Podcast appearances and mentions of shawn fain

Air Date 6/18/2025 Critics of capitalism like us often advocate for the system to come to an end and be replaced with another that aligns better with human needs and continued existence. Well, it's possible that the system is close to having run its course and will be making way for something different. Unfortunately, the natural course of capitalism is to concentrate wealth and, by extension, power so that's what's happened and we're now getting close to basically reinventing feudalism. So, wrong direction. Full Show Notes Check out our new show, SOLVED! on YouTube! Join our Discord community! KEY POINTS KP 1: The End of Capitalism: What comes next is worse.

Why is the US unlikely to have a manufacturing revival, and who would benefit if it did? What happens to the rest of the world when the US tries to reshore manufacturing? What makes national security and labor power antagonistic to each other? What problems does worker-to-worker organizing solve? Why has organized labor been in decline since 1979? What's the relationship between social movements like Black Lives Matter and labor militancy? And what is the prospect that Shawn Fain's idea of a general strike in 2028 actually happens? Many questions, many answers as labor historian Dr. Eric Blanc joins Dr. Van Jackson to talk about the future of the working class in a MAGA-dominated world. Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee: https://workerorganizing.orgSubscribe to Eric's Newsletter: https://www.laborpolitics.com Subscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.com/ Watch The Un-Diplomatic Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@un-diplomaticpodcast Catch Un-Diplomatic on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/undiplomaticpodcast

United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain joins to discuss his stance on Trump's tariffs. Plus, Rep. Gregory Meeks, the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, on why Democrats fear Trump's economic policy is causing international damage and shaking the global financial order.

The president of one of America's largest industrial unions made headlines last month when he declared that some of Trump's tariffs are the beginning of the end of a trade policy that has harmed America's working class. On this episode of Lever Time, David Sirota speaks to United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain about blue-collar workers' experience with 30 years of existing free trade policies. They discuss whether Trump's new tariffs will end up doing more harm than good. They also discuss Fain's assertion that Democrats have too often taken the labor movement for granted — especially when it comes to championing corporate-written trade policies, which he says have ended up alienating Democrats from the working class.

Shawn Fain, the President of the United Automobile Workers Union, joins Face the Nation to discuss the Trump administration's new auto tariffs and the challenges facing organized labor.

Tonight on The Last Word: Concerns grow over the GOP-led elections board in Georgia. Also, the Montana seat may be key to Democrats keeping Senate control. Plus, Donald Trump makes a bizarre claim that nuclear weapons are the biggest threat to the Michigan auto industry. And Vladimir Putin is accused of war crimes against Ukraine. Sen. Raphael Warnock, Sen. Jon Tester, Shawn Fain, and Oleksandra Matviichuk join Lawrence O'Donnell.

A year ago at this time, members of the United Auto Workers Union were feeling powerful and optimistic. The group's new President Shawn Fain had called a historic strike. For the first time, the Union walked out on ALL three big automakers. It was a bold move that by most measures worked. It ultimately brought Ford, GM and Stellantis much closer to the union's demands for historic raises and new job protections. The strike's success had people predicting a bigger and more powerful union.A year on the union is still staring down some major challenges.

Vice President Kamala Harris speaks at the Democratic National Convention tonight, formalizing her rapid ascent to the top of the Democratic ticket and capping a very unusual path to the nomination.No primary. No serious opposition. No real robust sense of what her legislative priorities might be.On today's show, a quest to answer this question: Is a Harris-led Democratic Party substantively different than the Democratic Party of Joe Biden?As they all gathered in Chicago, we put that question to Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Shawn Fain, the president of the United Auto Workers union — and the man hosting Democrats in his town, Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson.

Trump will remove everything they put into place, the people will the economy grow. The unemployment numbers are an illusion, the Fed is basing everything off of fake numbers. The Fed is ready to cut the rates in September. The DNC is a complete disaster, ratings are falling and the illusion is now disappearing. The storm is approaching which means the economy is going to crash, the country will be attacked and war is on the horizon. The people will be faced with a major choice. Go with the party that is destroying the world or choose the man that wants peace.

