and she advises us on how to thoughtfully discuss and critique America's relationship with Israel. But first, we dive into the week's news. Paul Manafort received 43 additional months in prison from Judge Amy Berman Jackson, and he's been indicted by Manhattan's District Attorney on state charges. After great anticipation, Beto O'Rourke has announced his candidacy for the Democratic Party's nomination. We're a little confused by his splashy Vanity Fair rollout and campaign announcement video. We also talk about Operation Varsity Blues and the state of college admissions, wealth, and parenting in America. Sarah recommended these three episodes of Revisionist History: Carlos Doesn't Remember, Food Fight, and My Little Hundred Million.Thanks again to Professor Lipstadt for joining us in conversation.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Jacqueline Luqman, the co-editor-in-chief of Luqman Nation, which livestreams every Thursday night at 9:00 p.m. on Facebook, and Sputnik News analyst and producer Walter Smolarek.Friday is Loud & Clear’s weekly hour-long segment The Week in Review, about the week in politics, policy, and international affairs. Today they focus on Chelsea Manning being taken back into custody, the smears against Representative Omar all week, and the Venezuelan power outage. 18 of Venezuela’s 23 states were hit yesterday with a massive power outage, which the Maduro Administration blamed on anti-government saboteurs. Senator Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican who has been the Senate’s leading voice against the Maduro government, earlier in the day had called for widespread unrest, and he celebrated the blackout as the beginning of the end of the Venezuelan government. Chuck Kaufman, he is the National Co-Coordinator of the Alliance for Global Justice, joins the show. Our friends and frequent guests Ann Wright and Medea Benjamin over the past two weeks led a peace delegation to Iran, where they met with government officials, peace activists, and regular Iranians. They were public about the trip. They gave interviews and posted their progress on Facebook. But when they returned to Washington last night, they were detained and questioned by the FBI. The hosts also talk about the recent travails of Chelsea Manning in the notorious federal district court for the Eastern District of Virginia. Brian and John speak with Ann Wright, a retired United States Army colonel and former U.S. State Department official in Afghanistan, who resigned in protest of the invasion of Iraq and became a prominent anti-war activist. Yesterday the hosts talked about the five different federal agencies that had created a database to illegally track and harass journalists, activists, and attorneys reporting on or involved with the migrant caravan that made its way to the United States late last year. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said when the story broke that the Mexican government would not cooperate in the scheme with US officials. But, it turns out, that was not true. Juan José Gutiérrez, the executive director of the Full Rights for Immigrants Coalition, joins the show. Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort yesterday was sentenced to 47 months in prison for charges of corruption and tax evasion. Federal prosecutors had asked for 17½ to 24 years. Judge T. S. Ellis said that Manafort had committed serious crimes, but not serious enough for him to spend the rest of his life in prison. The public and media outcry was swift, with many commenting that the decision showed that there is one kind of justice for wealthy white men and another kind of justice for people of color. Manafort will be sentenced in a separate case in Washington next week. Daniel Lazare, a journalist and author of three books—“The Frozen Republic,” “The Velvet Coup,” and “America's Undeclared War,” joins Brian and John. It’s Friday! So it’s time for the week’s worst and most misleading headlines. Brian and John speak with Steve Patt, an independent journalist whose critiques of the mainstream media have been a feature of his site Left I on the News and on twitter @leftiblog, and Sputnik producer Nicole Roussell.

Congressman Brett Guthrie talked about the President’s most recent meeting with Kim Jong Un and North Korea re-building missile sites, tariffs and trade negotiations with China, anti-Semitism/anti-Israel statements made by Representative Omar and in-fighting in the Democratic Party, and more.Listen to his call from Washington D.C. here…

After the explosive conversation earlier this week, Journalist Alex Kotch joins the show to chat about his recent piece in The Guardian "Ilhan Omar is right about the influence of the Israel lobby". Alex goes through a balanced analysis that considers the scope of Israel lobby influence and helps clarify some lingering misstatements about what AIPAC is and how it operates. A piece by Ryan Grim in the Intercept came out in the midst of these attacks on Representative Omar. Alex and Anoa also discuss who to critique the influence of the lobby while avoiding antisemitic tropes.

A conversation on antisemitism, it's history and the most recent controversy concerning Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota), one of the two Muslim women to have serve in Congress.  Last week in a series of tweets suggested that AIPAC (The American Israel Public Affairs Committee) use money in order to influence U.S. policy to defend Israel. Representative Omar was widely condemned including by democrat speaker Nancy Pelosi for being antisemitic. Others however have rallied behind Omar saying there's nothing wrong with pointing out AIPAC's influence on Capitol Hill. Guest: Dr. Penny Rosenwasser is a social justice activist. She is the author of the book Hope Into Practice: Jewish Women Choosing Justice Despite Our Fears. The post Anti-Semitism and Its History appeared first on KPFA.