BIDENOMICS: General Motors Announces Cuts of 1,000 Software Engineers, 600 in Michigan – The Day After UAW President Endorses Commie Kamala at DNC UAW president Shawn Fain endorsed commie Kamala Harris at the DNC Convention on Monday. On Monday night United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain endorsed Kamala Harris at the DNC Convention in Chicago. Fain called Kamala Harris a “fighter” for the working class and denounced Donald Trump as a “scab.” During President Trump's first term, he prioritized bringing manufacturing back to America.  And that is exactly what he did. According to a 2019 White House report: President Trump followed through on his pledge to workers across the country that he would bring back American manufacturing – with more than 500,000 new manufacturing jobs created since the election. Manufacturing job growth soared to a more than two decade high in 2018, bringing opportunity to communities that had been left behind. Manufacturer optimism has skyrocketed under President Trump, reaching a new record high last year. Thanks to President Trump's pro-growth policies, manufacturers are deciding to keep their factories running and jobs here in America. Across the country, our Nation's great aluminum and steel mills are roaring back to life thanks to the tariffs put in place by the President. Joe Biden put pressure on manufacturers, destroyed the energy sector in America with job-killing regulations, and pushed his expensive green agenda. Joe Biden's EPA also forced car manufacturers to produce electric vehicles. This was a manufacturing disaster.

The department store operator said Wednesday in a statement that sales in the second quarter through Aug. 3 fell 3.8% to $4.9 billion, missing the Goldman Sachs consensus of $5.10/$5.06 billion. "In the second quarter, we began to see the customer become even more discerning," CEO Tony Spring said in an interview, as quoted by Bloomberg. Spring continued, "We did not see any material change in our traffic.

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with Jasper Nathaniel, writer of the Infinite Jaz newsletter on SubStack, to discuss his recent reporting from the West Bank. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Day 1 of the DNC (and the protests it was met with), Blinken's pseudo-ceasefire, Dems' economic agenda, Elon's Twitter flop, the legal woes of Bob Menendez and George Santos, and Mexico's judiciary, before parsing through Shawn Fain's fantastic performance at the DNC, and the stark differences between AOC's disappointing “reference” to the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and Warnock's willingness to call out (even with both-sidesism) the mass deaths. Jasper Nathaniel then joins, diving right into how the complete appropriation of the Genocide in Gaza for domestic culture war purposes in the US pushed him to go to the West Bank for a more grounded approach to covering this one-sided conflict, tackling his level of understanding about Israeli apartheid and settler violence before his arrival, and how that was sharply upended when he was met with a constant and totalistic pervasion of cruelty and terror, be it from soldier or settler, enacted upon the Palestinian populations in the West Bank. Expanding on this, Nathaniel contextualizes his time in Masafer Yatta within the villages' history as a supposed “military training zone,” something Israel enacted in the 1980s with the explicit intention to eventually claim said land themselves, something they advanced with decades of allowing settler gangs to roam uninhibited by law and unaccountable for their violence, culminating in Netanyahu's recent decision to completely hand over West Bank rule to settler rule under Smotrich. Next, Jasper walks Sam and Emma through a devastating, first-hand recounting of the violence he witnessed in Masafer Yatta, with a settler's shooting of unarmed teenager Zakaria al-Adra, and the active obstruction and inaction from the Israeli regime in charge of holding said settler accountable, before wrapping up the interview by emphasizing the pervasiveness and extremity of the settler terror regime. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma parse through some more highlights from Night 1 of the DNC, including Gov. Hochul's tough crowd work, the stronger elements of AOC's speech (and what it tells us about her future), and the importance of Biden acknowledging his ideological break with the Dem's neoliberal ideology. John from San Antonio dives into the biggest obstacles to a Harris presidency, and Charlie Kirk gets schooled by the very demographic he's supposed to appeal to. Lucas from Delaware on platforming Lina Khan, Drew from Wisconsin on Harris' LGBTQ+ policy, and Mike from Vancouver on Harris' theoretical support for UNRWA.

Steve Gruber discusses news and headlines 

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/12/2024): 3:05pm- Green Energy Costs Automakers 2,450 Jobs: The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes, “Stellantis is showing what the real green-energy transition looks like: On Friday the auto maker announced plans to lay off 2,450 workers in Michigan as it ramps up electric-vehicle production…Car makers are struggling to sell higher-priced cars as consumers pull back after three years of inflation. At the same time, the rich labor agreement that Stellantis, Ford and GM struck last autumn with the United Auto Workers is raising costs. The companies need healthy profits from gas-powered trucks to subsidize their money-losing EV production. Hence Stellantis's scramble to slash costs. The company last month announced buyouts for salaried workers in the U.S. On Friday it said it will lay off as many as 2,450 production workers in Warren, Mich., where it produces its classic Ram 1500 pickup, as it rolls out a new electric model. Workers can send a thank you card to UAW president Shawn Fain.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/the-real-green-energy-transition-auto-maker-layoffs-stellantis-6fea81f9?mod=opinion_lead_pos2 3:15pm- Copyin Kamala or CopyCat Kamala: During a recent campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris advocated for a new policy which would end taxes on tips. Doesn't that sound familiar? Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been openly campaigning on a “No Tax On Tips” pledge for months. Also worth noting, Harris was the tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act—which expanded the size of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and consequently its ability to crackdown on unpaid tips. 3:40pm- While speaking with Jonathan Karl on ABC's This Week, Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance said of Kamala Harris's failed attempt to crackdown on unlawful migration: "We have a wide-open Southern border because our border czar actually set a lot of open border policies." 4:05pm- NIH Violated First Amendment, Deleted “Animal Testing”: Emma Camp of Reason.com writes: “The National Institutes of Health (NIH) violated the First Amendment rights of animal rights activists whose social media comments were deleted by the agency, a federal appeals court ruled last week. The agency had been deleting all comments on its Facebook and Instagram pages that contained certain keywords related to criticism of the agency's use of animal testing. Comments containing words like animal, testing, and cruel were singled out for deletion as part of a broader policy of deleting ‘off-topic' comments.” You can read the full article here: https://reason.com/2024/08/06/the-nih-deleted-comments-criticizing-animal-testing-a-federal-court-says-that-violates-the-first-amendment/ 4:30pm- Biden Had Health Scare Prior to Dropping Out of Race: Managing Editor Noor Ibrahim of The Daily Beast writes: “Officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department rushed to clear roads and secure the perimeter of a hospital that had been placed on standby to treat President Joe Biden for a medical issue last month, according to radio transmission recordings obtained by the Daily Beast. It remains unclear what exactly the undisclosed medical issue was, though the White House announced later that day he had been diagnosed with COVID-19…The radio transmissions were broadcast on July 17, after the president abruptly canceled a speaking engagement on a campaign trip in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he was set to address Hispanic voters at the UnidosUS event.” You can read the full report here:  https://www.thedailybeast.com/listen-vegas-cops-scramble-to-secure-hospital-for-biden-health-scare?ref=author 5:05pm- While speaking with CBS News chief election correspondent Robert Costa, President Joe Biden briefly mentioned Nancy Pelosi by name when asked about dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. Biden quickly caught himself and pivoted. But as Rich notes, we all know Pelosi (along with Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, and former Obama Administration officials) played a crucial role in removing Biden from the top of the Democrat Party's 2024 ticket. 5:20pm- During an interview with Jen Psaki, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi called Joe Biden one of the greatest presidents ever—but that he was not on a path toward victory in 2024, suggesting the switch from Biden to Kamala Harris was entirely about winning. 5:30pm- During his interview with CBS News chief election correspondent Robert Costa, President Joe Biden called Donald Trump a “genuine danger to American security.” Shouldn't Biden moderate the rhetoric considering Trump was nearly assassinated less than a month ago? 5:40pm- Minnesota Bartender Says Walz's COVID Policies Bankrupted Her Business: Steven Vago and Chris Nesi of The New York Post report: “A former Minnesota bar owner who now commutes two hours a day to sling suds in neighboring Wisconsin said Gov. Tim Walz's restrictive pandemic-era lockdowns in the state ‘decimated' local businesses—and caused financial ruin for those who stood up for their livelihoods. ‘I think he's an evil man who overstepped his role as the governor. He took small businesses and ripped them up. He destroyed us,' Lisa Zarza, 52, told The Post.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/08/11/us-news/minnesota-bar-owner-says-evil-tim-walz-forced-her-into-bankruptcy-with-covid-closures/ 6:05pm- Copyin Kamala or CopyCat Kamala: During a recent campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris advocated for a new policy which would end taxes on tips. Doesn't that sound familiar? Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been openly campaigning on a “No Tax On Tips” pledge for months. Also worth noting, Harris was the tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act—which expanded the size of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and consequently its ability to crackdown on unpaid tips. 6:10pm- According to reports, at her recent rally in Arizona, Kamala Harris required attendees to provide identification before being permitted to enter the event. Ironically, in the past, Harris has suggested voter ID laws are racist. 6:15pm- Director of Public Prosecutions of England and Wales Stephen Parkinson explained that the United Kingdom will criminally punish citizens that repost messages the government deems “hateful.” He also explained that he will appropriate “dedicated police officers” to monitor social media. Similarly, UK Police Commissioner Mark Rowley has threatened to extradite and imprison American citizens over online posts. With Democrat vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz having stated that the First Amendment shouldn't extend to speech the government considers “misinformation” or “hate speech,” could similar laws restricting speech be part of the Harris-Walz campaign's platform? 6:30pm- Taylor Riggs—co-anchor of Fox Business's The Big Money Show—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Bidenomics and the impact it has had on the U.S. economy. Plus, did Kamala Harris really just steal Donald Trump's “No Tax On Tips” policy? 6:40pm- Congressman Ryan Zinke—Representative for Montana's 1st Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's recent campaign rally in Montana.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- Green Energy Cost's Automakers 2,450 Jobs: The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes, “Stellantis is showing what the real green-energy transition looks like: On Friday the auto maker announced plans to lay off 2,450 workers in Michigan as it ramps up electric-vehicle production…Car makers are struggling to sell higher-priced cars as consumers pull back after three years of inflation. At the same time, the rich labor agreement that Stellantis, Ford and GM struck last autumn with the United Auto Workers is raising costs. The companies need healthy profits from gas-powered trucks to subsidize their money-losing EV production. Hence Stellantis's scramble to slash costs. The company last month announced buyouts for salaried workers in the U.S. On Friday it said it will lay off as many as 2,450 production workers in Warren, Mich., where it produces its classic Ram 1500 pickup, as it rolls out a new electric model. Workers can send a thank you card to UAW president Shawn Fain.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/the-real-green-energy-transition-auto-maker-layoffs-stellantis-6fea81f9?mod=opinion_lead_pos2 3:15pm- Copyin Kamala or CopyCat Kamala: During a recent campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris advocated for a new policy which would end taxes on tips.

Vance said of Kamala Harris's failed attempt to crackdown on unlawful migration: "We have a wide-open Southern border because our border czar actually set a lot of open border policies."

Both presidential tickets are officially locked in, but the two campaigns could not be offering more different visions of America. While Vice President Kamala Harris leans into the issues and the future, Donald Trump is back to his usual rambling and nonstop lying. Plus, United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain joins to discuss the union's endorsement of Harris-Walz and warning about Donald Trump.

Both EV makers report substantial losses, raising concerns about their future sustainability amid competitive pressure from Tesla.Rivian lost $32,705 per vehicle delivered and reported a $1.46 billion net loss in Q2, a 21% increase from last year, despite a 9% rise in vehicle sales. Lucid lost a whopping $112,688 and posted a $790 million net loss in Q2,. Despite record sales of its Air sedan, the company's financial performance remains deeply concerning.Tesla's Cybertruck has been a subject of fascination and debate since its unveiling, with over 1 million reservations in the bag. However, the reality of converting those reservations into sales is proving to be more challenging.Tesla lowered the deposit requirement to $100, raising concerns about the seriousness of these reservations.The "Foundation Series" Cybertruck is currently being sold at $100,000, bundling all options together.Reports indicate Tesla is struggling to find buyers for these high-priced trucks, even reaching out to recent reservation holdersIn a heated exchange of words, UAW President Shawn Fain takes aim at Donald Trump, calling him a "scab" who "doesn't know sh*t about the auto industry." Meanwhile, Trump has seemingly shifted his stance on electric vehicles after Elon Musk's endorsement.UAW President Shawn Fain publicly denounced Trump at a speech in Detroit, calling him a “scab” and accusing him of being clueless about the auto industry. At a weekend rally, Trump admits he supports electric vehicles because “"I'm for electric cars. I have to be, because Elon endorsed me very strongly. So I have no choice," Trump also noted that he supports electric vehicles "for a small slice." He went on to add: "You want to have gas-propelled cars, you want to have hybrids, you want to have every kind of a car imaginable."A new YouGov survey reveals intriguing generational differences in sock preferences, particularly among Gen Z.

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Ari Berman, national voting rights correspondent at Mother Jones, author of Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People—and the Fight to Resist It, to discuss President Biden's recent proposals to reform the Supreme Court. Then, he speaks with Adam Johnson, co-host of the Citations Needed podcast & writer at The Column newsletter on SubStack, to discuss labor unions efforts to gain commitments from the Harris campaign to stop sending military aid to Israel. Then, he speaks with Seth Fleisher & Emily Baldwin, co-founders of the political action organization Walk the Walk! First, Sam runs through updates on Israel's major escalations in Iran and Lebanon, US Presidential polling, student debt relief, Project 2025, JD Vance's misogyny, the Trump would-be-assassin, elections in Arizona and Venezuela, reports on the mass deaths of native children at US boarding schools, rising homelessness and rents, and the passage of COSA, before diving into the major developments in Kamala Harris' Veepstakes. Ari Berman then joins, diving right into the complete untethering of the 6-3 conservative majority US Supreme Court from any jurisprudence or ideology, and it's all-around corruption exposed over the last few years. Berman then looks to Biden's new platform for reforming the Supreme Court, taking a moment to walk through each of the three major elements on this agenda, including 18 year term-limits with 2-years between nominations, an ethics code, and a constitutional amendment to undo the recent decision on presidential immunity. Adam Johnson and Sam then walk through the major push by unions in recent months to challenge the Biden Administration's support for and arming of Israel's ethnic cleansing of Gaza, with Shawn Fain going as far as to consider the UAW unendorsing Biden, before looking to the current moment, tackling their response to Harris all-but taking Biden's place on the ticket. Stepping back, Adam walks through the evolution of the Biden Administration's approach to the “ceasefire” demand, from banning the use of related terms outright to now using the hope of one (and the supposed negotiations) as a tantalizing carrot, redefining the conversation away from the US using their leverage to push a cessation of hostilities to now what is largely an Israeli PR strategy focused on the supposed “facilitation” of negotiations, despite the obvious bad faith intentions. Wrapping up, Johnson assesses the narrative around Harris' approach to Gaza, why her stance remains unclear to both unions and the public, and what to expect from her campaign moving forwards. Lastly, Seth Fleisher and Emily Baldwin join in as they walk through Walk the Walk's project to refocus energy, labor, and money to grassroots, progressive organizing, tackling the major dearth of funds and labor in the vast majority of down-ballot races, as well as the importance of relying on existing grassroots organizations to build on and strengthen networks of community trust and civil engagement. After expanding on the major races and organizations they are working with during this election cycle, they wrap up with what we can do to join the effort. And in the Fun Half: Sam watches Tim Pool fantasize about his Lord and Savior Donald Trump and Jesse Watters walks through the bio-political process of gender fluidity. Mark Robinson questions the low-effort selfishness of Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, which JD Vance expands on, and Hung Cao discusses saving Virginia from Monterey Bay Wiccans. The MR Team reflects on John Bolton's coup credentials, Donald Trump doubles down on his insistence on Jews voting for him, plus, your IMs!

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, they run through updates on Day 1 of the RNC, Trump's VP pick, Elon's $45m/month pledge to Trump, the background of Trump's would-be assassin, Trump's legal woes, Biden's sinking polling, the US economy, immigration and the border, and RFK and Cornel West's ballot access, also parsing through Trump's pick of JD Vance as his VP, why it's a financial (rather than electoral) choice, and what to make of Vance's unsurprising 180º on Trump since 2016. Next, they shift focus back to the RNC as the GOP puts the assassination attempt (but notably not the victims) at the forefront of the conference and watch the Teamsters' Sean O'Brien immediately lose his audience as he shifts from the “both sides” lauding of GOP Representatives to discussing actual working-class issues. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Shawn Fain show why he's the better union-Shawn with a call to action for May Day 2028, react to the breaking news of Bob Menendez' guilty charge(s), and Sam unpacks his feelings on the increasingly-obvious right-wing rat-fuck campaign of RFK Jr. as a call between him and Trump leaks. GOP Leadership has a tough Johnson showing from both Mike and Ron, and the MR Team tackles Biden's recent interview with Lester Holt and the increasingly frustrating future of his candidacy, plus, your calls and IMs!

We hear from Dr. Thaer Ahmad, a Palestinian American doctor who spent time in Gaza trying to administer to a civilian population under relentless siege. Plus, Constitutional scholar, Bruce Fein, takes apart the Supreme Court's decision to grant the president of the United States the powers of a king. Dr. Thaer Ahmad is a Palestinian-American emergency physician who has made numerous relief trips to Gaza. Dr. Ahmad is Assistant Program Director for the Emergency Medicine Residency Program at Chicago's Advocate Christ Medical Center. He also serves as the Global Health Director and Medical Ethics Director for the Emergency Department at Advocate Christ. Dr. Ahmad is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago and a board member for MedGlobal, a medical humanitarian NGO that works at building healthcare capacity and reducing health inequities globally.I don't think [Palestinian healthcare workers] get enough credit for what they've had to deal with over these last several months… These doctors are also displaced. Their families are displaced. They are living out of tents and they are showing up every day at the hospital to treat the community that's there. They've not been paid—the health ministry collapsed—they have no money. They're totally dependent on the scarce aid that gets in. These doctors are showing up to work when they should be in line at the bakeries that are producing some of the bread—where they should be in line collecting some of the aid that's being distributed. But they're showing up.Dr. Thaer AhmadI work with MedGlobal. They're doing fantastic work on the ground. They're in Gaza—more than 110 physicians and nurses who are Gazans are running medical points throughout the Gaza Strip. They have a malnutrition center that they're also using to help with the starvation that we were talking about. So I think that that's an excellent organization to contribute to—medglobal.org .Dr. Thaer AhmadBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law.  Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.[On Trump v. United States]: The court gave nothing more than the equivalent of, “We know when it's not immune when we see it, but otherwise you try to guess what that's going to be.”Bruce FeinIt's a judicial counter-revolution. It's a violation because it basically turns the Constitution into a scrap of paper—it means whatever the Justices want it to mean. It doesn't have to find even a single word in the Constitution to justify the opinion.Bruce FeinIt's really a judicial coup d'etat that occurred on July 1, 2024. It's hard to fathom the belief that these six judges think they're going to get away with it. There is going to be all kinds of damage to all kinds of people—regardless of their political labels—and there's going to be a big pushback. Do they think they're going to get away with it? These unelected, lifetime-position judges?Ralph NaderNews 7/10/24 In Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. Haaretz reports that in the immediate wake of the October 7th attack, the Israeli Defense Forces implemented the ominously named “Hannibal directive” which “directs the use of force to prevent soldiers being taken into captivity.” In other words, the explicit order of the Israeli military was for Israelis to kill Israeli soldiers to prevent them from being taken hostage by Hamas, in order to deny the group leverage in negotiations. As Haaretz reports, this directive also put civilian lives at risk. The Hannibal Directive had been a secretive but official Israeli policy since the 1986 capture of three soldiers by Hezbollah in Lebanon, but was formally revoked in 2016. 2. Lancet, the prestigious British medical journal, has published a study estimating that as many as 186,000 people have been killed in Gaza as a direct or indirect result of the genocidal Israeli military campaign. This casualty count, far higher than the commonly cited figure of under 40,000, supports estimates offered by advocates. If accurate, this would mean Israel has wiped out nearly 8% of the total population of the Gaza Strip.  3. Due to previous legal entanglements, the United Autoworkers union is subject to a consent decree with the federal government. Included within this consent decree is a federal monitor assigned to the union. Yet, the Detroit News reports that this monitor, Neil Barofsky, went far beyond his mandate to pressure the union over its position on the crisis in Gaza. According to this report, following UAW's official call for ceasefire, Barofsky called UAW president Shawn Fain to share his “concerns” about the union's position. Later, Barofsky signed off on an email which included an ADL complaint about the union's call for a ceasefire. Benjamin Dictor, outside counsel for the UAW, wrote to Barofsky saying “Your call to President Fain on an issue so blatantly outside of the Monitor's jurisdiction was inappropriate…[and] represents a surprising lack of integrity.”   4. More misbehavior from the ADL is on display in a recent expose from the Guardian. According to this report, based on a leaked internal memo from 2020, “the ADL collected information on a Black Indianapolis activist, Tatjana Rebelle, who worked on Deadly Exchange, a national campaign against an ADL-backed program to send US police officials for training with the Israeli military.” Rebelle is quoted in this piece saying “It scared the s**t out of me…It stopped me from moving forward because I don't want to put people in my life at risk – I work with youth, so it stopped me in my tracks.” The ADL calls itself the “leading anti-hate organization in the world,” with a straight face. 5. AP reports Boeing has taken the deal offered by the Department of Justice, and will “will plead guilty to a criminal fraud charge stemming from two crashes of 737 Max jetliners that killed 346 people.” The plea deal, which must still be approved by a federal judge, dictates that Boeing must pay an additional $243.6 million fine and submit to independent monitor-ship for three years, among other provisions. Ike Riffel, whose sons Melvin and Bennett died in the Ethiopian Airlines crash, is quoted saying “Boeing has paid fines many a time…When people start going to prison, that's when you are going to see a change.” 6. President Biden shows no intention of stepping aside as the Democratic nominee. This is despite open calls from prominent Democratic lawmakers, such as Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff, as well as a full-blown revolt from major Democratic donors like Abigail Disney. Recent polls show Biden losing most swing states by a substantial margin, including an AARP poll in Wisconsin showing him running 12 points behind Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin. Infuriating many of those who wish to avoid a second Trump term, Axios reports “President Biden indicated…[in his interview with George Stephanopolous] that he would be at peace if he lost to former President Trump ‘as long as I gave it my all.'” 7. Hurricane Beryl is ravaging Texas, leaving millions without power, according to CNN. This widespread power outage will only compound an incoming heatwave, with the Houston heat index reaching 100 degrees on Tuesday. Las Vegas hit a record high temperature of 120 degrees the same day, per Fox 5. As many have remarked, this is likely to be the coldest summer for the rest of our lives. 8. The Daily Beast reports the Pope has excommunicated Carlo Maria Vigano, an ultra-conservative archbishop who served as the Vatican's ecclesiastical diplomat to Washington from 2011 to 2016. A long time opponent of Pope Francis, Vigano has become increasingly unhinged in his criticisms, including accusing the supreme pontiff of being a “servant of Satan.” Other wild claims he has made in recent years include retweeting a Marjorie Taylor Greene post stating that  “The Covid vaccines are killing people,” and calling Black Lives Matter protests the machinations of “the children of darkness.” Vigano was accused of schism and found guilty.  9. In the United Kingdom, the New Arab reports five pro-Gaza independent candidates won seats in the House of Commons, including Shockat Adam, who defeated shadow Cabinet minister Jonathan Ashworth. Most prominent of these however is Left-wing luminary and former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, who successfully defended his seat in Islington North after being expelled from the Labour Party over his criticism of Israel. Reuters reports that upon his victory, Corbyn said voters are “looking for a government that on the world stage will search for peace, not war.”  10. Finally, beating all expectations, the French Left emerged victorious from the second round of legislative elections. The New Popular Front lead by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, won the most seats, followed by Macron's centrist bloc, after the two formed a “Republican Front” to defeat the Far-right, led by Marine Le Pen. Now, negotiations are underway to choose the country's next Prime Minister, according to France24. Mélenchon has campaigned on a very simple platform, stating “I'm not saying we will create a paradise from one day to the next, but we will put an end to hell.” This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.   Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

In this episode, I am joined by someone who I greatly admire. He's not the flashiest leader. He doesn't make headlines every day, but in my opinion, he is a modern-day hero, and one of the brightest leaders in the labor movement. His name is Shawn Fain and he is the President of the United Auto Workers. The UAW, under Shawn's leadership, recently secured a historic contract with huge pay and benefit increases for workers at the Big Three automakers–GM, Ford and Stellantis. But the UAW did not stop there. Under Shawn's leadership, they have launched a massive new initiative to organize non-union auto plants in the South. And they have notched several more historic victories in recent months. In April, workers at a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee voted to join the union, becoming the first large nonunion auto plant in the South to do so. Weeks later, the union negotiated a new contract bringing significant pay and benefit improvements for its members at several North Carolina factories owned by Daimler Truck.The campaign hasn't been without its setbacks. Last month the UAW narrowly lost a unionization vote at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama following a concerted anti-union effort from corporate interests and the state's governor. Both the US and German governments are currently investigating Mercedes for the intimidation and harassment they inflicted on their own workers during the campaign.But just this week, UAW electric vehicle workers in Lordstown, Ohio reached a tentative agreement that will more than double their wages by the end of the contract.So I am very excited to talk about the success of the UAW and the resurgent labor movement with my guest, UAW President Shawn Fain.

In this week's collaboration, Mike Elk of Payday Report and Bob Buzzanco of Green & Red Podcast discuss the failed union vote at a Mercedes plant in Alabama, and how this might affect the UAW president Shawn Fain's reputation going forward. --------------------------------------------- Outro Music: "They'll Never Keep Us Down," by Hazel Dickens Links: + Paydayreport.com + Twitter: @PaydayReport and @MikeElk Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/TVGydfnR) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

In our weekly discussion of labor and unions, Mike Elk of Payday Report and Bob Buzzanco of Green & Red Podcast discussed the upcoming UAW vote at a Mercedes plant in Vance, Alabama, and the long-term organizing efforts there. We had a great conversation about Shawn Fain's veto of a bill for the UAW to divest from Israel and how Fain's actions might not match his rhetoric. We also talked about the role of unions in campus protests as about 1/3 of the UAW workers are students. ------------------------------------------------ Outro music: Dropkick Murphys, "Worker's Song" Follow Payday Report at: https://paydayreport.com/ and Twitter at @PaydayReport Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/bdpYAxCn) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Jeet Heer, national affairs correspondent for The Nation, to round up the week in news. And then, they're joined by Matthew Film Guy! First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Trump's Georgia case, Menendez's legal woes, Gaetz's Subpoena, Russian elections, Donald Trump, and objections from big tech over labor laws, also parsing through some of the major seats up for grabs in the House and Senate come November. Jeet Heer then joins, as he helps Sam and Emma parse through Sen. Schumer's recent call for new Israeli elections alongside a two-state solution, looking at it in the context of the “uncommitted” movement as a (rather weak) attempt to stay the pressure from the left ahead of the election, despite the genocide raging on. Jeet, Sam, and Emma expand on the electoral conversation, discussing RFK's ballot access problem and VP PR stunt, and the Democrats' continuing failure to mobilize voters for Biden, before wrapping up by assessing Biden's dwindling polling numbers and the absolute absurdity of his new TikTok ban. Matthew Film Guy also joins, tackling his Oscar re-previews, and offering up his suggestion of what to watch this week –– Kiarostami's “Like Someone in Love.” And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma discuss Bernie's 32-hour workweek bill with some help from Shawn Fain, Tim Scott and Tulsi Gabbard do their best Trump Administration auditions. The MR Crew tackles the likelihood of a Kristi Noam VP, Dave Rubin and Greg Gutfeld celebrating fascism in their own, unique ways, and Ben Shapiro wanting to make you work (and you better be happy about it!). They also tackle the great retail theft myth, plus, your calls and IMs!
